second sight

outstanding book. Very good subject and very well written. I loved Venetia and her modern views.

Great Thriller/Romance

Amanda Quick does not disappoint in her latest installment set in Victorian England. She has the gift of all fine writers -- the ability to create interesting characters, complex plots, and fascinating details (who can resist the Arcane Society?) that leave the reader with the feeling that the time was well spent. The paranormal aspects of this book are particularly intriguing, and the romance aspect was well done.

Be prepared to finish this in one sitting, because you won't want to put it down.

Another Great Amanda Quick Novel

I do have to preface this review by saying that I am extremely biased towards Amanda Quick books. Love her storylines, interaction between characters, quick dialoge, I could go on. However I was a bit nervous about this story, as I really liked her Regency novels, but I am not a big fan of the Victorian Era. But she came though again. Her heroine was plucky and quick-witted and brave and very take charge. Her hero was powerful and confident. Venetia Milton was a photographer (unusual profession for a woman in the Victorian era) with a family to take care of. She was the sole breadwinner in her family consisting of herself, her aunt and her younger sister and brother. She had no time to persue relationships so the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get herself ravished was too good to pass up. Her employer (and ravisher) Gabriel Jones had the eyes of a sorcerer. . . however soon after thier tryst, Venetia learns that he has died tragically. As a romantic whimsy to pay tribute to him, she takes on the guise of Mrs. Jones, a young widow and goes to London to pursue her career. However, Mr. Jones is not dead, and the people who wanted him that way, may now be interested in Venetia. The story gets better from there with nosy interferring family members and secrets aplenty. This is the first Arcane Society Novel and I can only hope for more

GREAT FAN OF AMANDA QUICK

If you have enjoyed Amanda Quick other books you will find this one very entertaining. The characters are interesting and play off of each other well. The idea of both Gabriel and Venetia having paranormal abilities and both using them on each other was exciting. Both of their families were enjoyable to read about. I hope her next book is about Caleb, Gabriel's cousin.

Frankly, I'm disappointed...

Since everyone else has given the basic premise of the book, I'll just give my opinion of the book. Frankly, I was disappointed in the book. I am a die hard fan of "Amanda Quick/Jayne Anne Krentz/ Jayne Castle, but....
Yes, I do feel it was worth reading, but not in hardback. This book has interesting characters, an intersesting sub-plot with the Arcane Society going on, but it just felt like a longer book that had been whittled down for publishing purposes. The characters did not have the depth most of her books offer and the plot was a bit lame- just didn't feel like it was more than a detailed outline.
