 Just buy it - You know you'll enjoy it!! October 14, 2008
Jayne Castle/Krentz knows how to spin a good tale and delivers consistantly. I like how her theme stories tie in with one another while maintaining a unique storyline. Its like watching a family grow. It means that if a sixth book comes out I will have to buy it!!
Another wonderful book on Harmony October 11, 2008

I won't bother with a detailed review. Jayne Ann Krentz writes under the pen-name Jayne Castle only for books about the world Harmony. Filled with Psychic powers and Ghost Hunters.
Its one of the best paranormal series out there and if you've never read any of the Harmony books, you're missing out.
This is an automatic 5/5 and I finished it in one sitting. I just wish she would write more books for this series.
 C, The Best Thing Is the Dust-Bunny Companion, "Elvis" October 9, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Story takes place in Harmony. A world that is populated with earth descendants who were able to travel there via wormhole that no longer exists. This is their new society.
Over-privileged trust-fund baby, Sierra McIntyre, leaves her posh life to be an advocate for something in another town where nobody knows her dad is like the Bill Gates of the future. She gets a job at a local tabloid and actually stumbles on a potential real story.
Her story--- veteran ghost hunters disappearing off the streets. There's this thing called "The Guild" which is like teamsters running a government branch. The parallels between the organization and mob/teamsters are relatively easy to draw. Ghost hunters are like "Special Ops" who based on their natural abilities are able to navigate the catacombs of the alien underworld left by a civilization long gone.
The head of The Guild, Fontana, is the guy she wants to interview to get to the bottom of the ghost hunter disappearances. When they meet, it is electrifying. He proposes they enter into a Marriage of Convenience (as opposed to a Covenant Marriage) which allows them to be sleazy behind closed doors while maintaining some propriety. He does so because he believes she is his best link to finding out more information and he needs to protect her because he believes she is in danger. She agrees because she believes that his role as head of the guild gives her access to things she wouldn't otherwise.
So, off they go investigating and frolicking in pseudo-marital sin while trying to determine the truth.
The whole book was pretty much okay and the juicy parts weren't all that juicy.
The best part was this dust-bunny pet/companion (although Sierra is offended that some people refer to him as a pet, but he is!). Sounded funny. Ball of fuzz that exhibited emotion. Kind of like a Star Trek Tribble. OMG. Did I just geek myself out? Yes, a freakin' Tribble.
Page turner October 9, 2008
I've read all these books and each one gets better. Start anywhere in the series and enjoy.

I liked the characters and I especially liked Elvis the Dust Bunny. How absolutely cute for the coffee drinking Dust Bunny to be running around in a white sequend cape with sunglasses. Did I mention the "King" coffee cup or the dressing room? HA! Elvis definitely stole "the show." Sierra working for a gossip magazine and Fontana bribing her into marriage was fun to read about, too.
