Dark Light is one of my favorite Jayne Castle Harmony stories. The main characters are great as are the side romances and minor characters, and best of all is The Curtain, with its reporting on Honeymooning in the Alien Temple of Love!
Yes, our heroine writes for The Curtain. She does solid reporting on real problems that her editor dresses up with aliens and sex and conspiracies and prints alongside articles about alien abductions and anal probes. It’s great!
Dark Light begins when Curtain reporter Sierra McIntyre interviews John Fontana, the new boss of the local guild. Sierra has reported on several guild-related scandals – including stories about former ghost hunters who are addicted to Juice or have disappeared – and Fontana believes she may have access to information about critical problems within his guild. His solution? Marriage! Fontana proposes they marry and work together to uncover what is really happening to the missing men, what’s behind the corruption Fontana and his friend Ray have discovered.
The minor characters are some of the best parts of Dark Light. Ray and Sierra’s fellow reporter Kay fall for each other (despite Kay’s Alien Temple of Love column); other curtain friends like Matt (the photographer who photographed the Alien Temple of Love, aka donuts and coffee pot), Sierra’s ghost hunter friends, and of course her dust bunny Elvis make the novel feel real and funny.
I highly recommend Dark Light if you enjoy romance or suspense with a paranormal/futuristic twist. My other favorite is After Dark, an excellent story that helps introduce the world of Harmony.
