Paranormal Romance
Jayne
Castle’s DECEPTION COVE is romance, fantasy, paranormal abilities, giant mutant
insects, aliens and dust bunnies, yes dust bunnies. What more could you ask for?
On Rainshadow Island,
two dangerous alien crystals have gone missing, creating a paranormal storm
that is threatening the stability of the island. Drake Sebastian’s eyesight was severely
impacted in a lab accident and he is now day-blind. Yet he can see light-talent Alice North when
she disappears as part of her magic act with her dust bunny Houdini. Thinking Alice may have some clue as to the
whereabouts of the missing crystals since one of her dead relatives had history
with the crystals (along with one of Drake’s relatives), Drake enters into a
Marriage of Convenience with Alice to protect her from her ex-husband’s
stalking psycho mother before bringing her to Rainshadow Island to find the
crystals and save the day.
Jayne
Castle’s DECEPTION COVE is a fun and whimsical paranormal romance. It takes place in an alternative universe
where technology no longer functions.
Long gone alien technology is everywhere and can be quite dangerous as
the inhabitants of Rainshadow
Island have
found. The characters are interesting;
an orphaned heroine with a dust bunny for a pet and a wealthy and influential
day-blind fellow light-talent. The evil
villainess was colorful and more than held her own in the drama department. The storyline was a bit predictable. But who doesn’t enjoy giant mutant insects,
dust bunnies and alien technology?
All in all,
DECEPTION COVE is yet another relaxing and entertaining paranormal romance from
the incredibly prolific Jayne Castle (aka JA Krentz).
