Fired Up

by JAYNE KRENTZ

Putnam | June 10, 2011 | Hardcover

The "New York Times"?bestselling author presents her latest Arcane Society novel and introduces the first book in the Dreamlight Trilogy?the story of a curse that spans generations, and the love that can heal it. . . .
More than three centuries ago, Nicholas Winters irrevocably altered his genetic makeup in an obsessionfueled competition with alchemist and Arcane Society founder Sylvester Jones. Driven to control their psychic abilities, each man's decision has reverberated throughout the family line, rewarding some with powers beyond their wildest dreams, and cursing others to a life filled with madness and hallucinations.
Jack Winters, descendant of Nicholas, has been experiencing nightmares and blackouts?just the beginning, he believes?of the manifestation of the Winters family curse. The legend says that he must find the Burning Lamp or risk turning into a monster. But he can?t do it alone; he needs the help of a woman with the gift to read the lamp's dreamlight.
Jack is convinced that private investigator Chloe Harper is that woman. Her talents for finding objects and accessing dream energy are what will save him, but their sudden and powerful sexual pull threatens to overwhelm them both. Danger surrounds them, and it doesn?t take long for Chloe to pick up the trail of the missing lamp. And as they draw closer to the lamp, the raw power that dwells within it threatens to sweep them into a hurricane of psychic force.

    There's just too much about how secret societies work, how their para-senses work, about the characters' bloodline, how the characters reason out everything ... but there's not enough about other aspects of the story that are just as crucial. Hopefully, this is only because the first book is the "set-up" book for the rest of the trilogy.

    For a contemporary romantic-suspense, the romance was barely there, while the suspense might only start once you've hit chapter 41 of 61. There may have been some hot love-making behind the scenes, but as for what reader can get, there are only 2 "hot" but short scenes. I think the book's description describes too much of what happens in the book.

    Chloe Harper and Jack Winters may be meant for each other, but I didn't feel much of anything for the characters. Their para-senses may work well together, they work well as a team, but that's about it in terms of chemistry.

    However, the plot is good and the setting isn't bad. The Dreamlight Trilogy may be a great trilogy as the premise is interesting and intriguing, but Book One of this trilogy (also Book Seven of the Arcane Society novels) didn't do the trick for me.

    I would re commend reading the previous novels about the Arcane Society - Though not necessary to enjoy this story BUT you will want to know more about the how and why the Arcane Society came to be so..... treat yourself to some real good stories and characters and go to the Author's website or to the Fantastic Fiction website to find out the order to read them in .
