Publisher's summary

The disappearance of a mysterious informant leads two people desperate for answers to an island of deadly deception in this new novel in the Lost Night Files trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz.

Talia March, Pallas Llewellyn, and Amelia Rivers, bonded by a night they all have no memory of, are dedicated to uncovering the mystery of what really happened to them months ago--an experience that brought out innate psychic abilities in each of them. The women suspect they were test subjects years earlier, and that there are more people like them--all they have to do is find the list. When Talia follows up on a lead from Phoebe, a fan of the trio's podcast, she discovers that the informant has vanished.

Talia isn't the only one looking for Phoebe, however. Luke Rand, a hunted and haunted man who is chasing the same list that Talia is after, also shows up at the meeting place. It's clear he has his own agenda, and they are instantly suspicious of each other. But when a killer begins to stalk them, they realize they have to join forces to find Phoebe and the list.

The rocky investigation leads Talia and Luke to a rustic, remote retreat on Night Island in the Pacific Northwest. The retreat promises to rejuvenate guests with the Unplugged Experience. Upon their arrival, Talia and Luke discover guests are quite literally cut off from the outside world because none of their high-tech devices work on the island. It soon becomes clear that Phoebe is not the first person to disappear into the strange gardens that surround the Unplugged Experience retreat. And then the first mysterious death occurs...

Hurry

Please write the next in the series quickly. Having to wait is difficult. When will it happen?

Great series

I Love the complicated details, cute romance adds to the spice. I cannot wait for the next in the series. Paranormal is exciting and fun.

I liked the story but,

I actually liked the story and I did enjoy the narrator for the most part but there was a few things that made me cringe. First being the voice of the main male character. Every time I heard it the voice reminded me of someone trying to imitate a 90s emo teenager lol. The second is more my problem but it made me want to dig my nails in my palm every time I heard it. Look I know as a author you have to stay up to date with the current reading audience, but I’ve been reading JAK for 20 years and every single time she said 20th century or mid 20th century I internally cringed. I’m only 42 and saying that made me feel 99 lol but like I said that’s more my problem.

Great Read

The Night Island (The Lost Night Files #2) was a great read by Jayne Ann Krentz. Talia March, Pallas Llewellyn, and Amelia Rivers all bonded by a night that they have no memory of. They do what they can to uncover the mystery of what happened to them months ago. The women suspect they were test subjects years earlier and are looking for the other people like them. Talia follows up on a lead from a fan of their podcast, Phoebe, and discovers that the informant vanished. Luke Rand is also looking for the same list of test subjects and shows up at the meeting place. They are both suspicious of eachother but they know they need to join forces to find Phoebe and the list. They are led to a rustic, remote retrear on Night Island in the Pacific Northwest. They quickly find out that people are literally cut off from the outside world because their devices dont work on the island. I enjoyed reading this book and cant wait to read more by the author.

Believe it! The 2nd book is better than the first!

Yes, it is the familiar three heroines in paranormal circumstances and each stars in their own book and find their own love of their life amid the sleuthing and adventures; BUT Jayne has imbibed all with new twists, new intrigue, and a touch more cliff hangers! The first book was highly entertaining but the second was a one listen event. The finger never drifted towards the off icon! No, take that last line back! When Eva regergitated “Nevada” like a Maine tourist I was tempted. Someone please educate Eva as to the proper pronunciation. Otherwise she was a five star performer.

A really great addition to the series....

I enjoyed the first book in this series and was excited to realize that this was going to be a series.

In this second book, we have the addition of Luke Rand to the series. I liked the fact that this added not only a bit of romance, but also some additional intrigue.

I'm looking forward to seeing where things are going to go from here.

Watch out for that plant!

Another winner by JAK. Looking forward to the last installment in this trilogy. Enjoy! It took a little while to get started but once it did, I couldn’t put it down. 

Intriguing

It demonstrates the lack of value people in power can have over human life. It brings to mind films like Suspect Zero, Hearts in Atlantis & a film made with Mel Gibson & Julia Roberts in which Gibson’s character is given psychedelics & manipulated by sociopathic government figures for their own selfish purposes. Disturbingly real.
I wasn’t happy with the affectation of the female narrator’s voice demonstrated at the end of most of her sentences. The male narrator was very good.
The story was worth the listen & time.

Every thing was good

I love this book a lot I can’t believe how good this book was my favorite of the spring
I will read more

Great listen

Book 2 of the series. Although there are references to book 1, you could read them out of order.
