Amaryllis by Jayne Ann Krentz, Jayne Castle
4.0
This was the first in the St Helens trilogy and is some her earlier work. I enjoyed this story but I could tell it just didn't gel like her later work does.
A curtain/veil opened on Earth 200 years earlier and allowed humans to explore other planets in another part of the galaxy. Humans came upon St Helens and established a settlement and then the curtain closed and there was no more travelling between Earth and St Helens.
St. Helen's, is similar to Earth in many ways, aside from the fact that the majority of its inhabitants have varying levels of psychic abilities. St Helen's society is very conservative in some ways yet liberal in others.
Amaryllis Lark helps others focus and control their psychic abilities. Lucas Trent , a wealthy businessman, the rugged owner of Lodestar Exploration hires her to attend a party to investigate a suspected traitor within his firm.
Neither of them are prepared for the connection they feel towards each other as they try to determine if Amaryllis' former boss and mentor was killed in an accident as the police have concluded, or if he was murdered, as Amaryllis suspects.
I was interested enough in this world and will continue with the series.
