This is the second of the historical end of the Arcane Society novels and the fourth written about this interesting group who both promote and hide paranormal talents. Looking into the past allows a certain amount of the present series to be understandable. The "present" is about operatives within Jones & Jones, this is about the founding and the reasoning behind the founding.

Yes, the characters fall in love (or is it lust) at first sight (over a corpse!) and there are times you wonder why they think they're in love. There are also occasions where the love is close to obsession but I found it a fun, light read with some fun characters. There are also some great concepts lurking that I hope she expands on over time.
Overall, a fun read but undemanding and with a few holes that could have done with a little work. If you like historical light-paranormal (i.e. psychic/magic not vampires/werewolves/etc) romances this is probably one for you.
