We are back on Harmony with It Takes A Psychic by Jayne Castle. This is the eleventh book in the Harmony series & seventeenth in the Guild Hunter series, but each book stands on its own. If you like off planet romantic suspense, paranormal activities and cute dust bunnies, you’ll want to grab this one!

Two unlikely allies search for the secrets of their pasts while on the run within the Alien world of Harmony in the thrilling new novel by New York Times bestselling author Jayne Castle.

Leona Griffin is at the height of her career as a para-archeologist thanks to a recent Underworld discovery. Her high profile attracts the attention of an organization of elite, secretive collectors. They want her to authenticate the artifacts that aspiring members submit as evidence to join their group. The ceremony takes place at a glittering reception where Leona is shocked to discover that one of the relics is a powerful Old-World object known as Pandora’s Box. But she’s not the only one interested in that artifact.

Oliver Rancourt, a man with a unique talent—they say you never see him coming—is also there. Leona knows she must not underestimate him. Attempting to make a discreet exit, she stumbles over the body of a waiter wearing the emblem of a dangerous cult. Before she can alert authorities, a police raid sends the reception into chaos. To avoid being arrested, Leona slips away with Oliver—a risky decision that gets her fired.

Now forced to work together, Leona and Oliver pursue an investigation that leads them to the town of Lost Creek where the locals are obsessed with a chilling legend involving a long-dead cult leader and illicit paranormal experiments. But Leona knows the real danger may be the irresistible attraction between herself and Oliver.

I love spending time on Harmony. Harmony is full of Earth settlers when a door opened between worlds. That door has since closed and the people on Harmony live with alien artifacts left behind by previous colonizers. Some humans have psychic abilities and can tune and work with the amber left behind. Oh, and did I mention there are cute dust bunnies who can be very scary when needed and adorable when befriended?

Leona Griffin is a para-archeologist who has been asked by an elite group of collectors to authenticate objects. She is shocked to discover they have a powerful Old-World relic known as Pandora’s Box. But she’s not the only one interested in that artifact. The tale that unfolds was suspenseful, swoon-worthy and full of danger as Leona finds herself teamed up with Oliver Rancourt, a man with a unique talent as their investigation leads them to a strange cult.

The world Castle has created which got its origins in Krentz’s Arcane Society. Both Griffin and Rancourt are high-ability psychics, something they keep hidden from the rest of society. I loved their interactions and the sizzling chemistry these two had. The two end up in Lost Creek with Leona’s adorable dust bunny, Roxy. Lost Creek is a town obsessed with a cult leader who is dead but prophesied to return.

It Takes A Psychic, delivered a suspenseful, fast-paced paranormal romantic suspense with characters I was rooting for and an intense mystery. Castle is an auto-buy for me and I devoured this one!
