"Smooothly Plotted Novel"

Ms. Krentz's latest is another chapter in the Whispering Springs saga, as interior designer Zoe Truax and her new husband, Ethan, try to make a go of their fledgling marriage. While Zoe competes with fellow designer Lindsey Voyle for a decorating gig, her psychic powers lead her to some disturbing conclusions, as she witnesses some negative energy in a model home she is helping design.

Several plotlines carefully mesh together, as friend Arcadia fears that her supposedly dead husband may find her, Zoe searches for the source of her psychic episodes, and Ethan becomes the target of a murderer. Yet readers will not only be attracted to the smoothly transitioned story line, the characters are both believable and likeable, making this second Whispering Springs novel(after LIGHT IN SHADOWS) a must read. One can only hope that Ms. Krentz's literary pursuits will include more novels in the Whispering Springs series.

Summary

Zoe is an interior designer with a unique sense of style. But even more uncanny is her sense of what's going on under the surface, the secrets a house can hold.

At the moment, though, Zoe isn't concerned about a client's space. She's more worried about what's going on in her own house in Whispering Springs, Arizona, where she lives with her new husband, private investigator Ethan Truax. After a whirlwind courtship, and a dangerous adventure, they've gambled on commitment, hoping that their powerful attraction can help them learn to live together despite their utterly opposite personalities.

But newlywed life is suddenly interrupted when a shadowy figure from Zoe's past shows up in Whispering Springs, and her closest friend is put at terrible risk. For Zoe and Arcadia Ames share a shocking secret. And as they seek to protect the truth, they must join together, and with Ethan's help, accept a very dangerous dare.
