White Lies (The Arcane Society, Book 2) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Jayne Anne Krentz has taken her alter egos Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle and mixed the styles into a new Contemporary novel. The Arcane Society first presented in the Amanda Quick series has been brought to the present. The powers of the sensitives is remenisent of the powers in her St Helens Trilogy. They work very well togather and give us an interesting read.
Clare Lancaster is the illigetimate daughter of a real estate magnate. She became intimate with her biological relatives about 8 months ago. An e-mail from her sister brought her to Arizona to help Elizabeth escape an abusive husband. It seems the Glazebrooke family are members of the Arcane Society which measures the psychic power of the members. Clare and her mother are also members. Clare is a 10 on the psychic scale and can tell if you are telling a lie she is considered an exotic because of her power and abilities.
She is a human lie detector.
Jake Salter is an undercover agent for J&J (Jones & Jones)Detective agency. The Agency works to protect sensitives and root out any evil cabels that might form. He is working for Clare's dad. When Elizabeth's husband was shot and killed 6 months ago the clairvoyants at the Society found no connection to the Cabel that Jake is hunting. Jake is a 10 on the psychic scale an exotic with hunter powers.
Now Jake realizes he has been deliberately led down the wrong paths. Clare and Jake are very attracted to each other and the term running hot really means their powers mesh and open each other up to more sensitive revelations. Since Clare can tell if he is lying Jake decides to ask for her help on the investigation.
Almost immediately Clare has two close calls. She finally admits to Jake that she thinks Brad, Elizabeth's husband intended to murder her the night he was killed. Clare has thought this ever since she was the one to find him. Coming back to Arizona has just opened up the bag again. Now both Jake and Clare know there is someone who knows the truth and they have to find them first.
I enjoyed the book, it reminded me very much of an Amanda Quick book. I did like it and I would want to read it but I'm not sure I would pay $25 for it.
