Book Review
Sleep No More
written by Jayne Ann Krentz
Here is the newest delivery of contemporary mystery, paranormal, romance entertainment from Jayne Ann Krentz!
I have read many (if not most) of Krentz' books over the past decades. I find them enjoyable, interesting, and able to capture my attention. She writes characters that are sympathetic and relatable and adds just enough intrigue and mystery to keep me reading. She writes under names for her historical and futuristic series (Amanda Quick and Jayne Castle, respectively) and will incorporate her characters and themes throughout all of them so that the reader, should they choose, can experience the ripples of characters' actions throughout generations.
Ms. Krentz has written many mainstream titles as well as several series including the paranormal. This is the first in a new trilogy of related characters that encounter the paranormal which adds an element of the undiscovered to the story. In this book, the two main characters are both on quests to discover what caused each of them to have experienced a period of transient global amnesia which caused them to lose memory of a whole night and which triggered their otherwise tame paranormal senses into sensory overload. These quests bring them together to form a partnership to investigate the occurence.
The side characters are fun to interact with and move the plot along in a satisfying manner. As this is the first in the newest trilogy, there was some resolution but also a preview into the larger game being played that will involve more people in the future. Reading Krentz is an enjoyable afternoon or weekend endeavor; curl up with a good book and a dog (or other pet of your choice) and you will have a guaranteed good time.
