De: Amanda Quick

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 . . .

A romantic Victorian mystery with some paranormal elements

I enjoyed this book. The narrator did an excellent job and constantly reminds me of Lady Mary from Downton Abbey. The story is a mix of romance and mystery with a little bit of suspense, but I found it to be a nice cozy read. It has some adult sexual scenes, but doesn’t get super explicit.

Good hybrid of Romance & paranormal mystery

A sensual romance turns to murder mystery with bits of the paranormal. Characters are so likable and real that it all works together nicely.

Wonderful period story.

This is a compelling performance and a very interesting period mystery. I recommend the audio book. Do not miss this.

Second Sight

Second Sight

I love these books by Amanda Quick, (Jayne Ann Ann Krentz) they are always entertaining. I look forward to all the books she writes under all her names. I’m waiting for a new Jayne Castle.

Psychic gifts

This is a story
about people with psychic gifts, believe in them or not. I found it interesting since I encountered a woman in a doctor's waiting room who saw me enter to deliver supplies. She said she could read my aura and that I was a nice person. I was in a rotten mood at the time. go figure.

Always a good read.

It's nice to listen to it. Also soothing voice.
Love this series of books.

A sensual story

I enjoyed the telling of the story. The audio acting was done very well, one of my favorites.

Excellent!

I have read this book in hard cover and listened to it twice. I love her books and her characters.
