"An excellent addition to the Harmony series!"
I've thoroughly enjoyed every one of Jayne Castle's
Harmony books so I was thrilled that not only did she have
another Harmony book written but I was going to get to
review it! I highly recommend not only this one but all
other of her Harmony books! They are all well worth
hunting up and reading. This book is about Elly St. Clair, botanist at the local
university who is engaged to Cooper Boone, local Guild
boss of Aurora Springs. When Elly finds out that Cooper
has been keeping Guild secrets from her, she breaks their
engagement and moves away. Cooper figures he'll just give her a wee bit of time alone
and then she'd come running back but guess what? She
doesn't. She sets herself up in business and makes new
friends in the town of Cadence which is larger than Aurora
Springs. So Cooper figures he has to go to her but he
decides that he will go to her on the premise that he has
business there. Elly looks him up when she hears that
he's in town because her good friend Bertha has
disappeared in the catacombs and she needs a powerful
ghost hunter like Cooper to help her negotiate the tunnels
so she can find Bertha. Little do Cooper and Elly know what they are getting into
with trying to find Bertha. There's much more to it than
that and that's just the start of this thrill a minute
wild ride of a book! I look forward to more stories in this setting!
Futuristics are some of my favorite reads and Jayne Castle
writes some of the best!! This one will go directly on my
groaning keeper shelf!

First Time in Print
SummaryWhere deadly energy ghosts lurk in the ruins of an ancient
alien civilization. Where dust bunnies prove to be loyal
pets. And where a ghost hunter will discover that a woman's
heart is the most dangerous adversary of all...
Local Guild boss and powerful ghost-hunter Cooper Boone is
everything botanist Elly St. Clair could ask for - the
handsome, strong, and silent type. Maybe too silent. For
when Guild secrets threaten her career at the college, Elly
has to call off their marriage - and leave small-town life
behind...
But starting over in the thriving metropolis of Cadence
City isn't easy, especially when one of Elly's new friends
disappears in the eerie catacombs beneath the streets.
Cooper turns up just in time to help Elly investigate. And
as the mystery deepens and dangerous ghost myths and
legends come to light, Cooper makes it clear he intends to
stick around - and this time he's holding nothing back...
