When
a night on the town with friends goes horribly wrong, Victor finds himself
literally at death’s door. Not sure how
he will get back to normal, Victor follows the advice given to him by one of
his nurses and heads out of town. He’s
not looking for anything special, just some time to find the person he used to
be. What he finds instead, will change
his life.
Equinox, the first book in the new series, Secrets of Salem, is a well done story
that pulled me in from the first page. Victor
is recovering from a life altering event.
When readers find out what happened, they will be shocked yet able to
understand why Victor needs a calming place to stay for a while. Rayne owns a shop in Salem and happens to be more than what he
appears. There is a lightness to Rayne
that is just what Victor needs. The
attraction between the two men is strong and builds quickly.
I
liked the way and pace that the men’s relationship moved and did not feel short
changed in any way. It’s something that I don’t always find to be true in
novellas. The author also does an excellent job with the world building in this
story, as well, and I found myself curious about the other residents of Salem .
There
are a few secondary characters, of which Rayne’s parents are two. These two are something else, especially his
mother. There is some conflict which is
easily handled and the main characters do find their happily ever after. While I am curious about who will show up in
the next stories, I would love to see Victor and Rayne again. Readers of the paranormal sub-genre are sure
to love this new story by Jace Payne and, for those who have not yet tried this
author, it is a good book to start with.
