Overview:

The disappearance of a mysterious informant leads two people desperate for answers to an island of deadly deception in this new novel in the Lost Night Files trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz.

Talia March, Pallas Llewellyn, and Amelia Rivers, bonded by a night none of them can remember, are dedicated to uncovering the mystery of what really happened to them months ago—an experience that amplified innate psychic abilities in each of them. The women suspect they were test subjects years earlier, and that there are more people like them—all they have to do is find the list of others who took that same test. When Talia follows up on a lead from Phoebe, a fan of the trio’s podcast, she discovers that the informant has vanished.

Talia isn’t the only one looking for Phoebe, however. Luke Rand, a hunted and haunted man who is chasing the same list that Talia is after, also shows up at the meeting place. It’s clear he has his own agenda, and they are instantly suspicious of each other. But when a killer begins to stalk them, they realize they have to join forces to find Phoebe and the list.

The rocky investigation leads Talia and Luke to a rustic, remote retreat on Night Island in the Pacific Northwest, where the Unplugged Experience promises to rejuvenate guests. Upon their arrival, Talia and Luke discover they are quite literally cut off from the outside world when none of their high-tech devices work on the island. It soon becomes clear that Phoebe is not the first person to disappear into the strange gardens that surround the Unplugged Experience retreat. And then the first mysterious death occurs. . . .

My Review:

The Night Island
Jayne Ann Krentz
Lost Night Files #2

 

The Night Island book 2 in JAK’s Lost Night Files is full of mystery, magic, murder and romance

This installment stars podcaster, psychic finder of lost things and dead bodies, Talia March who readers met in Sleep No More where we find out about the terrifying night they almost died and newcomer Luke Rand, history professor who thinks he may have been turned into a psychic assassin during his own lost night. This unlikely pair will not only join forces to find a missing informant, taking on the inhabitants of mysterious Night Island during a supposed retreat but will also have to deal with a growing attraction.

Talia does have some secrets but is the more open book of the pair while Luke fearing his Mr. Hyde side has more reasons to keep things covert.

Readers are gifted with a non-stop action packed story, flowing prose like narrative filled with complex characters both good and bad, an atmospheric tale set on a mysterious island where the lodgers have to worry not only about human villains but plants that may be carnivorous as well. Fans of this author, this series, paranormal romance with kick butt protagonists will stay up all night devouring this novel.
