This book felt very similar to most of her stuff lately. I kept wondering when/if there would be any mention of the Joneses. Surely these people would have some truck with them and the Arcane society. It was too similar in feel to make me believe she was going for an entirely new "world." There was psychic stuff and working through crystals which felt like the stuff that takes place on Harmony after humans come through the curtain and I wondered if the crystals might be alien artifacts...There was all that stuff about psychic burn which we are used to in that series. Still this one was more of a stand alone although I'm sure that there will at least be books about the hero's brother and sister. So if you like her recent stuff, you should enjoy this one. There's nothing astonishing or different but it's comfortable, well written and decently plotted. Midline Krentz. It's a contemporary which is a plus but it has paranormal elements. But at least the paranormal stuff is not overpowering. The characters were pretty standard but interesting. The usual monologue where the villains explain how and why they did what they did takes place. And in this book we get it from at least two characters. Krentz does this a LOT in her books now and it's a real negative. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Series note:Although set in the same world as the Arcane novels, this series involves a completely new set of characters, and aside from the psychic powers, there is no mention of the Arcane Society or any of its members.
This first book in the Dark Legacy trilogy follows the same formula as most of Krentz's other works whether historical, contemporary, or futuristic. In fact, the tone and style of writing, as well as the inclusion of crystals and a Dust Bunny-like canine, are more in line with the Ghost Hunters series written under her Jayne Castle pseudonym. Nevertheless, it is still an enjoyable read as the characters are likable and the mystery is intriguing.
Sam and Abby are sweet together and Sam's parents, especially his eccentric father, are very entertaining. The mystery is comprised of various different threads that are skillfully developed throughout the story and ultimately converge into a cohesive whole. That said, some readers may become confused with the confusing amount of information and detail. Moreover, the resolution to one particular plot point is rather anti-climactic -
The next book in the trilogy focuses on Sam's brother, Judson. Unfortunately, it appears that Krentz discontinued the series before Emma's book. Perhaps she will return to it in the future. ( )
