Nice segue

The beginning off this Fogg Lake series was confusing. A whole separate group of psychic conspirators- why? But I guess one of the main themes through all of Jayne’s worlds is that psychic talents are normal and not everyone can be part of an ancient secret organization so I decided to go with it. Both of these books seem a little disjointed and at a sort of high school level of sophistication. If you’ve read many of Jayne’s books you will recognize a number of familiar plot devices but that doesn’t keep you from enjoying the experience. I think I would have preferred to read it though, because the narrator nearly does. Her reading is adequate with only a few misspoken words (why don’t they fix that in production-I can’t be the only one who noticed), but her breathy choppy delivery sounds much too young. I get that some of Jayne’s usual narrators are getting too old for these stories-Barbara Rosenblatt for example so a new narrator for this series was a good plan, but this one sounds like a high school kid. That said, she does a good job of differentiating the characters and her male voices aren’t bad either.
All in all a medium effort by JAK with a nice preview of the next book that means I’ll go on with the series.

Another fabulous story

I love JAK’s world and characters. It’s so nice to get lost for a little while in a place where the bad guys (and gals) get what they deserve and the good guys get their happy endings.

Not her best work.

Not the best book of hers' . Was difficult to follow at times and at times wasnt sure which character was talking.

Disappointing

If you like to Listen to 17-year-old reading harlequin type romances, then you will enjoy this. If not don’t bother, it’s a waste of money and time. There was some plot however but not enough to save it. I’m normally a huge fan but won’t be listening to this one again.

Intriguing retun to to Fogg Lake

Fun and enjoyable revisit to old friends from other books and catch a glimpse of new family connections .

Loves this author

Can't wait for the next book in the series. Loves all her books under all the names she writes under.

Different

I enjoyed the book. It was different but entertaining. Looking forward to reading the next one I. The series

Great series

These have all been great reads. I read them out of order with no problem. liked the characters and the story.

very entertaining

A good story line and interesting characters. I liked the narrator. This book has Fogg Lake connections and introduces new people.

Nasal Narrator

I love Jayne Ann Krentz and these stories with psychic powers are fun. The narrator though almost ruined it all for me. She just couldn't pull off the men's voices and they all sounded like teenage boys who haven't hit puberty yet. I don't know if the narrator was sick or what because it didn't bother me as much in the 1st one of the series she narrated. Just something to think about.
