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。

Lots to see here！I am hoping there will be more books in this series。Olivia and Harlan make an interesting if unlikely team。Harlan is a Rancourt， the son of the hated man who ran the Foundation like a mob。For five years the new leaders have been working hard to repair the damage he did to the Foundations reputation， with limited success。Olivia is a psychic detective， working with her friend， who is away on her honeymoon。Harlan meets with Lucas and Steven to propose an alliance in order to find t Lots to see here！I am hoping there will be more books in this series。Olivia and Harlan make an interesting if unlikely team。Harlan is a Rancourt， the son of the hated man who ran the Foundation like a mob。For five years the new leaders have been working hard to repair the damage he did to the Foundations reputation， with limited success。Olivia is a psychic detective， working with her friend， who is away on her honeymoon。Harlan meets with Lucas and Steven to propose an alliance in order to find the Vortex lab， and shut it down。That everything about Vortex is dangerous， is one thing they can all agree on。Just how dangerous， Harlan and Olivia will find out the hard way as the investigation gets closer to the answers they are searching for。They will find more than answers， they just might find the love of their lives！ If they can survive long enough！ 。。。more

Olivia LeClair has a camera that once belonged to her grandmother。Harlan Rancourt seeks out Olivia because he hopes that she can lead him where the Vortex project is located。A fast paced thriller/mystery， that fans of Krentz's stories will enjoy。 Olivia LeClair has a camera that once belonged to her grandmother。Harlan Rancourt seeks out Olivia because he hopes that she can lead him where the Vortex project is located。A fast paced thriller/mystery， that fans of Krentz's stories will enjoy。 。。。more

I'm a big fan of Jayne Ann Krentz。 This one did not engage me as most of hers do。 I was able to put it down at bedtime。 While the heroine had a great sense of humor and sarcasm which I enjoyed， the hero was too closed up to make the relationship seem realistic。 The first 2 books in this trilogy were more enjoyable for me。 I'm a big fan of Jayne Ann Krentz。 This one did not engage me as most of hers do。 I was able to put it down at bedtime。 While the heroine had a great sense of humor and sarcasm which I enjoyed， the hero was too closed up to make the relationship seem realistic。 The first 2 books in this trilogy were more enjoyable for me。 。。。more

3。5 - 4。0 ***Audible audio version。I've read or listened to so many Castle / Krentz / Quick books they all seem to run together。 This was a typical storyline。 Inquisitive smart heroine and protective hero with a past。 The mystery was on par with the other books in the series。 I do like that the author doesn't write angsty scenes just for the emotional effect。 There's no cheating， no great soul searching or emotional turmoil between the characters。 These are nice， easy stories with relatable char 3。5 - 4。0 ***Audible audio version。I've read or listened to so many Castle / Krentz / Quick books they all seem to run together。 This was a typical storyline。 Inquisitive smart heroine and protective hero with a past。 The mystery was on par with the other books in the series。 I do like that the author doesn't write angsty scenes just for the emotional effect。 There's no cheating， no great soul searching or emotional turmoil between the characters。 These are nice， easy stories with relatable characters。 。。。more

Olivia LeClair finds herself in the middle of the search for the mysterious Vortex lab when Harlan Rancourt shows up and insists， she’s the key to finding the location。 She can’t imagine how she’d be helpful， but when Harlan claims to have a lead on the murder of her mother and that it’s all tied up in the search for Vortex， she agrees to help。 Upon their first meeting it was obvious these two were a romance just waiting to happen。 Lightning in a Mirror is the third and final book in the Fogg La Olivia LeClair finds herself in the middle of the search for the mysterious Vortex lab when Harlan Rancourt shows up and insists， she’s the key to finding the location。 She can’t imagine how she’d be helpful， but when Harlan claims to have a lead on the murder of her mother and that it’s all tied up in the search for Vortex， she agrees to help。 Upon their first meeting it was obvious these two were a romance just waiting to happen。 Lightning in a Mirror is the third and final book in the Fogg Lake series， but I don’t think it’s completely necessary to read the previous books to enjoy it。 To be honest， I forgot a lot of the details， but it still was a fun and entertaining read。 Jayne Ann Krentz created an original， imaginative world。 As a result of past covert government experiments/research the inhabitants of Fogg Lake ended up with paranormal powers and these powers have passed down through subsequent generations。 Olivia is a private investigator， mainly employed by The Foundation， an agency that sort of polices the paranormal world， using her psychic abilities to assist her。 She grew up in Fogg Lake， a descendant of one of the Vortex lab workers， and so not only was she on Harlan’s radar， but also The Piper， a deranged murderer。 Why does The Piper need her and why does Harlan want to find the Vortex lab so urgently？ These are two of the mysteries at the heart of the story。 It was a fun mixture of action， romance， and danger。 I thought things wrapped up nicely， but also there’s a lot of threads that could be continued。 A copy was kindly provided by Berkley in exchange for an honest review。 。。。more
