The world of Harmony has its wonders, one of them being Rainshadow Island. Just beneath its surface, a maze of catacombs hides a dangerous secret….

Halloween - with its tricks and treats - is a dust bunny's dream come true. Just ask Lyle, Sedona Snow's faithful sidekick. But for Sedona, it's a nightmare. Though her new job managing a small hotel and tavern on Rainshadow is helping her move on from her tragic past, a bizarre disaster down in the catacombs has brought a pack of rowdy ghost hunters to her inn. And now, Sedona's ex has arrived on the island, claiming he wants to get back together, just as a newcomer appears to have a strong interest in her. Cyrus Jones is the new Guild boss in town. He has his own agenda when it comes to Sedona, but even the best-laid plans are no match for the passion that springs up on Rainshadow.…

Cyrus Jones and Sedona Snow are two of my favorite characters in the Harmony and Rain Shadow tales. Barbara Rosenblatt does a wonderful job of bringing them to life. Ms. Rosenblat remains one of my favorite narrators. She's able to make the men sound macho and the women sound sexy. It's always disappointing when the narrator has to struggle to make the men sound masculine and the women sound feminine without sounding like they're still in high school. Thank you Barbara.

Always a Fun Read

Jayne Castle seemingly effortlessly balances strong female characters with crazy sexy alpha male characters. Throw in a dust bunny and I’m hooked. Thanks Jayne. Please write more.

Would you consider the audio edition of The Hot Zone to be better than the print version?

Like previous reviews this is Jayne Castle as her best, but the narrators 10 pack a day smokers voice just about ruins it. Most of the time the narrators voice sounds so masculine that you really have to listen carefully as to what parts are being read, if it's the female role or the male role. As for the story its self Jayne Castle once again hits it out of the ball park with another great Rainshadow tale. You get to visit all the previous characters along with learning the story of Sedona Snow and Cyrus Jones. Overall this is a great book and I highly suggest skipping the audio book and go straight to reading this one.

Good book, but...

Would you listen to The Hot Zone again? Why?

I am enjoying the Rainshadow series. Some of the offerings have been a bit subpar, but this one was good. A bit more attention to individualizing the books could be considered. I am getting the feeling of "lick and promise" to meet publishing deadlines.

Perhaps a writing vacation could be considered even though I look forward to the books. They are a good diversion from reality. I want to keep anticipating them and not be disappointed when they appear.

A good addition to the series

This is my favorite Rainshadow book. Fun and snarky dialogue from interesting characters with action. And, Barbara is my favorite reader / actress!!!

Great!

Thrilling, romantic, adventure, kick butt! This was an amazing piece of work! The summary doesn’t do it justice, I am so glad I ended up reading it.

Couldn’t “set it down”!
