Second Sight by Amanda Quick Book 1 of Arcane Society Financially straitened and on the path to spinsterhood, Venetia Milton thought her stay at the remote, ramshackle Arcane House would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to engineer her own ravishment. She was there to photograph the artifact...
All of Amanda Quick’s romances follow basically the same pattern, which gets tedious. However, since I hadn’t read one of her books in a long time, I enjoyed this one more than I had expected. Second Sight is no exception to Quick’s trademark writing as far as romance is concerned – by the way, in...
This is, to my mind, one of Ms Quick's lesser works. Seems like most of the characters in here have some kind of psychic or paranormal power and I find that just plain silly. Take that element out and make it a tale of a secret society and a secret formula, and it might just work. Not to say that Ga...
I know the Arcane Society series has been going strong for a few years, so I thought I'd give it a try. I really loved some of Amanda Quick's historicals back when I was in high school and college (I still have happy memories of sneak-reading Seduction on the school bus), but this book just didn't q...
Ipigenia is a spinster who has resigned herself to a life of being a companion or assisting in a relatives house. When she gets a chance for a break in London when a friend invites her to a wedding and a visit with her. She takes the opportunity but when she takes a break in an inn she ends up quara...
This book was just as enjoyable as the others in this series I've read. If you're a fan of Jayne Ann Krentz/Amanda Quick, then you should definitely enjoy this book as well. I've been reading the Arcane Society books out of order (so far #2, #3, #6 and #1), but they all work well as stand alones, ...
If you wished Sherlock Holmes (Doyle, not Downey, Jr.) was a romance than this is the book for you. Throw in some early feminist thinking and you've got Second Sight.The dynamics between the two protagonists are good, though at times seem strangely aloof--it makes sense, so just go with it. Plus Gab...
Venetia is a photographer with an unusual talent, she can see a persons personality and intent through their aura, a secret she´s shared with non but her family. Gabriel is a member of the Arcane Society, investigating and keeping an eye on anything unusual, and he himself has a secret ability. They...
Really 3 ½ stars. Well narrated by Anne Flosnik. I could swear I’ve read this book b/f, but I know that is not possible. I think AQ just recycled some of her plotlines on this one. The romance happened too fast and the reasoning for her taking his name was kind of “Huh?” (IMHO). I said this again ...
A paranormal historical romance mystery that was neither paranormal, historical, romantical, nor mysterious enough. So many deliciously schlocky elements that I should have adored (secret society! ye olde photographye! pretend-to-be-married! ye olde independente laydee! ::handwave:: magic!), but ho-...
