In Too Deep
Book One of the Looking Glass Trilogy
An Arcane Society Novel - Book #10
By Jayne Ann Krentz

Jayne Ann Krentz continues writing the Arcane Series and has taken "In Too Deep" to give the character, Fallon Jones, more depth. Fallon Jones is the head of the Jones and Jones Paranormal Detective Agency and a member of the socially prominent Jones family who control the Arcane Society. Regularly a recluse, he has paranormal ability to see strategies and connect situations. To many in the Arcane society, he is a conspiracy theorist and sees danger where there is none.

In many of the Arcane Society series early books, Fallon Jones is a abrupt voice on the phone who lacks basic social skills. He has worked alone because he couldn't figure out to delegate and allow someone else intrusion into this life.

Enter Isabella Valdez. She's funny, witty, and the perfect partner for Fallon. The story gives a good look into the ongoing issues with the Arcane Series. It can stand alone for those who are not fans. But having a passing knowledge of the series led me to a better reading experience.



The blurb for the book - Scargill Cove is the perfect place for Fallon Jones, confirmed recluse and investigator of the paranormal. Its a hot spot, a convergence point for unusually strong currents of energy, which might explain why the town attracts misfits and drifters like moths to a flame. Now someone else has been drawn to the Cove Isabella Valdez, on the run from some very dangerous men.

When she starts working as Fallons assistant, Isabella impresses him by organizing his
pathologically chaotic office and doesnt bat an eye at the psychic element of his job. Shes a kindred spirit, a sanctuary from a world that considers his talents a form of madness. But after a routine case unearths an antique clock infused with dark energy, Fallon and Isabella are dragged into the secret history of Scargill Cove and forced to fight for their lives, as they unravel a cutthroat conspiracy with roots in the Jones family business...and Isabellas family tree.
