North Chastain possesses a paranormal talent that gives him the ability to track down the most dangerous psychic criminals. When his father is attacked and falls into a coma, North is convinced it was caused by a deadly artifact traced back to the days of a secret government laboratory known only as the Bluestone Project. North knows his only hope of saving his father is to find the artifact. He is good when it comes to tracking down killers but to locate the relic, he's going to need help from someone who knows the shadowy world of obsessive collectors, deceptive dealers, and ruthless raiders…

With her reputation in ruins after a false accusation, antique expert Sierra Raines is looking for a fresh start. She turns to the murky backwaters of the paranormal artifacts trade, finding and transporting valuable objects with a psychic provenance. When North Chastain approaches her for help, Sierra takes him on as a client, though not without reservations. North represents the mysterious Foundation, the secretive organization established to police the underworld populated by psychic criminals and those, like Sierra, who make a living in the shadows of that world.

North and Sierra soon find themselves at the scene of The Incident that occurred decades ago in Fogg Lake. The town and its residents were forever changed by the disaster in the nearby Bluestone Project labs. The pair unearth shocking truths about what happened that fateful night, but they are playing with fire—someone in town knows what they’ve discovered and will do anything to make sure the secrets stay buried.

The second book in the Fogg Lake series continues the story of a small town permanently changed by an paranormal explosion in a secret government facility. North and Sierra are really good additions to the series, both strong and capable with fantastic chemistry. Their feelings for each other make sense. With the presence of some characters from previous Krentz titles, this title is definitely not a place to start, but it's a solid middle entry in the series.

Sierra Raines is a go-between whose job is to deliver paranormal artifacts from sellers to buyers. This is a new career for her; she has tried quite a number of careers in her search for her true calling. She's lucky she has a paranormal ability of her own because the collectors she works with are often paranoid and dangerous.

North Chastain has a paranormal talent of his own which he is gradually losing. He fears for his sanity. When his father is hit with some sort of paranormal device that is threatening his life, North needs Sierra to help him find the device in the hopes that it will also save his father's life.

The two face all sorts of dangers from people who don't want them to succeed in their search. While working together, they also fall in love which comes as a surprise to both of them since neither thought there was a possibility of that.

This story is the second in the Fogg Lake series but stands alone quite well. In fact, the story is part of a grouping of stories that are set in the same world though in different time periods Many characters in this book have larger roles in others in the grouping of books. 

I liked the witty dialog and banter between Sierra and North. The story was fast-paced and exciting.

I really enjoyed the characters in this latest offering from Jayne Ann Krentz. Struggled a bit to get into it, but it was worth sticking with it!

ALL THE COLORS OF NIGHT by Jayne Ann Krentz is the second book in the Fogg Lake paranormal romantic suspense series and is set in contemporary times in Washington state and Las Vegas, Nevada. What a fantastic read! I was hooked with the first sentence. Sierra Raines was falsely accused of a con when working for a big auction house. Now she functions as a go-between by finding and transporting objects with a psychic provenance. North Chastain has a paranormal ability to track down dangerous psychic criminals. When North’s father ends up in a coma, North hires Sierra to help him track down an artifact that might save his father. What caused the coma? Does an artifact exist that can save him? Will North and Sierra be able to work together? What will they find when they investigate the dark side of the paranormal world?

Sierra and North are fantastic, but flawed protagonists. Both are smart and have past histories that haunt them. Krentz does a great job of making them multidimensional showing change and growth as the novel progresses. This is a case where the protagonists balance each other well. The secondary characters play a definite backseat role in this book, but they enhanced the story without overwhelming it.

The world-building was clear and intricate; smoothly adding paranormal aspects to contemporary times. The plot was complex with lots of twists and turns and the stakes were high. The tension and action kept me fully engaged and made this a true page turner for me.
This is a riveting story with protagonists that I could relate to, like, and cheer on as their escapades became ever more dangerous.  Surprises along the way kept me guessing what would be uncovered in their journey together. Several themes run through the tale including family relationships and history, ethics, romance, murder, trust, mental health and much more. 

Overall, it was an exciting, suspenseful, fast-paced and unique story that I did not want to put down. The combination of action, suspense, danger, intrigue, chemistry, romance and more kept me fully engaged. The subplots tied together well, the main characters were strong, intelligent and loyal, and the action had my heart racing.  It does leave one subplot point unresolved which could be a thread in book three of the series. If you enjoy thrilling paranormal romantic suspense novels, then I highly recommend you check out this series. There is enough background that ALL THE COLORS OF NIGHT can be read as a standalone but I recommend reading them in order. I’m looking forward to book three.

Berkley Publishing Group provided a complimentary digital ARC of this novel via NetGalley and the opportunity to provide an honest review. Opinions are mine alone and are not biased in any way. Publication date is currently set for January 5, 2021. This review was originally posted at Mystery and Suspense Magazine.

So this is the second in the Fogg Lake Trilogy which deals with a town with psychic secrets. Sierra Raines is a disgraced antiques expert whose reputation is in tatters from a false accusation that now works for The Vault as a go between delivering artifacts with psychic provenance to collectors. North Chastain works for the Foundation using his paranormal talent to track down the most dangerous psychic criminals. When his father suddenly falls into a coma while tracking down an artifact belonging to his grandfather, he thinks it must have something to do with the secret government labs The Bluestone Project which his grandfather worked for.  He needs Sierra to help him since she has connections within the shadowy world of the artifacts trade. 

I was so excited when I got this arc because I really love Jayne Ann Krentz, all her pseudonyms and paranormal romance/mystery in general. I really loved the first novel and this one was just as good. I have read all her arcane society and harmony books which deals with all her characters having some kind of psychic ability. This was just really good and I loved the mystery and I liked the twist of who was actually the villain. I love the backstory with the Foundation and Vortex which is the holy grail of the underground labs that in each book they are getting closer and closer to finding out if it is real and where it is and who behind the renewed rumors about it existing. Just a really fast and great read and can’t wait to read the next one. 

Thanks to Berkley and Netgalley for the complimentary copy of this book in e-book form. All opinions in this review are my own.

Second in this series, someone has found a paranormal weapon, maybe from the old Fogg Lake labs and used it on North's father. He now has to track down the weapon and figure out how to reverse the damage to his father. Of course, the go-between assigned to him proves to be much more help than he anticipated (and much more interesting). A great addition to this series.

I'm a big fan of Jayne Ann Krentz and have been for years. Her PNR-based books are some of the best romantic fiction I've ever read. Her newest book ALL THE COLORS OF NIGHT (Fogg Lake #2) takes us back to the eery town to continue solving the puzzle of what happened there decades ago.

When North Chastain's father is attacked and put under some sort of psychic alter state, North begins investigating what happened he pair us with artifact go-between Sierra Raines to discover what a psychic artifact had to do with the issues with his father. This leaded them down a twisted road of stolen artifacts, a psychiatric institution, and missing people with psychic talents.

Sierra and North are both loners, thinking their psychic talents make them unmatchable. Since this is a JAK book, you know the two of them are perfectly matched, they just need to realize it..
Once they do this book becomes so much more than the hunt for killers and stolen artifacts.

5 well deserved stars to another winner from JAK.. Thanks Netgalley for the sneak peek of another great book.

Continuation of the paranormal mystery series.  North’s father is attacked with a psychic weapon so he seeks help from a treasure hunter go between. ARC from NetGalley.

Paranormal action packed fiction genre waltzes with suspense and collides into romance. What a delicious combination! It’s one of my fastest readings. 

The plot was riveting, intriguing, keeping you on your toes even though there are some holes, they were still tolerable. I mostly loved both of the MCs and their connection, chemistry, working as devoted partners. 

Sierra is badass, natural, smart woman who has been screwed over by authorities, needing to make a fresh start. North deals with his own troubled past, looking for a loyal team member, showing respect to Sierra, appreciating her talent from the beginning which earned him thousands of brownie points from the beginning. Yes, another candidate for best book boyfriend image! 

The plot seems like a little complex but when you get into it, you’ll see it’s fast paced, moving, easy to read. Let’s take a quick look: 

North Chastain is literally human- criminal tracker device: he has a unique ability to trace the most dangerous criminals and brings them to justice. After his father’s sudden falling into a coma, he realizes the main reason of his father’s fallout may be connected with deadly artifact which can be the production of very threatening secret government project called “Bluestone”. He needs to dig more but he needs an accomplice help him move at dark criminal world of traders, collectors, dealers. 

Sierra already suffers from the damage created by false accusations. As North is the member of Foundation, a secret organization hunting the psychic criminals and Sierra is so called criminal who is been wrongly accused by them. They should be enemies but their common benefits to bring justice and solve the mystery behind government’s dark schemes bring them together. 

As I said before it was enjoyable, easy, fast, unputdownable reading with good character development which earned my 3.5 stars rounded up to 4! 

This series is getting so much better at each book and I’m looking forward to read more of them in near future. 

Special thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing for providing me this riveting arc in exchange my honest thoughts.

All the Colors of the Night is the second in the Fogg Lake series, featuring a town with psychic secrets. It's seriously got everything that you could ever want from a romantic suspense: twists and turns, a multitude of people whom cannot be trusted, secret caves, mysterious fog, and a bad ass duo on the case. I'll tell you right now that I have never, ever guessed the ending to a Jayne Ann Krentz romantic suspense. She is so good at leading you along, making you believe that you know exactly where it's headed, only to rip the rug out from under you and turn your assumptions entirely on their heads.

Krentz heroines are always winners, but Sierra Raines is top notch. She a high-level psychic who doesn't need any man to protect her. She's sex-positive (none of the hemming and hawing of Krentz's early 90s heroines) and has no trouble speaking her mind. AND SHE USES THE BATHROOM. No joke. I know that's pretty rare for romance heroines, but I nearly did a spit take when she tells him, after their romantic night in a cave, that she needs to go out and go to the bathroom really quick. In the wild. It made me so happy to see that.

And North is an impeccable hero. He's saved time and time again by our heroine and never once does he feel emasculated by that fact. No, he feels grateful. He treats her as an equal and, so wonderfully, he has no problem voicing his feelings for her on a regular basis. He'll go down in the books as one of my favorite Krentz heroes.

I enjoyed this book, it was a book that kept my interest and had wonderful characters and an interesting storyline that kept me engaged throughout. While there were no surprises through the book it was still a wonderful read.

I had actually read The Vanishing, the first book in this planned trilogy, so it was cool to be able to get a copy of All the Colors of Night, which is the second book. Jayne Ann Krentz just has an amazing talent to create characters you care about and involve them in some page-turning adventures. She never fails, including here! Romantic, suspenseful and thought-provoking. I look forward to recommending this to readers.

This was an entertaining story with engaging main characters and the right touch of romance.  I enjoyed the dialogue between the main characters and the plot moved along and kept me invested.

Sierra is a strong character and really needs no rescuing,  which is appealing.  This book opens with action and stays the course of action pretty much throughout the book. The characters take familiar roles but Krentz is able to create a steady pace and keep things interesting.

Jayne Anne Krentz hits it again with All the Colors of the Night. This contemporary paranormal thriller has a plot that’s dangerous yet alluring. Krentz’s signature humor threads through the novel. The characters are appealing and sexy. We even get a small shout out to the Arcane Society! It is refreshing, quirky and well drawn. I would highly recommend this book to my patrons (though they’ll all be waiting with bated breath for this new release anyway).

If you're familiar with Jayne Ann Krentz's books, you'll enjoy jumping right into the world of the paranormal in this second book in the Fogg Lake series. Sierra is a "go-between" Vault agent who authenticates and transports paranormal artifacts to clients. It's a dangerous job but she's good at it, using her powers as needed. North has powers of his own, but they're failing so he hires Sierra to help him find out what happened to his father. I love the interaction between Sierra and North as they work together and learn to care for each other. Lots of suspense, a touch of romance, and a good mystery make this a great read. Highly recommended.

I started "All the Colors of Night" yesterday and just finished it. I loved it! I've read just about everything Jayne Ann Krentz has published and this book did not let me down. Fans of JAK will be very happy and the fans that loved the Arcane series will be even happier. Even though it was very minor, I love the Jones references. Sierra and North were a great couple and I liked the trust they had in each other.

As a regular reader of JAK, I will admit that at the beginning of the book I was slightly disappointed with descriptions of some of the paranormal powers and issues from those powers that both the heroine and hero have/face.  Sensitivity to touch and night vision/special glasses have already appeared in previous books from the Arcane series.  However, as the book progressed, there were enough twists and turns that made those issues disappear for me.  

This book is quick read.  I felt that the characters and plot were more fleshed out than the first book in the Fogg Lake series.  And I wonder, with at least two Joneses named in this book whether there will be some kind of tie in to the Arcane series in the future.

Overall, it's another winner.

2nd Fogg Lake book and it is great. Loved the characters and the storyline. Each chapter makes you want to go on to the next one until it all comes together with a satisfying ending. Hope book #3 gets here soon.

Krentz's longevity as a high-demand author lies in large part to her ability to flex and freshen without leaving behind the immense corpus of her work that has won her millions of readers.

This new series, Fogg Lake, illustrates the integration of her past writing traits with new and fresh approaches to those traits. The two books in the series are tightly crafted, generally cohesive, and display stronger writing than her previous books, in my opinion.

For me, there is nothing better than a free Friday night and a new Krentz book. This second in the series continues the strong entries in the Krentz offerings. These are fun, undemanding, and entertaining.

Thanks to NetGalley and Berkley Publishing Group for the advance readers' copy. This title is set to publish early January, 2021.
