Review: The Hot Zone – Jayne Castle

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….

It’s fitting that a dust bunny named Lyle saves Sedona and starts this book off, since dust bunnies are one of my all-time favorite things about this series. They are these cute fluffy creatures full of character and mischief, but they also have a saying about them, “by the time you see teeth, it’s too late”, they may be cute and fluffy but they can be sleek and deadly too.

Rainshadow is a unique island in a world full of wild and crazy happening and where all humans have extraordinary abilities. I really enjoy Sedona Snow, she’s spunky and capable of saving herself, but having Cyrus Jones around doesn’t hurt, especially since he doesn’t leave anyone behind. They’re wildly attracted to each other, and find themselves compatible in every way.

This was a great addition to the Harmony series, and probably one of my favorite from the Rainshadow spinoff. I loved the new things that were revealed and I can only hope to journey back into this world in the future, I love the unique and fun characters and want my very own dust bunny.

I highly recommend this for fans of the series, and I think even new readers could enjoy this tale from Ms. Castle.
