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.
But Venetia’s romantic whim causes unexpected trouble. For one thing, Mr. Jones is about to stride, living and breathing, back into her life. And someone he is tracking will go to any lengths, even murder, to possess an ancient, extraordinary secret that has been lost for centuries.

Amanda Quick is a pseudonym for Jayne Ann Krentz, the author of more than fifty New York Times bestsellers. She writes historical romance novels under the Quick name, contemporary romantic suspense novels under the Krentz name, and futuristic romance novels under the pseudonym Jayne Castle. There are more than 35 million copies of her books in print.
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. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
