The concluding novel of the "Looking Glass Trilogy", "Canyons of Night", is a complex, satisfying romantic suspense story with a dash of the paranormal. Writing as Castle, Jayne Ann Krentz perfectly captures the scorching chemistry between Slade Attridge and Charlotte Enright.

BOOK 1
SLADE ATTRIDGE & CHARLOTTE ENRIGHTE
To much cloak and dagger for me not enough romance and blood and gore.
Enjoyable read, futuristic mystery/romance and a dust bunny.
A bit formulaic, with no new elements. The dialogue is flat.
available as ebook
Jayne Castle (aka Jayne Krentz; aka Amanda Quick) is one of my favorite authors. I usually really enjoy her futuristic novels, but felt this one lagged well behind her other novels. Although the story is set after the closing of the "Curtain" you'd never know this was a futuristic story. There was no mention of coff-tea or much details into the alien world the story is set in. Everything seems pretty North American 21st century to me. Anyhow, I felt the story moved slowly and the characters lacked any real depth. For an author whose writing is usually so tight and suspenseful, the sign of a poorly written story is that I was able to put this book down several times, while I usually pull an all-nighter because I'm so involved in the story. Don't waste your time on this one. Do yourself a favor and read some of her work from the early 2000s.
The usual quirky heroine paired up with the dark, dangerous hero. The main difference is that they met as teens while in a remote island town(he saved her from maliscious tourists), and meet again years later when she takes over her aunt's business and he takes over as sheriff. He is one of the few heroes to have a dustbunny companion as opposed to her having one.
