Silver Master (Ghost Hunters, Book 4) Review
User Submitted Silver Master (Ghost Hunters, Book 4) ReviewsNovember 18, 2008 wonderful Jayne Castle is a super writer, love her books and can't wait for the next one! I highly recommend these books! Just wonderful September 1, 2008 Wonder addition to the Psy series Cadence City matchmaker and para-resonator Celinda Ingram meets her match in security specialist Davis Oakes. On the hunt for the powerful relic that Celinda supposedly bought as a toy for her pet dust bunny, Davis must use all of his unique psychic abilities to try and wrest the ruby red object from the suspicious duo, keep his desire for Celinda in check-and keep them all safe from those who will do anything to possess the relic. Another wonderful addition to the Psy series. Jayne Castle is a wonderful word artist with delightful, fun and interesting stories. This excellent tale reminded me much of Zinnia and Orchid earlier entries to this series. Celinda was a wonderful heroine who saved the day with her dust bunny friend and her bravery. She knew her own mind and was a strong lead character to Davis the hero. I would have liked to see the dust bunny babies at the end. I hope Jayne Castle continues with this series. March 16, 2008 Entertaining..Exciting...a let down Ok, so I love this series so much that I had to stop reading for awhile, because I was dreaming in green, but thats how it goes. The only problem was that I felt the book was incomplete, like there should be a sequel or something...I felt that there are many more problems ahead for these two and that it should be continued with another book....One thing that I loved, was that I got to catch up with the other characters from the other books, that was my fav part, but I really, really wish that Ms. Castle is working on Ghost Hunter #5...I could use some more February 26, 2008 Silver Master I love everything she writes and this is no exception! She is my favorite author no matter which name she writes under. February 9, 2008 Ok story but I wouldn't recommend buying it. It sounded creative: humans and pets with psychic abilities and living on another planet, but it felt like a "made-for-tv movie." The book seemed formulaic. The hero and heroine (Davis and Celinda) met, fought and chased the bad guys and ended up in love. I was hoping for creative or witty dialogue which was not there. Nothing surprised or delighted me. The characters seemed like copies of characters from other books. In one scene, Celinda was too whiny for me. Davis was her bodyguard. She had to go to her sister's wedding, and she didn't want him to come. She was complaining about the social awkwardness and everyone asking her questions about him. CAUTION SPOILER: The violence level was mild. A bad guy died when he accidentally shot himself. Thugs were chasing and trying to kill Davis, but he knocked them unconscious instead of killing them. Other bad guy deaths were told rather than shown. Sexual language: mild. Number of sex scenes: three. Setting: a time similar to early 21st century on the planet Harmony. Humans had colonized the planet. Copyright: 2007. Genre: paranormal romantic suspense. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - For a list of my reviews of other books by this author, see my 4 star review of "Sizzle and Burn" posted 2-09-08. January 22, 2008 Silver Master As always, I really enjoyed this book. I love the way she works the dust bunnies into the story. Being a pet owner myself, it makes her characters much more relatable. I've always loved SciFi/Fantasy and since I got married, I've come to appreciate romance novels as well. This author blends all my favorites into very entertaining books. I highly recommend them.Silver Master (Ghost Hunters, Book 4) January 2, 2008 Fantastic Series This entire series is worth reading.Her style of writing and the idea of setting the series on another planet is innovative. Her characters are interesting complex simple, flawed and lovable. I hope the next one is availble soon. Check out the Acane Society series as well. December 8, 2007 more dust bunnies, please! Jayne Ann Krentz returns under the Jayne Castle penname to give us another paranormal tale in the Harmony series (After Dark, After Glow and Ghost Hunter), and again, I think it JAK at her very best. I think she is fresher, more like her peak style in the Castle books, and I look forward to each new addition. It's great world-building - Covenant Marriage, psi powers, dust bunnies, powerful guilds and even more powerful men who control them. Celinda Ingrams is the leading authority on Covenant Marriages, which are similar to old marriages of the ton really, people marrying for the advantage of both parties. Only, her matchmaking ended in trouble, so now she is flying low - or so she hopes. Her dust bunny convinces her she needs a toy, only the toy turns out to be something else entirely. It's one of the relics left over by the mysterious alien race that once lived on Harmony. The relic was stolen from the Guild at Cadence, and the Guild boss is determined to see it fetched back. To the aim, he employs Davis Oakes to aid in it's return. Davis owns and runs Oakes security, but he is also a Ghost Hunter. He has rare talents, even for a ghost hunter, and also has secrets, both which he tries to keep under his hat. Readers won't be surprised when his psi clicks with Celinda. Celinda is not too thrilled with the prospect, as all this brings her too close to the Guild again, which threatens to bring out all the old secrets she has been trying to avoid. As the pair becomes a target, they are force to join their psi talents in order to stay one step ahead of the person who will stop at nothing to possess the relic. I highly recommend the whole series, as well as Amaryllis, Orchid and Zinnia. November 7, 2007 Silver Master This is a good book,always like the characters in Jayne Ann Krentz. Yes,she writes as Jayne CAstle November 4, 2007 An Exciting New Thrill Ride on the Futuristic world of Harmony Celinda Ingram has secrets. Few know the full extent of her unusually powerful psi abilities or the reason the professional matchmaker had left Frequency, her family, and her business behind four months ago under a cloud of scandal. Fortunately Celinda's reputation as a leading authority on Covenant Marriages (she wrote the book) landed her a job with the exclusive Promises, Inc. in Cadence City. Now all she wants to do is keep a low profile and do what she did best, match the psychic profiles of her high profile clients to those best suited for a happy permanent commitment and avoid any association with the Guilds which she likens to organized crime. Unfortunately the latter becomes impossible when Celinda's dust bunny Araminta persuades her to purchase what she believes to be a cheap toy from a local antique shop. In fact her five dollar purchase happens to be an extremely rare and powerful relic left over from the previous alien civilization and had recently been stolen from the Cadence Guild. The Guild boss wants it back and has employed Davis Oakes of Oakes security, to recover the item. Oakes has rare abilities as well. Davis has secrets too. Born into a long line of Ghost Hunters, he is a hunter by nature. However his personal talent is much more unique having the ability to pull silver ghost light from a different part of the spectrum than the others. Unfortunately his talents can rarely be used without severe consequences to his health and in dream state can have interesting side affects as well. Surprisingly his psi also resonates very strongly with Celinda's causing her to tag him "Mr. Perfect" and although she has no respect for Guild business and he's been recently burned by another professional Covenant matchmaker, they are instantly intrigued with each other. Each would have no doubt gone their own way if Araminta has not had strong objections to her toy being given to the detective. When the dust bunny makes off with the relic, Davis has no choice but to keep Celinda close and asks her out to dinner. She accepts but from there things get complicated. When the pair is almost taken out following their dinner meeting and return to Celinda's ransacked apartment, it soon becomes obvious that someone else knows about the relic and will stop at nothing to possess it. Elsewhere a unethical parapsychologist has the relic's twin and is fully aware of its potential for mind control when used by one with his own unique psi abilities. Celinda is expected back in Frequency over the weekend due to her sister's wedding. Davis believes she needs a bodyguard and proposes himself -- as her date for the affair. This poses additional problems, explaining why a Covenant matchmaker would bring a man of such short acquaintance to a family affair and returning to the scene of her unsavory experience with the unbalanced Guild member she'd refused to take as a client. (The true reason she left town). Naturally they wind up on the run and in life threatening positions in which only their own rare talents and strong emotional attachment to each other will save the day. This adventure was a complete thrill ride. Although Silver Master is the 4th title in Ms. Castle's Ghost Hunter series it is the first I have read. It won't be the last. I felt the story stood well on its own, with the preface explaining the major premise of Harmony. However from reading other reviews I realize that many of the secondary characters that appear briefly in Silver Master have appeared previously. I will certainly be acquiring the series backlist as soon as possible. An excellent futuristic read that I highly recommend.--- Reviewed for PNR Reviews For more Silver Master (Ghost Hunters, Book 4) reviews click here.
