Review: Canyons of Night by Jayne Castle

August 30, 2011 by Helyce 7 Comments

Canyons of Night by Jayne Castle (The Looking Glass Trilogy #3) Paranormal Romance August 30, 2011 Paperback Berkley When I received this book for review and realized that it was not only part of a trilogy but part of a long running series I thought it might be prudent to do a little research. Jayne Castle is aka Jayne Ann Krentz and Amanda Quick. I had read Jayne Ann Krentz before, had even read one or two of her Arcane Society books, but I am far from current. I had not read Continue Reading

TWELVE DAYS OF BOOKMAS By Jayne Ann Krentz In which I answer the twelve questions that I am most frequently asked and recommend a book for that hard-to-shop-for person on your holiday list. SECOND DAY OF BOOKMAS Question # 2:  What were your formative books, the ones you loved growing up? I get asked this question a lot.  The answer is, my mother made sure I was exposed to the classics but I can’t say I was ever a fan.  There were two kinds of books that really called to me.

All's faire in love and war for two sworn enemies who indulge in a harmless flirtation in a laugh-out-loud rom-com from debut author Jen DeLuca. Emily knew there would be strings attached when she relocated to the small town of Willow Creek, Maryland, for the summer to help her sister recover from an accident, but who could anticipate getting roped into volunteering for the local Renaissance Faire alongside her teenaged niece? Or that the irritating and inscrutable schoolteacher in charge of Continue Reading

Tori’s Mini Reviews The Girl Who Knew Too Much by Amanda Quick Historical Mystery Suspense May 9, 2017 Grade: DNF I’ve always been a fan of Amanda Quick and her alter egos (Jayne ann Krentz and Jayne Castle) no matter what century we are in or what planet we’re on. This particular one caught my eye because it is set in the roaring 20s and hints at a diabolical and suspenseful mystery involving murder, lies, and revenge. The story opens with a murder when a young secretary, Anna, Continue Reading
