Romance Suspense

Leona Griffin is a survivor of a kidnapping in the underworld, where her team was held captive and forced to work at a site. She was rescued and again on top of her para-archeologist career only to have it all blown away during an evening event. She was supposed to authenticate some objects for elite, secretive collectors, not get caught up in a police raid or find a dead body and certainly not find herself dealing with some crazies who claim to be Vincent Lee Vance cult members. Leona is about to learn it takes a psychic to get out of the mess she is now in.
 
Oliver Rancourt is used to being a man that no one ever sees coming until he is seen by Leona. One of the items up for authentication is also an item stolen from Rancourt’s family para-museum and his plan is to secretly retrieve it. What happens is not part of the plan as he watches an intriguing woman rescue a bunch of captive dust bunnies, and sees her do her thing on stage then with her by his side flees when the cops show up.
 
The item is known as Pandora’s Box but also inside it is a pyramid of the same crystal that Leona and her sister wear around their necks. Now Leona must trust a man with secrets to help her learn more about her past.
 
IT TAKES A PSYCHIC is another fantastic offering in the Harmony world of Jayne Castle. What more can you want when you have a mystery man, a woman who is trying to keep her head above water and find out what truths she can and a dust bunny who wears a fascinator? Ms. Castle does a fabulous job of mixing intrigue with humor (what could be funnier than an emotional support dust bunny) and romance in an easy-to-read, but don’t want to end format.
 
All kinds of action happen from the start to the finish of IT TAKES A PSYCHIC, trust grows between the main characters, though with the extra abilities that Leona and Oliver have tried to keep hidden, it isn’t easy. But when crazies come after you it is good to have someone who has mysterious abilities have your back. Roxy, of course, steals the show a number of times with her antics and daintiness – until she goes full demon bunny that is.

SUMMARY

Two unlikely allies search for the secrets of their pasts while on the run within the Alien world of Harmony in the thrilling new novel by New York Times bestselling author Jayne Castle.

Leona Griffin is at the height of her career as a para-archeologist thanks to a recent Underworld discovery. Her high profile attracts the attention of an organization of elite, secretive collectors. They want her to authenticate the artifacts that aspiring members submit as evidence to join their group. The ceremony takes place at a glittering reception where Leona is shocked to discover that one of the relics is a powerful Old-World object known as Pandora’s Box. But she’s not the only one interested in that artifact.

Oliver Rancourt, a man with a unique talent—they say you never see him coming—is also there. Leona knows she must not underestimate him. Attempting to make a discreet exit, she stumbles over the body of a waiter wearing the emblem of a dangerous cult. Before she can alert authorities, a police raid sends the reception into chaos. To avoid being arrested, Leona slips away with Oliver—a risky decision that gets her fired.

Now forced to work together, Leona and Oliver pursue an investigation that leads them to the town of Lost Creek where the locals are obsessed with a chilling legend involving a long-dead cult leader and illicit paranormal experiments. But Leona knows the real danger may be the irresistible attraction between herself and Oliver.
