Review:Until she receives the single red rose, Kimberly Sawyer had no intention of calling Darius Cavenaugh. Actually, it isn't the rose so much that prompts Kimberly to contact him as the needle hidden inside it. This is the first clue that the people running around in monk's robes with silver daggers are serious, and Darius is not taking any chances with Kimberly's safety. The next thing Kimberly knows, she has been whisked away to Darius' Napa Valley winery with nothing to worry about except how to finish her latest book. Kim could only see one potential problem with calling in a favor from Darius. As a writer, she is used to telling her characters exactly what to do, but when it comes to their relationship, Darius isn't taking orders from anyone but himself. With its beguiling blend of snappy dialogue, sharply delineated characters, and unfailing suspense, this classic Krentz, available in hardcover for the first time, is a guaranteed winner. --Booklist, 1st June 2010

Many societies, particularly during the medieval period, believed that witches made pacts with the devil and used their supernatural powers to harm others.

I couldn't get through more than a few chapters of "Witchcraft Jayne and The Krwntz". The plot was confusing and all over the place, with no clear direction or focus. The characters were poorly developed and their actions often felt unbelievable. The dialogue was also awkward and unnatural. I would not recommend this book to anyone.
