Summary
The final installment in the chilling Fogg Lake trilogy by New York Times bestselling author Jayne Ann Krentz。
Olivia LeClair's experiment with speed dating is not going well。 First there was the nasty encounter with the date from hell who tried to murder her and now the mysterious Harlan Rancourt—long believed dead—sits down at her table and tells her she's the only one who can help him locate the legendary Vortex lab。
This is not what Olivia had in mind when she signed up for the Four Event Success Guaranteed package offered by the dating agency。 She doesn't have much choice， though， because her psychic investigation firm works for the mysterious Foundation and Victor Arganbright， the director， is adamant that she assist Harlan。 There's just one problem—no one knows Harlan's real agenda。 His father once ran the Foundation like a mob organization， and Harlan was destined to be his heir。 There's a real possibility Harlan has returned to claim his inheritance。
For now， however， it's a case of the enemy of my enemy is my friend because others are after the secrets of the long-lost lab。 Unfortunately for Olivia， the one thing friend and foe have in common is that everyone is convinced she is the key。 Her unique psychic talent is required to defuse the ticking time bomb that is Vortex。
Neither trusts the other but Olivia and Harlan soon realize they must work together to survive and unlock the Bluestone Project's most dangerous secrets before more innocent people die。

4 stars。So this third instalment of the Fogg Lake series features Olivia， one of the partners of the Psychic Investigation Agency working in Seattle for the Foundation。 Our hero is Harlan Rancourt， the presumed dead heir of the previous Foundation boss。 Of course both have major psychic talents with Harlan needing Olivia's help to find the Vortex lab （mentioned in the previous books） and Olivia wanting to find her mother's killer。 I liked that JAK brought Fallon Jones back into the picture towar 4 stars。So this third instalment of the Fogg Lake series features Olivia， one of the partners of the Psychic Investigation Agency working in Seattle for the Foundation。 Our hero is Harlan Rancourt， the presumed dead heir of the previous Foundation boss。 Of course both have major psychic talents with Harlan needing Olivia's help to find the Vortex lab （mentioned in the previous books） and Olivia wanting to find her mother's killer。 I liked that JAK brought Fallon Jones back into the picture towards the end there。 I'm interested to find how the Foundation and the Arcane Society will work together？ 。。。more

The End？This is supposed to be the last book in this trilogy， but Ms Krenz left enough dangling plot threads to start another。 It’s going to be interesting to find out if the descendants in this series show up on Harmony， or maybe some ancestors show up in Burning Cove or in Victorian England。

Lightning in a Mirror is the third book in the Fogg Lake series by Jayne Ann Krentz。 A paranormal romantic suspense that is full of mystery and the fear of the unknown。 The suspense and danger build slowly， letting you learn more about the lab， the man running it and why he needs Olivia。 The story pulled me in from the beginning and held me captive with all the twists and turns which allowed the outside world to slip away。

Immersive。 Compelling。 Addictive。 Those are the first three words that came to mind as I sat down to record my thoughts about Lightning in a Mirror， the third and final book in Jayne Ann Krentz's Fogg Lake Trilogy。 As with the first two books in the trilogy， Lightning in a Mirror engaged my interest right from the start and then quickly engaged my emotions as well。 Krentz's characters are complex， intriguing， and fully developed。 They could be anyone you meet on the street except， of course， for Immersive。 Compelling。 Addictive。 Those are the first three words that came to mind as I sat down to record my thoughts about Lightning in a Mirror， the third and final book in Jayne Ann Krentz's Fogg Lake Trilogy。 As with the first two books in the trilogy， Lightning in a Mirror engaged my interest right from the start and then quickly engaged my emotions as well。 Krentz's characters are complex， intriguing， and fully developed。 They could be anyone you meet on the street except， of course， for their finely-tuned psychic talents。 It's those talents that make them unique， highly sought after， and in some cases， very， very dangerous。 What makes this story so addictive is the same thing that also makes it so compelling: the author's ability to create a world where paranormal talent is plausible。 When I read a vampire story， I'm fully aware that what I'm reading is fiction。 But when I spend time with Krentz's characters， the prevailing thought in my mind is that their abilities， and the dangerous situations they could lead to， are within the realm of possibility。 At least， possibilities that I'm willing to be open to。 The world within our present world that she has created is so vividly and realistically portrayed that I become completely immersed in it， watching it unfold across my mind as if I was sitting in a darkened theater， seeing it play out on a huge screen。 I believe in that world。 Once I began reading， there was no way I was going to be able to put this book down until I reached the end。 I had to know what was going to happen on the next page。。。and the next。。。and the next。 I cared about Olivia， her search for her mother's killer， and her stubborn resistance to her psychic destiny。 I cared about Harlan and， believe me， after reading the entire trilogy， that came as a big surprise。 And that wasn't the only surprise Krentz had in store for readers。 I love it when an author keeps me on my toes with a variety of twists， turns， and unexpected detours。 From start to finish， I was excited to discover what would happen next。 This thrilling conclusion to the Fogg Lake Trilogy was all I could have asked for。 I can't wait to find out what Krentz has in store for readers next。 Each of the books in this trilogy can stand on its own but there is an overarching story that runs through all three books。 For maximum enjoyment， I recommend reading the three books in order: The Vanishing， All the Colors of Night， and Lightning in a Mirror。 *ARC received for fair and unbiased review 。。。more

Another excellent read from Jayne Ann KrantzLove the final installment of the Fogg Lake books。 Olivia and Harlan have great chemistry。 Ms。 Krentz does not disappoint， with her clever dialogues and twists and turns In her plot。 Interestingly enough there are some intriguing threads left dangling for the reader。 Why was the wider world of the paranormal introduced？ Might we revisit some of these characters later on？ Could there be a crossover， or spin-off？

Jayne Ann Krentz wraps up her Fogg Lake Trilogy （The Vanishing， All the Colors of the Night） with a thriller in Lightning in a Mirror。 Harlan Rancourt is a powerful talent who passes as nondescript while hunting the monsters of the psychic world。 Having disappeared for five years， he's back to help shut down the mysterious Vortex labs- but he's convinced he needs Olivia LeCLair to do that。 Private investigator and aura reader， Olivia isn't sure what to make of Harlan， but he's promised to help f Jayne Ann Krentz wraps up her Fogg Lake Trilogy （The Vanishing， All the Colors of the Night） with a thriller in Lightning in a Mirror。 Harlan Rancourt is a powerful talent who passes as nondescript while hunting the monsters of the psychic world。 Having disappeared for five years， he's back to help shut down the mysterious Vortex labs- but he's convinced he needs Olivia LeCLair to do that。 Private investigator and aura reader， Olivia isn't sure what to make of Harlan， but he's promised to help find her mother's killer so she's willing to help。 A series of kidnapping attempts makes it personal。 Clearly many people believe Olivia is the key to to secret Vortex labs， even though Olivia herself doesn't。 In a race against time Harlan and Olivia must work together to stop a dangerous psychic secret and the people who want to control it before innocent people die。Olivia is a classic modern woman- tough enough to handle being bait for a serial killer， trying to find the efficient way to weed out the dating losers， and thinking a cat may be the better option when she meets Harlan。 He's a bit of a challenge， a bit of a pain in the neck， and a bit clueless in social situations- but exactly the right guy to have at your side when people try to kidnap you or kill you。 When he doesn't bother giving her the 'everything will be ok' line after an explosion， she thinks he might have potential。 A forthright heroine， a strong-when-working-slightly-unsure-otherwise hero， many spinning plots within plots to get to the center of the conspiracy- this is a plot and character Krentz ties together well and will satisfy all。Lightning in a Mirror is fast paced and action packed， with plenty of Krentz's dry wit and one liners。 Readers new to her books won't need to have read the rest of the series， although it does help。 Long time readers will be glad to get a few Easter eggs dropped along the way， particularly at the end as Harlan convinces Victor and Lucas of the Foundation that they should work more with other secretive psychic organizations out there， like a certain Jones & Jones agency 。 。 。 。。。more

Lightning in a Mirror by Jayne Ann Krentz is the 3rd and final book in her wonderful Fogg Lake series。 Refresher: 40 years ago， in the small town of Fogg Lake， an explosion caused various paranormal effects on many of the residents; such as visions， auras and other unique abilities。 The community kept to itself， not revealing anything about those strange effects; leaving the town bare of updated mechanics， such as Wi-Fi， computers， cell phones， as the dense fog blocked those signals。Olivia LeCla Lightning in a Mirror by Jayne Ann Krentz is the 3rd and final book in her wonderful Fogg Lake series。 Refresher: 40 years ago， in the small town of Fogg Lake， an explosion caused various paranormal effects on many of the residents; such as visions， auras and other unique abilities。 The community kept to itself， not revealing anything about those strange effects; leaving the town bare of updated mechanics， such as Wi-Fi， computers， cell phones， as the dense fog blocked those signals。Olivia LeClair， our heroine， is a private investigator with her best friend， Catalina; they both lived in Fogg Lake when they were younger; she has a psychic gift of reading aura’s。 Olivia takes part of a speed dating， which originally failed when the person tried to kill her; but now she attends the event， and asks a weird question to each person she meets “If I disappeared tomorrow would you walk into to hell to find me？ Only one person answered back correctly， saying he would walk into hell， because he has been there。Harlan Rancourt， our hero， has been presumed dead， until he shows up years later， at The Foundation run by Victor Arganbright and Lucas Pine。 After his father （the original founders of the Foundation） died in the explosion years ago， Harlan now returns to convince the Foundation to help him find an oracle， whom he feels will lead to discovering where the legendary Vortex Lab is。 Arganbright agrees to work with him and suggests to use Olivia， who is one of the best。 She is not sure that she can trust Harland， but agrees to work together， especially since he assures her that he will find her mother’s killer。 They are both powerful talents in the psychic world， with her seeing his aura and knowing how dangerous it was， even with his ability to hide it， and she also being an excellent private investigator。I loved Olivia， her smarts， savvy， confidence， fearlessness， as she made a fantastic heroine。 I also like Harlan， and in a short time， we can see the chemistry between them heat up。 I really got a kick out of the car scene， which was very funny。What follows is an exciting， intense， action filled adventure， with some twists and turns。 From start to finish， the story keeps us unable to put the book down， in this journey filled with romance， suspense and danger。 Olivia and Harlan were a wonderful couple and made a great team; there were some excellent secondary characters， as well as evil villains。 To tell too much more would be spoilers。Lightning in a Mirror is an exciting， intense， suspenseful thriller， with supernatural elements。 Jayne Ann Krentz gives us a wonderful conclusion to this series。 If you enjoy suspense mysteries， great couple and a dose of supernatural， you should be reading this series。BarbThe Reading Cafe 。。。more

I’ve loved the other two books in the Fogg Lake series and was so excited to see how it would end， particularly because I couldn’t wait for Olivia’s story。 While Lightning in a Mirror was still a good story， I would say that it was unfortunately also the weakest one in the series。 There were so many threads surrounding both Harlan and Vortex that needed to be wrapped up， and the second half of the story felt incredibly rushed。 It took me a bit to warm up to the romance， but I eventually really l I’ve loved the other two books in the Fogg Lake series and was so excited to see how it would end， particularly because I couldn’t wait for Olivia’s story。 While Lightning in a Mirror was still a good story， I would say that it was unfortunately also the weakest one in the series。 There were so many threads surrounding both Harlan and Vortex that needed to be wrapped up， and the second half of the story felt incredibly rushed。 It took me a bit to warm up to the romance， but I eventually really liked Olivia and Harlan together。 This one is also a little heavier on the world-building explanations than the previous two， which surprised me a bit because everything was woven so naturally into the story in the first two installments。I did like how the story wrapped up， but it felt like it could have been amazing if certain parts were expanded on more。 The door is left wide open for future series though， so I hope to see Krentz explore some of the threads that were left dangling。 But overall， Fogg Lake is a great paranormal romance series and I would definitely recommend it if you’re a fan of the genre！ I’ve started diving into Krentz’s back catalogue， and am looking forward to reading more books from her in the future as well。 *Disclaimer: I received an advance digital copy of this book for free from the publisher。 This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review。 。。。more

I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads。This is the final instalment in the Fogg Lake Trilogy。 Tracking down the location of the Vortex Lab is at the centre of the story but for our heroine Olivia， this also means finding her mother’s killer。 Harlan Rancourt， our hero， needs Olivia’s help to locate the lab and I found him interesting because he wasn’t what everyone expected him to be。 Olivia naad Harlan fit well together。 The attraction between them grew over time I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads。This is the final instalment in the Fogg Lake Trilogy。 Tracking down the location of the Vortex Lab is at the centre of the story but for our heroine Olivia， this also means finding her mother’s killer。 Harlan Rancourt， our hero， needs Olivia’s help to locate the lab and I found him interesting because he wasn’t what everyone expected him to be。 Olivia naad Harlan fit well together。 The attraction between them grew over time and in the background。 I like that they dealt with their feelings like the intelligent adults that they are。Lightning in a Mirror is a well paced story。 It moves fast but not so fast that you can’t keep up with what is going on。 And it is a little complicated but still easy enough to follow。 This was a story I was able to read a few chapters of， put it down to attend to life and then happily come back to the book and pick up right where I left off and feel like I hadn’t left at all。Lightning in the Mirror is a really enjoyable paranormal mystery/romance and it wrapped up the trilogy well。 If you are someone like me that rarely reads paranormal romance or if you are looking to give the genre a go， I’d definitely recommend Lightning in a Mirror and the Fogg Lake series。 。。。more
