Publisher Description

New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick invites you to experience a thrilling adventure filled with the lure of ancient secrets and the simmering passions of the Victorian age in the first Arcane Society novel.

Venetia Milton's memories of a romantic night with Gabriel Jones—an alchemist's descendant—are shattered soon thereafter by news of his death. Adopting the guise of his respectable widow, she embarks on a new career as a fashionable photographer in London, where her unique ability to "see" beyond her subjects makes her photographs highly prized.

But Venetia's romantic whim causes unexpected trouble. For one thing, Mr. Jones is about to stride, living and breathing, back into her life. And someone he is tracking will go to any lengths, even murder, to possess an ancient, extraordinary secret that has been lost for centuries. Someone who believes that as the "wife" of Mr. Jones, Venetia is the key . . .

"One of the stories that i do love. i never get tired of reading it over and over. the story is exciting and entertaining. although venetia and gabriel's romance story was brief they still kept their love for each other. as they work together to solve the mystery, they work as one."

    " It's a wee bit like a romance novel but enough supernatural/paranormal mystery to keep it interesting and not cheesey. "

    " Was pretty predictable but fun to read. It was recommended to me because I like stories about auras and such. Interesting take on that. I'll probably look up future books at some point. "

    " Worth reading as a preview to the other novels. I thought some detail was missing. Maybe she should have written it as a prequel? "

    " I loved this book. I am really getting into the Arcane Society books. I'm going to buy these books from now on (was going through the library) as I suspect I'll be re-reading them... "

    " I love romance novels, but what I like about this book and the rest from this series is that it also adds something else to it that is a fun element to the story line and to the characters themselves. "

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " Quick, breezy, funny Victorian-era romance. Sure, it's one of the more scoffed-at genres out there, but it also holds a huge share of the market. Books like this are why. Don't go in expecting Great Literature, but don't look down your nose, either. Well-plotted entertainment isn't a bad thing. "

    " Good fast read. Got last night and am half way through. Not usually a huge fan of romance novels but this one isn't cheesy--well, that cheesy--and the mystery and characters are interesting enough that the plot is keeping me reading. Great art it ain't, but good entertainment. "

    " I didn't realize when I read Third Circle (which is part of this series later down the road) that these are romance novels. The risque part of the book aside it is a decent story. I love the time period. "

    " Darn. Not anywhere near as good as #5, Running Hot. It still had the annoying graphic sex to skip over and not as much of the fantasy-sci-fi element. If the next Arcane Society book is not at least a 4 I won't bother with the rest. "

    " These are mindless reads for those short spans of time I have when Olivia is sleeping. Characters are predictable to a degree and I've yet to be surprised at the ending. But I suppose that is true of most books classified as a romance. "

    " After reading a few reviews of this book. I have come to realize that I must have read a different book altogether. Because the book I read was very corny and dumb. Two stars is to much for this book, but I didn't hate. It most certainly did not deserve any higher. "

    " Not a bad read, but not as good as I had expected given the reviews I've read of the series. Maybe Nora Roberts and Linda Howard have spoiled me, but I had expected better from Amanda Quick/Jayne Ann Krentz. I'll give a few more of this series a shot, but I was a little disappointed. "
