  • ) from the
  • New York Times
  • bestselling master of passion and the paranormal.
  • Within the pages of very rare books some centuries old lie the secrets of the paranormal. Abby Radwell’s unusual psychic talent has made her an expert in such volumes—and has sometimes taken her into dangerous territory. After a deadly incident in the private library of an obsessive collector, Abby receives a blackmail threat, and rumors swirl that an old alchemical text known as The Keyhas reappeared on the black market. Convinced that she needs an investigator who can also play bodyguard, she hires Sam Coppersmith, a specialist in paranormal crystals and amber—“hot rocks.” Passion flares immediately between them, but neither entirely trusts the other. When it comes to dealing with a killer who has paranormal abilities, and a blackmailer who will stop at nothing to obtain an ancient alchemical code, no one is safe.

Sizzle, Burn and Fizzle.

Jayne Ann Krantz's "Copper Beach" is a paranormal tale of a hunt for a psy-infused book. Abby Radwell has been shunned and alienated by her family for years because of her belief that she has some psychic abilities/talents. Deemed "crazy" and sent to live in a home for troubled teens, she had spent most of her life hiding her talents, vowing to only dealing with those referred to her as clients. So when someone starts blackmailing her she decides to hire Sam Coppersmith, a PI. Her blackmailers wants her to locate a book that can only be opened using her special ability to unlock encrypted texts/books. Sam proves quite the partner, especially when she learns that he has just as much to lose if the book falls into the wrong hands. His goal is to locate the book (for his family), protect Abby and discovery the truth. What she wasn't prepared for or expected was the irresistible pull that she feels between them, which results in an increase or heightening in both of their powers. As the body count rises, so too does the realization that they have to learn to trust each other.

To me, this is a typical Krantz novel. There was nothing new or original...you have some paranormal happenings, a mystical object, a dysfunctional family, a romance (love or sex at first sight), some unusual deaths (paranormally caused) and an "ok" mystery. For those who enjoy Krantz, they will probably enjoy it.

Excellent read!

I always know even before I start a book by Jane Ann Kenya that I am going to love it ! I am never disappointed. I have read all of her books...most when they were first published I am now in the process of re reading her older stories.Copper Beach is the beginning of a two or three book series. Very good read !

Copper Beach

Jayne Ann Krentz is still one of the best authors I know. Copper Beach finds Sam Coppersmith trying to protect Abby, an expert at unlocking books that been locked psychically. She has received threats and been referred to Sam by a friend. They are attracted to each other from the beginning. Abby is determined to keep things professional as they search for a missing book and try to solve a mystery. Sam is just as determined to get Abby to accept him as more than a bodyguard. They work well together to reach their goals. There are some family issues and a surprise at the end that was not a surprise to me. The action is good. The passion is good. The writing and plot are good. This book is a wonderful romantic suspense with a paranormal blend.

Love the series!

I love this author; she delivers in that the characters from past novels are brought forward and expanded upon during her story. I love a good series where I can sink my teeth into it and just escape from life for awhile and relax in her story.....

She consistently delivers a good read for me when I need to escape from life. I love the concept of the paranormal.

This series continues on where the other older series have left off. I love that a high tech lab which is on an island off the coast of Seattle or thereabouts can exist with high technology. I love the high tech world that they introduce along with the concept of the forbidden catacombs that lie beneath the surface that the aliens have forged.

A very good read; I love the paranormal! A great Escape!
