After Dark

Ghost Hunters, Book 1

By: Jayne Castle

Narrated by: Joyce Bean

Life is tough these days for Lydia Smith, licensed para-archaeologist. Seriously stressed-out from a nasty incident in an alien tomb, she is obliged to work in Shrimpton's House of Ancient Horrors, a very low-budget museum. She has a plan to get her career back on track, but it isn't going well. Stuff keeps happening.

Take the dead body that she discovered in the sarcophagus exhibit. Who needed that? Finding out that her new client, Emmett London, is one of the most dangerous men in the city isn't helping matters either. And that's just today's list of setbacks. Here in the shadows of the Dead City of Old Cadence, things don't really heat up until After Dark.

FANTASTIC!!!

While I've read the book multiple times this was my first time listening to it. I absolutely love the word of Harmony with its dust bunnies. Come to think of it I'm pretty much a fan of all of this particular Jayne Castle world.

Easy to listen to and follow the story line

This a great read (listen to). The story line is easy to follow with mystery, suspense, and romance. Can't wait to listen to the next one

Fun "Out of this world" story!

Love this series! Great stand alones, so you can pretty much start on any book in the series.

Can't stand this narrator

I keep getting these Jayne Castle books in audio when I really can't tell whether they are good or not. The heroine sounds like s child, and the narrative is over the top.
I'll avoid this narrator in the future and maybe try a JC on Kindle. I do, after all, enjoy Amanda Quick and Jayne Ann Krentz in audio format

Fun listen.

Light listening and fun. The world is not wildly different from earth. The paranormal runs this world.

A great beginning

I have been listening to the harmony books for a while now, it was great to download After Dark and see where it all started.

Good book, fun Dustbunny

I admit it, I'm partial to Dustbunny characters. The one in this story is very useful and helps save lives and prevent serious injury. The people are good too. Story has a plot line about how a single past event can affect how people respond to the person in question.

Harmony is an interesting place...

This story was enjoyable. Luckily I had listened to another story located on Harmony, otherwise I might have been a bit lost at times. The lingo and story seemed to assume some knowledge. Otherwise I think the story did stand find mostly on it's own.

The fuzz ball pet cracked me up. I wish the fuzz balls in the corners of my house were so helpful in being a protector!

Personally, I was a bit turned off by the cover artwork and almost did not purchase this book. It might have been on sale, I'm not sure, but obviously I did look past the cover and found a pretty good story. Not one I'm in love with. In fact, while I was entertained during the story, I do not feel much interest in buying more books by this author, despite her obvious cleverness in creating such a unique world.

Too Much Romance for Me

I bought a bunch of paranormal books on Audible's big Halloween sale. I forgot that adult romances are big on sexual details. This story was fairly interesting inspite of the detailed sex. I guess I'll stick with YA for the most part from now on. I like more adventure with just a little romance on the side, rather than sex being the main event.

Classic Castle

I enjoy this series so much that I read it over and over again.
