Product Description:
New York Times–bestselling author Amanda Quick’s new Arcane Society novel reveals the passionate— and paranormal—secrets of proper Victorian London.
Called “supremely addictive” by Booklist, the Arcane Society novels, written under both the Amanda Quick and Jayne Ann Krentz names, have pulled readers into a saga filled with steamy romance, drama, and dark intrigue. Her newest novel promises to mesmerize as well.
Leona Hewitt, disguised in men’s formal evening clothes, has secretly made her way into Lord Delbridge’s private museum to retrieve a relic stolen from her family. But someone else is in the dimly lit gallery on the same errand: a tall, blackcloaked man whose very voice is enough to cause her to fall into a trance.
Thaddeus Ware, a mesmerist with psychic gifts, is accustomed to fearful reactions from others—women, in particular. After all, a man who can control the minds of others could rob a lady of her virtue—completely unbeknownst to her. But Leona shows no trace of hysteria in his presence. A gifted crystal worker, she exerts a rather hypnotic power over the hypnotist himself. And she is determined to keep the coveted crystal they manage to recover by giving him the slip at a run-down London inn.
Thaddeus, on assignment for the Arcane Society, knows the menace Leona is courting by absconding with the crystal. A source of remarkable energy, it holds the potential for great destruction. Lord Delbridge has already killed to acquire the crystal, his key to membership in the elite, shadowy group known as the Third Circle. And, with the help of a ruthless hunter of preternatural skill—dubbed the Midnight Monster by the press—Delbridge intends to find Leona. With the stolen crystal in their possession, the danger is only beginning.

Leona Hewitt is determined to recover a crystal that has been in her family (on and off) for many years, but was stolen from her mother. Thaddeus Ware, who is a member of the Arcane Society, has mesmerist powers, and is determined to get the same crystal artifact for the Society. They meet over a dead body in the house of a Lord who dabbles in dark powers, both attempting to secretly steal the jewel--and they find that they need both of their skills together to accomplish their goals. Afterwards, ... Read More

I have read quite a few of Quicks books and this one is worth the read! I could not put it down! The subject was interesting and the characters were believeable. The romance could have been a little more involved. Overall, if you like her writing you should be satisfied with this book.

Bloody hell! Damnation! The Third Circle is so full of dastardly Victorians blustering on about the disruption of their villainous plans that it's hard to find the plot. That damnable woman keeps interfering and somehow, the cads can't manage to get rid of her in spite of their mastery of the "psychical arts." I like a good paranormal novel, but this is the second of Quick's novels that I've struggled through. Since reading should be enjoyable, not irritating, I'm off to find an author who relies less ...

I read the other books of this series but purchased The Third Circle on MP3 audio. I have to say that it seemed to lose something in the audio. I would have rated the other books in the Arcane Series (both the Amanda Quick book and the JAK books) as a solid 5 stars. But this one didn't grab me quite like the others. I really attribute that to the reader because it was very difficult at time to distinguish one character from another. That made it difficult to follow. The story itself was good and ... Read More
