 Ghost Hunter January 12, 2008
I like Jayne Castle and her si-fi books. The audio book format is great, I listen when I go to bed. I often have to replay a cd, but I eventualy get through it.

I've been writing para/rom for years and this was the first one I've actually read! lol@me Well, I don't think I could have chosen better. The characters were believable, the scenes rich and the dust bunny adorable. The ending was a little weak, but the rest of the book was enough fun that I overlooked this shortcoming.

Jayne Ann Krentz has been one of my favorite authors for nearly two decades. Sheesh, my time flies when you're having fun. I love her earlier books best - Family Man, Wildest Heart, Absolutely Positively. I think it's with her Harmony books that she really it at Jayne Anne at her very best.
Need I say more? Highly recommended.
I wanted the world to go away! May 17, 2007
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
My attention was completely focused on this book. I just wanted the world to go away so that I could enjoy it uninterupted. It didn't quite happen like that but I never left the book for longer than I had to. That is a ringing endorsement of how much I was enjoying this story. GHOST HUNTER had it all; excitement, mystery, romance, and two lead characters that I really liked.
Elly was considered the unusual one in her family. Her parents and brothers had powers which she did not posess and so she was always treated as the delicate one. A future in botany was just fine with her, she loved that field of science and was content with her teaching role. What she wasn't content with was the seeming indifference Cooper Boone had to her and their upcoming marriage. He was not interested in a Marriage of Convenience but wanted to go directly to a Covenant Marriage. How could she commit to being his wife when he so obviously put being the Guild Boss ahead of her? Like any red blooded woman she broke the engagement, quit her job, and moved to the big city. Life began to change for her immediately and she learned a lot about herself.
Cooper Boone had wanted to be a Guild Boss since the age of nine. He was a man who planned every move in his life. His only problem was that he did not remember to include Elly's possible reactions to his well laid plans. He was stunned to have her return his ring. He decided to give her six months to get tired of big city life and then he would tell her he had never considered their engagement at an end, the marriage had just been postponed. Imagine his surprise when he arrived in Cadence City to find Elly with a new haircut, sexy new clothes and a thriving herbal shop.
Jayne Castle has written the third novel featuring Cadence City and ghost hunters with her usual style and high quality. It contained a wonderful romance and a good suspense/mystery plot which was not quite as exciting and absorbing as the plots of AFTER DARK and AFTER GLOW, at least for me. But the fantasy world which she has created is so interesting and the interaction between Elly and Cooper was such a delight for me to read that I am willing to accept whatever her creative imagination has to offer. I would love to meet this woman, she has incredible storytelling abilities.

Elly St. Clair and Cooper Boone are engaged-until Elly finds out that Cooper has fought a duel over her. It's not the dueling she minds so much, as the reason for it-control of the Aurora Springs Guild. Elly had hoped Cooper was at last showing a bit of passion toward her. Instead he was only concerned with his rival's attempt to worm his way into Guild leadership by marrying Elly, whose father sits on the Guild council.
And Elly naturally suspects Cooper of the same motive-especially since he has always wanted to head the Guild. So she breaks off their engagement and moves to the big city-Cadence City-where she starts her own business. But Cooper has no intention of letting her go.
Taking us into the world of Harmony, a planet settled by earth's descendants, who have begun to develop psi powers after a few centuries there, Jayne Castle, AKA Jayne Ann Krentz, AKA Amanda Quick pens yet another winner for the reader to enjoy.
Mix action, suspense, drama, hot romance and plop it down into the middle of Castle's lush and intriguing world, and you have the author's usual can't-put-it-down-`til-the-last-page success. Castle's imagination has carried us through many incredible and riveting yarns, and it doesn't fail us here as she skillfully draws us into Elly and Cooper's hunt for a psi killer who is peddling an extremely dangerous new drug.
I enjoyed this book as I always enjoy Castle's work: way too much. But when Castle/Krentz/Quick has a new book available, the rest of the world will just have to wait. Recommended.
