The Hot Zone by Jayne Castle Book 11 of Harmony -- Book 3 of Rainshadow The world of Harmony has its wonders, one of them being Rainshadow Island. Just beneath its surface, a maze of catacombs hides a dangerous secret...… Halloween—with its tricks and treats—is a dust bunny’s dream come true. ...
Sedona Snow survived being experimented on, and now she works on Rainshadow Island, when Cyrus Jones arrives on the island neither of their lives will be the same again.I enjoyed it hugely.
One of the better ones in the series. Was somewhat amused that I read this after watching Jurassic Park - the Preserve seems to have these monsters keep showing up dead, and the H/h have a run-in with what appears to be ancient alien dinosaurs.

I haven’t enjoyed this author’s new novels in recent years, but this one, her latest, reminded me why she was on the bestsellers’ lists for decades.

I received a digital and print copy in exchange for an honest review from Berkley and Netgalley. Okay so this is a book you have to read from the beginning of the series. The Hot Zone is the 3rd book in the Rainshadow series and the 11th book in the Harmony/Arcane series (its a little confusing if y...
Probably the best of the Rainshadow Island series, but it's really not as much about Rainshadow as about Arcane and "the formula". A continuation of the Arcane/Harmony threads. Which I prefer; I thought she got a little off track with Rainshadow. I liked the characters, although the bad guys were...
4.5 CocktailsIt’s fitting that a dust bunny named Lyle saves Sedona and starts this book off, since dust bunnies are one of my all-time favorite things about this series. They are these cute fluffy creatures full of character and mischief, but they also have a saying about them, “by the time you see...
