The Third Circle

Arcane Society, Book 4

De: Amanda Quick

Narrado por: Islay Jacobs

New York Times bestselling author Amanda Quick presents an Arcane Society novel that reveals the passionate—and paranormal—secrets of proper Victorian London.

Attempting to recover a relic stolen from her family years ago, gifted crystal worker Leona Hewitt secretly makes her way into Lord Delbridge's private museum. But who she finds there is more entrancing than the crystal she seeks.

Thaddeus Ware is a mesmerist with powerful psychic energy—that doesn't seem to be affecting the woman before him. Instead, Leona seems to exert a rather hypnotic power over the hypnotist himself. After she gives him the slip, absconding with the crystal they recovered, Thaddeus fears for her safety. For he is on assignment for the secretive Arcane Society and knows that the crystal holds the potential for great destruction. It is the key to Lord Delbridge's membership in a shadowy group known as the Third Circle. The nobleman killed before to acquire the crystal, and Thaddeus has no doubt that he will kill again.

The characters are good

The book is good but not great. I would still listen to the authors books.

Great!

I was nervous about the ending after reading other reviews, but I didn't feel the ending was clipped. this story follows other similar paths of Jayne Ann/Amanda's other stories. I found the story delightful and full of twists and turns. I have only been listening to books released on Audible and am fairly new to this author, so I've loved having the earlier books in the series available. These books fill in some gaps and make the later books that much more enjoyable. LOVE the narrator!

Excellent!

I love how JAK always ties up all the loose ends and leaves me wanting more!

Leona and her Aurora Stone.

I liked the spirit shown by Leona throughout. I also liked that the miscreants for the most part got their just desserts. This story moves right along so don't plan to put it down for long.

A word of warning, however, there is some explicit sex. If you don't want to hear such then fast forward through it or don't start. It might be easier to skip past the sex in a book or ebook.

Riveting story.

Great story, and awesome narrator. I really enjoy these historical romances that also are infused with people that have psychical talents. Leave it to Amanda Quick to keep it interesting. So glad to hear from the Arcane Society again. I was also happy to see that Gabe and Venetia are doing well. I loved their story too. In addition, the dog called "Fog" was adorable. And, I really thought Aunt Victoria was sweet. Bravo! Now we need a story for Caleb.

Great Story!

Not my favorite narrator but not bad and I got used to it by the end on the book.

Incomplete ending

The ending was abrupt and incomplete. I've read this story in the past and if I remember correctly the ending was better. Here they r having sex - no mention was made about getting pregnant and getting married. Seduction the book was really disappointing. I've read the authors books over and over. I was so disappointed in both books.
