In Too Deep by Jayne Ann Krentz

5.0

In Too Deep by Jayne Ann Krentz is filled with mystery, intrigue, magic, and romance. It's the perfect combination for a spectacular story. 

Will Fallon and Isabella unravel the mystery around the para-weapons? 

Isabella Valdez 

Isabella comes from a long line of conspiracy theorists. Even though she understands the theory, she doesn't want to be part of it. However, she ends up in the middle of one when she starts working at Lucan Protection Services. Just when her life starts getting settled, she ends up the fall guy for her corrupt boss. Her grandmother sends her to Scargill Cove to J&J for assistance if things get too dangerous. 

I like Isabella. She has an easygoing personality and puts people at ease. Some of it could be her power, but I think a lot of it is her personality. She accepts people for who they are and doesn't judge them. Isabella is sweet, but don't underestimate her, as she is also a fierce warrior when she needs to be. 

Fallon Jones 

Fallon Jones is the current head of Jones & Jones (J&J). His family has run the investigation service for a long time. Fallon's power is extremely powerful. However, power doesn't help with matters of the heart, and Fallon, although he doesn't know it, is lonely. He has set himself up in Scargill Cove on the Northern California coast. A small town with only a handful of people. All doing their best to stay off the grid. However, this has isolated him from the Arcane Society and his family. 

Fallon is quiet, a little brooding, straight to the point, but has the manners of an older gentleman. It was nice to see how he reacted to Isabella and her love for him. They truly bring out the best in each other. 

The Mystery 

The mystery is two parts, plus a bit more. First, we have the reason that Isabella ended up in Scargill Cove with Fallon. Which is her boss at Lucan set her up to take the blame for his selling para-weapons to those who shouldn't have them. Then we have Fallon trying to track down the rest of Nightshade's operatives (part of the Arcane Society plot line) and dealing with the clockwork-type weapons that were stashed in Scargill Cove twenty-two years ago. 

Five Stars 

My rating for In Too Deep by Jayne Ann Krentz is five stars. I started reading Ms. Krentz's alter ego, Amanda Quick's Burning Cove series. I was immediately drawn to her writing style, which made me search for more of her books. However, I was given this book and Quicksilver, so the decision was made to start Arcane Society at the almost end of the series. I know now that I will go back and read the other books too. 

I highly recommend In Too Deep and all books by Jayne Ann Krentz, Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle. 

Thank you for dropping by! I hope you enjoyed this review of In Too Deep by Jayne Ann Krentz. 

Until the next time,
