Got all that? Good, because judging from the way this book ended, I think it may also be the first book in another subseries. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>This is Jayne Castle, aka Jayne Ann Krentz, aka Amanda Quick, probably aka something else among her friends. \ud83d\ude42 We&#8217;re on Harmony, a future world initially accessed through a wormhole and then cut off from earth, leaving the natives to fend for themselves as they uncover the many varied secrets of the new planet. <\/p>\n<p>In this book, another new secret: A strange area called the preserve, protected by a border few can even penetrate. There&#8217;s something weird in there, and many who have gone looking for it never came out. <\/p>\n<p>Fascinated? Okay, me too. Wish we&#8217;d gotten some answers is this book, but like I said, I&#8217;m thinking this is also the first book in a new series (duo, trio?) about this particular aspect of the planet. If it&#8217;s not&#8230;.ahem! (Jayne, you can consider that my official protest and call to arms. \ud83d\ude42 )<\/p>\n<p>Actually, this was a good read, despite not learning the tantalizing secret. Charlotte and Slade were good characters, not as epic as some of her recent arcane couples (but in a good way). There was more romance than suspense\/mystery in this one, a bit of a switch from recent trends, but not an unwelcome one. <\/p>\n<p>This was a quick, cozy read. I recommend if you&#8217;re into Jayne Castle (under whichever name). <\/p>\n<p>Title: Canyons of Night<br \/>\nAuthor: Jayne Castle<br \/>\nISBN: 0749956070<br \/>\nPublished August 30, 2011<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Get ready for it: This is book number 12 in the Arcane Society Series, number 3 in the Looking Glass Trilogy, and Harmony number 8.
