Omg this was one of the most poorly written pieces of trash I’ve ever read. It was like bad fan fiction based off of Kay Hoopers novels.

Such a delightful story. It’s Jayne Ann Krentz mark , the one that made me fall in love with her novels so many years ago.If you read her Arcane series, then you know what I’m talking about.

It’s full of suspense intertwined with mysteries and so many feelings that blooms between the characters. The felling that you know a person for a long time even if you just met her, the trust that you’re eager to give so easy, the butterflies of a new love and all the small paranormal suggestions, everything adds up for another must read from a long-time favourite author.

Reviewed for Wit and Sin

Magic and science make interesting bedfellows in All the Colors of the Night. Jayne Ann Krentz’s second Fogg Lake book delves further into her world of auras, light energy, psychics, and the obsessive quest for power and the ability to harness the paranormal.

North is a cleaner for the mysterious Foundation, but he’s losing his paranormal abilities. He can feel the clock counting down and isn’t sure what to do with himself once he goes psi-blind. But before his powers leave him he has to make a trip to the Pacific Northwest to find a way to save his father who was attacked because he found an artifact that traces back to a secret government program people would kill to learn more about. Sierra is a go-between who deals in the undergrown world of artifacts with psychic provenance. Together the two of them must solve the mystery of who attacked North’s father and why. I liked learning more about the Bluestone Project and the artifacts that came from it. I can’t say much because it’ll spoil the story but we delve deeper into the history of the project and the major players who may have developed light-based weapons.

Krentz weaves an engaging story with action that’s made all the more interesting by the paranormal elements at play. Sierra and North both have unique psychic gifts that aid them on their quest and I was fascinated by the way light, crystals, and auras are used in this story. North and Sierra have solid chemistry from the start so it was easy to see they’d make a good couple. They work well together in the way of many a Krentz hero and heroine so if you’ve been reading the author’s books for a long time you’ll fall into the rhythm pretty quickly. The romance moved at a steady pace over the course of the story but I did feel like it was a bit rushed at the very end.

All the Colors of the Night is the second book in the Fogg Lake series but Krentz provides enough information that you can jump in here if you would like to. And if you’re a fan of her Arcane Society series (written as Amanda Quick), you are sure to delight in the nods to that series. All the Colors of the Night doesn’t bring any surprises, but it’s a satisfying story nonetheless. I am looking forward to seeing how some of the questions left open are answered in the final Fogg Lake book.

This was an excellent second book in the Fogg Lake series. It starts with a bit a bang and sets up Sierra's situation from the start. It takes a little longer than usual for us to meet North, but it was lovely to encounter another Jones (have to re-read the Arcane books;). From the first moment the tension between North and Sierra is on the page and a lot of fun.
I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery. There were definitely a couple of twists I didn't see coming. I liked that both of them were on a journey to finding their calling and passion.
Jayne Ann Krentz has an easy to read voice that pulls you along the story and keeps you going until the end.
