A Master Of The Genre...Nobody Does It Better!, 2008-06-05
"It Was Time To Lay Some Ghosts To Rest...
Anne Silver's brother had been working to expose a clever ring of swindlers when he was struck down by a car---a clear case of attempted murder.
Now Anne's determined to finish what her brother started.
But she can't do it without the help of ex-CIA agent Julian Aries, a man who once betrayed her.
With Julian as an unwilling consprator, the couple goes undercover to face ghosts old and new---an unsolved murder and a clever gang of fake psychics.
But, as Anne and Julian put their lives on the line, the icy chill of danger and a powerful desire they can no longer deny force them to confront the greatest unsolved mystery of all...their unlikely love.
"A MASTER OF THE GENRE...NOBODY DOES IT BETTER!"

Please... Save Yourself, 2007-10-31
I am a die hard JAK fan. However this book strays me away from her early works. The story was well developed but it was just horrible. I would not stray away from her book though, her later works are very very good. Trust me, Grand Passion, All Night Long and White Lies are great examples of her work. But if this is your first choice of a JAK book, dont bother. I could not wait to get off the plane to throw it out.

easy read, great beach book, 2004-08-07
I enjoy the easy, quick read or JAK. This book didn't disappoint me. I would suggest it to anyone who has enjoyed her books in the past.

You Should Give This One a Try - A 4.5 Star, 2003-06-20
This is definitely one of the writer's better written books. The story was about Anne Silver avenging her reporter brother's attempted murder by a bunch of thieves stealing valuables disguised as de-ghost experts. Since Anne was just an ordinary woman with no special investigative skills or training, she sought out Julian Aries' help in exposing these phonies. Julian was an FBI agent who promised to come back to her after he finished his then assignment. The problem was he never showed up, and as much as Anne hated him, she was left with no choice but to turn to him for advice and help. The story went on about how they set up the plan and trapped these cons in a haunted house and how they fell in each other's arm during the process. All in all, it is page-turner with an intriguing plot. Both characters were well developed, and the twist at the end was a sure surprise. I also like it when the writer added in a touch of supernatural spirit to spice up the story. If it were not for the silly gibberish quarrel that the heroine picked up at the first few chapters and some occasional typos, this book would warrant a FIVE-star. Anyhow, I would recommend this book to anyone who likes a fast-paced, suspenseful gothic with strong sexual tension blended in it.

Not bad at all, 2003-03-19
I enjoyed this novel a lot more than I have some of JAK's other shorter novels. The characters seemed to be adequately developed, there weren't any irrational jumps in emotion or plot, and the story didn't feel rushed or contrived. All in all I'd say it was worth reading, though I doubt I'd buy it.
Four stars for keeping me entertained and for keeping me from wanting to chuck it across the room in frustration.
