Description

New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick invites you to experience a thrilling adventure filled with the lure of ancient secrets and the simmering passions of the Victorian age in the first Arcane Society novel.

Venetia Milton's memories of a romantic night with Gabriel Jones—an alchemist's descendant—are shattered soon thereafter by news of his death. Adopting the guise of his respectable widow, she embarks on a new career as a fashionable photographer in London, where her unique ability to "see" beyond her subjects makes her photographs highly prized.

And someone he is tracking will go to any lengths, even murder, to possess an ancient, extraordinary secret that has been lost for centuries. Someone who believes that as the "wife" of Mr. Jones, Venetia is the key . . .

      • content: 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. (c) AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine

      • content:

        February 20, 2006
        Writing as Amanda Quick (Lie by Moonlight
        , etc.), Jayne Ann Krentz offers another spirited Victorian romance, light on Victorian, heavy on romance. Photographer Venetia Milton supports her brother, sister and maiden aunt while keeping secrets: her late father's bigamy, her paranormal gift for seeing people's auras ("like looking at a negative image of the world") and her more-than-willing ravishment by client Gabriel Jones. Heir to a generations-old clandestine association of alchemists, scientists and dabblers in psychic phenomena, Gabriel has a few secrets of his own. After his servants report his death to authorities to confound his enemies, grieving Venetia begins posing as his widow, with Gabriel soon showing up on her doorstep very much alive. Miffed, she consigns him to the attic, but their chemistry quickly reignites; while tracking down one murderous, blackmailing thief after another, they steal opportunities for fervent encounters in the garden, in the carriage, in the society's mansion and at home. But the evildoers still want Gabriel's family secrets—and now they want Venetia as well. Women masquerade as men and criminals masquerade as aristocrats in a society so full of disguise that not even second sight provides much protection. But with Quick's stylish dialogue, compelling secondary characters and near-operatic denouement, fans won't need or want it.
