The New York Times bestselling author presents the story of a curse that spans generations, and the love that can heal it. . . . More than three centuries ago, Nicholas Winters irrevocably altered his genetic makeup in an obsessionfueled competition with alchemist and Arcane Society founder Sylvester Jones. Driven to control their psychic abilities, each man's decision has reverberated throughout the family line, rewarding some with powers beyond their wildest dreams, and cursing others to a life filled with madness and hallucinations. Jack Winters, descendant of Nicholas, has been experiencing nightmares and blackouts--just the beginning, he believes, of the manifestation of the Winters family curse. The legend says that he must find the Burning Lamp or risk turning into a monster. But he can't do it alone; he needs the help of a woman with the gift to read the lamp's dreamlight. Jack is convinced that private investigator Chloe Harper is that woman. Her talents for finding objects and accessing dream energy are what will save him, but their sudden and powerful sexual pull threatens to overwhelm them both. Danger surrounds them, and it doesn't take long for Chloe to pick up the trail of the missing lamp. And as they draw closer to the lamp, the raw power that dwells within it threatens to sweep them into a hurricane of psychic force.

This is the modern version of Burning Lamp and further adverntures of several families involved. Jack Winters is the latest of the Winters generations and is worried. He's recently experienced blackouts and nightmares, he believes it's down to the Winters family curse. Chloe Harper is a dreamligh...
Actual rating 3.75 stars. I find I enjoy the historical novels in this series more, though they all tend to follow the same general pattern.
Jack needs help from Chloe with the Burning Lamp to not turn into the monster his great grandfather cursed their line with. And of course Nightshade is in the works, waiting for a chance to gain power. Fallon from J&J makes an appearance, too.
Well, this was the usual Arcane Society fare with an added twist of a going-crazy threat. Not as good as the historicals in the series and not as good as the first few contemporaries in the series either, but still above par to what's out there these days.JAK/AQ/JC just never disappoints.The problem...
