Praise for

THE LOST NIGHT

“[Castle] has created a fully imagined futurist world in Harmony . . . The real achievement here, though, is something considerably more old-fashioned: the establishment of vital interactions between the characters, whether in love, hatred, or friendship.”


The Seattle Times

“Castle’s deliciously dry sense of wit, delightfully amusing characters, and devilishly imaginative plot, spiked with plenty of thrilling twists and turns, all add up to another stellar romance from one of the genre’s most consistently entertaining writers.”


Booklist
(starred review)

“Another fascinating journey into the world of Harmony complete with the author’s beloved dust bunnies . . . One can’t help but be enchanted by yet another mesmerizing tale set on the world of Harmony.”


Night Owl Reviews
(Top Pick)

“A mysterious island, a dangerous and unknown preserve, and a hot passion combine together in
The Lost Night
. I could see the sparks that came off of Rachel and Harry and knew this was going to be one hot book. It was in more ways than one . . . The wonderfully suspenseful plot, slight touch of humor, and exploding passion make
The Lost Night
a must-read for me.”


Joyfully Reviewed

“Vivid world building . . . I never knew what to expect . . . A satisfying return to the world of Harmony, and I look forward to seeing what happens next on Rainshadow Island.”


The Bookpushers

“Engaging characters.”


Fiction Vixen Book Reviews

CANYONS OF NIGHT

“Jayne Castle has delivered another captivating romance in
Canyons of Night
, the conclusion to the addictive Looking Glass Trilogy. No matter who she’s writing as, whether it’s as Castle, Jayne Ann Krentz, or Amanda Quick, this is one author who never, ever disappoints . . . [A] spectacular read that’ll have you reading nonstop for hours only to lament the end when you turn your final page.”


Fresh Fiction

“Writing as Castle, romance supernova Jayne Ann Krentz delivers another irresistible addition to her Harmony books while, at the same time, cleverly freshening the series up by setting things in the new locale of Rainshadow. With its danger-infused, passion-rich plot; captivatingly wrought characters; and sharp humor,
Canyons of Night
is both a must-read for Harmony addicts and also an excellent introduction for newbies to Castle’s unique brand of romance.”


Booklist
(starred review)

“Complex, bold, funny, and hot, this darkly tantalizing tale, uplifted by dust bunny antics and zingy dialog, masterfully concludes the captivating Looking Glass Trilogy. It lays the groundwork for Castle’s new Rainshadow series, which will explore the remote island’s mysterious Preserve and promises to be one of her most intriguing projects to date.”


Library Journal

“I really enjoyed the romantic chemistry between the hero and heroine . . . Several action scenes keep the story interesting and the description of the inside of the Preserve includes some creative delights.”


Romance Book Scene

Praise for the novels of
New York Times
bestselling author Jayne Castle . . .

Publishers Weekly

“Writing under Jayne Castle, Jayne Ann Krentz takes her trademark combination of witty, upbeat action, lively sensuality, and appealing characters to [a] unique, synergistic world.”


Library Journal
