Life is tough these days for Lydia Smith, licensed para-archaeologist. Seriously stressed-out from a nasty incident in an alien tomb, she is obliged to work in Shrimpton’s House of Ancient Horrors, a very low-budget museum. She has a plan to get her career back on track, but it isn’t going well. Stuff keeps happening.
Take the dead body that she discovered in the sarcophagus exhibit. Who needed that? Finding out that her new client, Emmett London, is one of the most dangerous men in the city isn’t helping matters either. And that’s just today’s list of setbacks. Here in the shadows of the Dead City of Old Cadence, things don’t really heat up until After Dark.

"After I read my friend, Cathy's review of another Jayne Ann Krentz book I remembered I had a few of the Jayne Castle Harmony series that I'd never read. I read this one - Harmony #1 last night. It was fun, lots of paranormal, a little romance and a great mystery. "

" I love the dust bunnies! I can never get enough of them! :-) I enjoyed this book a lot and it's what really got me hooked on Jayne Castle and her paranormal books. "
— Jill, 11/10/2013" Is was my least favorite of the Harmony series I'm not sure why this book is a two parter but maybe I'll like the second book more. "
— Ashley♥Alexis, 10/30/2013" A great introduction into the future community of Harmony. I want a dust bunny! "
— Rexanna, 10/29/2013" Not so great. Part mystery, part romance and part science fiction or fantasy. Usually I enjoy the mix but not with this one. "
— Joann, 10/21/2013" While definitely interesting and populated with exciting characters, many of the problems that drove the characters were simply glossed over in the conclusion. Furthermore, the relationship between the protagonists was poorly developed. "
— Sharon, 9/20/2013" Joyce Bean was the voice of the characters. "
— Vannessagrace, 9/19/2013" This was an extremely unique world but this uniqueness made it quite difficult to follow the reason for many of the new world's situation. Wonderful potential but it left me thinking I was missing something to make this story awesome. "
— Beth, 7/10/2013" Read it first 12 years ago, rereading the series...I still love the hero...like all of Krentz's heroes he's Alpha Male with a romantic side...but I found I didn't like the heroine as much as most of Krentz's women. "
— Virginia, 3/23/2013" I was highly distracted by the over use of the term "rez"- to the point it became extremely annoying. "
— Elliedakota, 3/12/2013" Set in the future, on a different planet. OK. "
— Lois, 12/30/2012" I'm hooked and I dont wanna get lose! "
— Lizzie, 11/21/2012" Almost certain I read this one . . . "
— rivka, 11/15/2012" After I read my friend, Cathy's review of another Jayne Ann Krentz book I remembered I had a few of the Jayne Castle Harmony series that I'd never read. I read this one - Harmony #1 last night. It was fun, lots of paranormal, a little romance and a great mystery. "
— Denise, 10/8/2012" Nice book, had me laughing several times. Too bad there isn't that much romance in it and that there are some small continuity errors in the story. "
— Barbara, 9/15/2012" Really good book.A very well written paranormal series..Funny and dangerous at the same time. Well worth your reading time if you are in to Paranormal mysteries. "
— Lenny, 6/21/2012" For all out beach reading, I love Jayne Castle who also writes as Jayne Ann Krentz and Amanda Quick. "
— Sasha, 6/18/2012" A good fantasy story where the characters come first and the setting second. "
— farmwifetwo, 2/5/2012" Join Lydia Smith,a licensed para-archaeologist trying to get her career back on track and Emmett London, a former ghost hunter and soon-to-be Guild Boss in Harmony. Lots of ghosts to tangle with, a family member to find and still time for a little fun inbetween. "
— Renne, 1/3/2012" Not so great. Part mystery, part romance and part science fiction or fantasy. Usually I enjoy the mix but not with this one. "
— Joann, 5/3/2011" This one was pretty different from the rest of the stuff I've been reading. In the beginning, I doubted I'd figure out the world, but it started to get easier as the book went on. I'm curious to see what will happen next. "
— Heather, 3/30/2011" Jayne Ann Krentz, writing as Jayne Castle, creates a future on another planet where people have psychic abilities. This backdrop makes a great setting for Emmett and Lydia's love story. This is my favorite romance set in Harmony that I have read so far. "
— Peyton, 6/23/2010" Great read by one of my favorite authors. Have actually re-read a couple of times. Really enjoyed the sci-fi world that JAK has created when writing as Jayne Castle. "
