1. Amanda Quick - Second Sight
2. Jayne Ann Krentz - White Lies
3. Jayne Ann Krentz - Sizzle and Burn
4. Amanda Quick - The Third Cicle

Jayne Ann Krentz often writes contemporaries, while her pseudonym Amanda Quick have stories set in the Late Victorian Era. This time, in her Arcane Society Novels, she will have stories crossing over between late victorian era and the contemporary era. The Arcane Society novels will explore paranormal/psychic stories.

It all started out with Amanda Quick's Second Sight where we are introduced to Gabriel Jones and Venetia Milton. They will set the tone of the series, as their adventures will help the society set the parameters in their paranormal/psychic research. We also get to read about Arcane Society and what they are about.

You see, the head of the secret society, known as the Arcane Society, are often taken from the descendants of the Jones family. When Second Sight ended, we find out about the alchemist's formula and how dangerous it is.

White Lies, second book in the series, set in the 21st century is about Clare Lancaster, a human lie detector, and the mysterious consultant Jake Salter. Within the society, they have this agency, arcanematch.com, that caters to matching up psychic couples based on their individual psychic profiles. This will then help each person in the society to be with another psychic who complements and understands them. As both Clare and Jake are level 10 in the paranormal scale, and both with an exotic (read: rare and weird) psychic talent, both are deemed unmatchable. However, both find themselves working together in an investigation, that led them to unravel another secret society, a cabal of psychic criminals that is hell bent on reproducing the alchemist's formula. And in the course of their working together, find themselves falling in love with each other.

Sizzle and Burn, third in the series, also set in the 21st century, continues the search for the cabal set on recreating the alchemist's formula. This time, we get to meet Raine Tallentyre and a Jones & Jones investigator, Zack Jones. Through the course of the story, we get to find out that their individual psychic powers somehow complements one another - Raine hears voices, while Zack sees vision. The problem lies in that Raine does not trust anyone from Arcane Society due to the incident that happened to her family instigated by the society in the past. But both of them has to work together, for this time, someone has targeted Raine, and she needs the help of Zack if she wants to survive.

Its an engaging series, and since i love JAK and AQ, am eagerly anticipating a paperback of Sizzle and Burn to hit the shelves in the coming months.

Picked this series only because of curiosity and then i got hooked. I now have all the books in the series, and when i have more time, will most likely include a review of each book in the series.

In Death Series is a futuristic thriller set in the year 2058 - about a NY City Cop - a female protagonist named Eve Dallas and the mysterious Irish billionaire Roarke. You get to read about what the future might bring in terms of technological advancement - ability to travel off planet, autochefs, robotic servants and others. Of course, human nature being as it is, there are still killers out there, and that's where the stories in each book evolve.

Aside from the individual cases that Eve Dallas has to solve in each book, we also get to read about her evolving relationship with the mysterious Irish billionaire Roarke. So as the series progresses, Eve and Roarke's relationship progresses also. Both characters have their own idiosyncrasies that makes reading the series so enjoyable.

Our cop, Eve Dallas, have a tragic past, that she has to overcome. She is tall with short brown hair, who is often clueless when it comes to fixing herself up (read: she is terrified of Tina, a beauty consultant and one of the fun characters in the series). She does however have a sweet tooth - and reading about her eating chocolates often incited my own craving for one. But when it comes to her cases, she is a bloodhound who will not stop until she closes a case. And oh yeah, she is technologically challenged - such that she often battles with her computer.

Roarke - the mysterious irish billionaire. Past is shrouded in mystery, a technological genius and quite gorgeous. Considered a suspect in the first book of the series, and this was where he and eve crossed paths. He often lends a hand to Eve when it comes to solving her cases, which infuriates Eve and often led her to threaten Roarke that she in turn will mess with one of his board meetings.

Eve and Roarke eventually got married and reading about how they dealt with certain aspects of their past is what made Nora Roberts a great writer - you actually feel for what the characters had went through. Its really a good thing that Nora Roberts is a prolific writer, such that as readers, we dont get to wait a really long time to read the next book in the series as NR often releases one every quarter. As it is, I am eagerly anticipating the next book in the series, Strangers in Death to hit the Philippine shores.
