Zoe is an interior designer with a unique sense of style. But even more uncanny is her sense of what’s going on under the surface, the secrets a house can hold. At the moment, though, Zoe isn’t concerned about a client’s space. She’s more worried about what’s going on in her own house in Whispering Springs, Arizona, where she lives with her new husband, private investigator Ethan Truax. After a whirlwind courtship, and a dangerous adventure, they’ve gambled on commitment, hoping that their powerful attraction can help them learn to live together despite their utterly opposite personalities.
But newlywed life is suddenly interrupted when a shadowy figure from Zoe’s past shows up in Whispering Springs, and her closest friend is put at terrible risk. For Zoe and Arcadia Ames share a shocking secret. And as they seek to protect the truth, they must join together, and with Ethan’s help, accept a very dangerous dare.

"Great second book. It's nice to see where a relationship goes after the romantic ending. This story had several layers of creepiness, suspicion, mistrust and outright doubt that the marriage would work. Even their dreams were forboding and held the spidery taint of something not quite right. I love the conversations about what it means to really be crazy and what it takes to accept the quirks of the one you love. Fun, slightly scary, and a little on the dark side, this book is a great second book in the series."

" This was good but I liked the first one better. In this one Arcadia, Zoe's friend is being stalked and Zoe and Ethan are there to help her out. "
— Paula, 2/14/2014" I just read Whispering Springs 1 last week and and picked up the second one by accident. Im happy there was a second one because i wasnt really content with how the first one ended. The second book continued right where the first one left off and i liked that. I liked the first book more but i liked this book because it gave me closure. I liked how she incorporated relationships of "the gang" but none of the other romances over shadowed Zoe and Ethan. If you liked the first book you'll like this one, "
— Ashley♥Alexis, 2/12/2014" Definitely makes me want to listen to the first one in this series. (Too bad, there are only 2 at this time. :-( ). "
— Susan, 2/12/2014" What a great two book series. Really liked all the characters. Zoe and Ethan were a great couple. "
— Steven, 2/6/2014" Thought I'd already booklogged this one, but apparently I was wrong! This one has likable, if a bit overly quirky characters, and a fairly standard suspense plot that picks up on threads from the previous book in this duology. There's also some very faint paranormal elements: this could easily have been an Arcane book, and you can see how Krentz is definitely revisiting themes from her earlier works in that particular series. "
— Joy, 1/29/2014" I read this book for the second time, and liked it just as much as the first time. It has been a couple of years and had forgotten the ending so it a surprise end both times! Good book. "
— Terry, 1/27/2014" Fast pace and a quick read! "
— Shari, 1/24/2014" This books keeps you reading! "
— Paula, 1/24/2014" This was good, not an easy read. I feel like it was a part of a series and I was missing something in the beginning. The characters seemed to already be developed. It was a good story, but all the build up left me a little unsettled at the end. It's like she rushed to get everthing finished up. "
— Connie, 1/17/2014" I have been a fan of Ms. Krentz's for a long time and this one didn't disappoint. I love to read a book that hits me with something I didn't see coming and this one did just that. Loved it! "
— Sharla, 1/14/2014" been a while since i read this, but i dont read crappy books often, and I've read so many of Krentz. must be good. "
— Lizzie, 12/29/2013" This one was a little slow at the beginning, but caught on about halfway through the book, and then made good use of the enjoyable side characters. Zoe Luce is a psychic and Ethan Truax is her PI husband. Both characters are likable; there's some intrigue, suspense and romance. "
— Vanessa, 11/16/2013" I liked that this was a continuation of Light in Shadows. While it tried to address all of the characters in this story, the story lines seemed to drag or jump a lot. Aside from the flow and seemingly lack of focus issues, I still enjoyed the story. "
— Jean, 9/13/2013" Good story, interesting plot, but she threw in 2 or 3 explicit sex scenes like you would find in a cheap romance ovel. Took away from the story line and seemed out of place.... "
— Donna, 8/21/2013" The second with these characters. A good adventure mystery romance. Just skip the R rated stuff. "
— Leslie, 8/5/2013" Good story. wonder if there is a third. "
— Diane, 6/27/2013" Typical Krentz, twisty turny suspense with a two great protagonists and their men. Arcadia Ames and Zoe Truax are in deep trouble. Their past is finally catching up with them and PI Ethan Truax is helping to safe guard them while investigating the mystery. "
— Barbara, 3/6/2013" Picked this up at the library...never read anything from this author before. "
— Sarah, 9/18/2012" This was an interesting story about people with pasts - some to hide from. It also had several love plots going on (but no triangles!). I enjoyed this book. "
— Katie, 9/15/2012" Um enredo muito interessante, um livro gostoso de ler!( O Sexto Sentido ) "
— Babete, 8/16/2012" Bad past situations lead to sticky current ones for Whispering Springs transplants. Will the lives they have carefully rebuilt and the loves they have found be rent asunder? What do you think? This is another solid Jayne Krentz novel which satisfies. "
— Jan, 3/20/2012" This is an author that I have read a lot of and have added her books to my 'keeper' book shelf. Most I have read at least twice and some even more than that. "
— C, 1/30/2012" This book was a little on the odd side for me. It tells the stories of three men and women and jumps between each of them. The plot however was really good once I got over the lead jumping parts. "
— Andrea, 1/4/2012" Romantic thriller....a quick read. A little anticlimactic, though. "
— Lisa, 11/28/2011" Romance Fluff, but I enjoyed it :) "
— Ashley, 11/6/2011" So glad she did a sequel! "
— C.J., 10/2/2011" I really didnt like it because I wasnt able to read the first book. I didnt understand a thing about this book.:D "
— mikha, 8/15/2011" I listened to this in the car and found it enjoyable. I especially liked the reader and the book was engaging. "
— Rachel, 8/2/2011" From this author, of the novels I have read by her this was my least favorite. It was a slow starter, I stuck with it, but not a favorite. "
— Sharmaine, 7/25/2011" I could happily read more about this group of people/characters. "
— Barbara, 3/10/2011" Um enredo muito interessante, um livro gostoso de ler!( O Sexto Sentido ) "

— Vanessa, 1/4/2010" I really didn't like this much, It didn't hold my attention or have me wanting to stay up all night wanting the mystery solved. This author was okay with character development but was most descriptive in the steamy bedroom scenes. Too bad it wasn't the entire novel. "
— Kelly, 9/30/2009" The second with these characters. A good adventure mystery romance. Just skip the R rated stuff. "
