Book Reviews of Dark Light (Ghost Hunters, Book 5)
Book Review: 3.5 stars - Where's the burn?
Summary: 4 Stars
A huge plus for readers new to the Harmony/Ghost Hunter world is that Castle does a very thorough intro to the history of Harmony and the Curtain and explains how everything works in the Ghosthunter world where psychic talent is the power that makes their technology work. While this is good for new fans, this does make the start a bit slow for those of us that have read all 9 or so of the books.
These books have become sort of formula, but I like the world and the leads are normally pretty good, with the heroine that doesn't quite fit into her role in Harmony's society and the hero who starts from his bad boy beginnings to rise to wealth and power while retaining his honor. But of course there is an instant physical and psychic attraction. I like both tabloid journalist/socialite Sierra and Ghost Hunter/Guild Boss John Fontana but Dark Light just didn't have the intensity of previous Harmony and Ghost Hunter books. The time frame of the story is short, about a week or so and even though the leads get married the day they meet, the development of the relationship and consummation doesn't happen 'til late in the book. Though John derezes five ghosts on the wedding day and he later melts amber, both incidents happen before they've formed any type of connection, so we don't get the expected payoff either time. Which was a bit disappointing - the sizzling effects of the 'hunter burn' are one of the best parts of the Ghost Hunter formula.
Oh and dustbunnies I almost forgot, the wierd little sidekicks, I normally love them, but the whole dressing up 'piece of lint' dustbunny Elvis as 'the King', just didn't do it for me. What I did like were Sierra's fellow tabloid employees, they brought a bit of life to the story as they jazzed up the facts of Sierra's wedding and honeymoon to come up with outrageous scoops and headlines when Sierra's life becomes front page tabloid fodder.
So while this was not an episode to die for it was still entertaining. I am hoping that Castle hasn't gotten tired of writing these and she rezzes the next one back up to her normal levels. If you like these light paranormal mystery romances where the leads have psychic powers, check out Castle's Arcane Society books. She has both contemporaries and historicals written as her alter egos Jayne Krentz, and Amanda Quick. And if you are already an Archane Society fan, now you can enjoy stories set in the past, present and future.
