Publisher Description

Virginia Dean wakes at midnight beside a dead body, with a bloody knife in her hand and no memory of the evening’s events. Dark energy, emanating from the mirrors lining the room, overpowers her senses. With no apparent way in or out, she’s rescued by a man she’s met only once before, but won’t soon forget….

Owen Sweetwater inherited his family’s talent for hunting the psychical monsters who prey on London’s women and children, and his investigation into the deaths of two glass-readers has led him here. The high-society types of the exclusive Arcane Society would consider Virginia an illusionist, a charlatan, even a criminal. But Owen knows better. Virginia’s powers are real—and so is the power she exerts over him simply with her presence. And if her abilities can be relied upon in the midst of great danger, they just might be the key to his investigation.

"Picked this book up at the library on Saturday morning ... and finished it on Saturday night. A quick, fun, read. I always enjoy this author's characters - the women are all strong-willed, the men are always brooding, dangerous and fall hopelessly in love. In this book Virginia Dean is a gaslight (paranormal) reader who finds herself implicated in a murder only to be rescued by paranormal investigator Owen Sweetwater. Everyone needs a little junk food for the brain from time to time!"

    " It seemed to be a typical Amanda Quick novel, meaning I could pretty well predict it from beginning to end. Even so, I still enjoyed it. The introduction of the Sweetwater clan was very interesting. The jokes about Dr. Spinner and his treatment for female hysteria were hilarious. The animosity of Gilmore Leybrook toward the Jones's set up even more books for this series, which I will look forward to reading. "

    " While I like the contemporary (Krentz) and the paranormal (Castle) time and settings more, this was an enjoyable jaunt in the historical time for Arcane and J&J. I liked both main characters and the premise was well done. "
