Editorial Review:
The New York Times-bestselling author of Falling Awake and All Night Long takes her fans beyond the everyday boundaries of the mind-and the heart-in a compulsively readable new novel of paranormal power, deception, and danger . . . Petite, thirtysomething Clare Lancaster is a Level Ten para-sensitive-and a "human lie detector." Over the years, she's come to accept that someone with her extraordinary talents is likely to have trouble in the relationship department. And she's even resigned herself to the fact that everyone, to one degree or another, hides behind a façade. . . . And now it seems that meeting the half sister and family whom she never knew until seven months ago was a mistake. Her father summons her from California to play a role in his business empire, and Clare doesn't intend on making the same mistake twice. But after meeting Jake Salter, Archer Lancaster's "financial consultant," Clare is convinced that things aren't what they seem. Salter's careful conversation seems to walk a delicate line between truth and deception, revealing and resisting. Something sparks and sizzles between them-something more than the usual electricity between a man and a woman. Caught in a dizzying storm of secrets, lies, and half-truths, Jake and Clare will plunge into an investigation that demands every bit of their special gifts-together they must overcome their mutual distrust in order to unravel a web of conspiracy and murder.

Average Rating: 
Rating: - Fun read
I really enjoyed this book. I did think there was a nice spark between Clare and Jake. I almost always like JAK's hero's, but I often get tired of her heroines. Not in this case. I found Clare to be spunky without the excessive attitude and just klutzy enough to be endearing. My only objection was it did drag a bit in places and there were enough contrived places to loose a star.
Rating:  - Very good.
Set in the present. Clare Lancaster had been raised by her mom and great-aunt in the San Francisco Bay area. She had been a teen when her powers hit her. Clare is a human lie detector, an exotic, level ten. She is also the illegitimate daughter of the multimillionaire, Archer Glazebrook, owner of Glazebrook Industries. Archer knew nothing about Clare's existence until now. Of course, Clare knows a lot about them already. When her half-sister, Elizabeth, emails Clare for help, Clare jumps to the rescue. ...

Rating: - 'Lies' will tide Ghosthunter fans over until August
Boy, just add some amber, a few 'rezzes' and set this on the Earth Colony of Harmony and you have one of Jayne Castle's futuristic Ghosthunter romances (Castle is a Krentz alter ego).
This had so many of the same elements -- even the pyschic rating scale and the matching making service -- but that's ok with me. This was light, and in no way earth shattering but I loved the preditory hero and the misfity heroine with the lie detector powers. I enjoyed their chemistry and it was just the ... Read More
Rating: - Not the Sequel You Might Expect
The premise: the heroine of this book can tell when people are lying and gets involved with the Arcane Society, which has existed as an organization for the psychically endowed for a long time. (It is a secret organization--the book is a contemporary and takes place in the "now".) The heroine is unusually strong, and soon she meets the hero, who is also unusually strong on the psychic scale. The two of them must work together to solve a huge family drama that becomes a lot more dangerous than anyone ... Read More
Rating:  - White Lies
Clare Lancaster is a parasensitive, but unlike most, she off the charts sensitive, and has the special ability to tell when someone is lying to her. This makes most people very uneasy because not even fellow parasensitives are able to escape her ability. When she finally meets her father Archer Glazebrooke that has been absent for her entire life, they have a very tenuous relationship. Unlike the rest of her new family, she and Elizabeth immediately connected. Clare even helped Elizabeth get out of ... Read More
