SECOND SIGHT

A briskly told Victorian-era suspense, SECOND SIGHT begins a new series about the mysterious Arcane Society. Further books will be published by Quick's alter ego, Jayne Ann Krentz, beginning in January 2007. One can only hope that they'll be as witty and engaging as this one, which pairs aura-seeing photographer Venetia Milton with psychic Society member Gabriel Jones. Anne Flosnik's reading is competent but not exceptional, though she does do credit to Quick's sparkling dialogue and spicy love scenes, which are certainly the most important aspects of the story. The exchanges between Venetia and Gabriel--in and out of bed--are the most fun of all. C.E.W. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/ MAY 07]
