Santino Bellomi and his coworker, Cam, are sent to Cassadaga, Florida by the Aspida Pneuma, a group of psychics and mages. Their job is to rescue a nixie from a polluted lake and to check out the town, which is known for its psychics. New recruits to the Aspida are always welcome and where better than a spiritualist camp to hunt for them? What Santino wants most, however,

The premise of this book sounded interesting and I really wanted to like it. I love books that focus on the supernatural world. But that’s not really what this book was about, it was about dating. Geeky, awkward dating and Florida’s terrible heat.
So much of the book was spent on Santino and Ryan getting to know each other that anything supernatural was just hamfisted on a few pages here or there to remind the reader what the book is supposed to be about. But nothing of substance really happened. ...more

Sexy psychics and steamy romance in the sweltering heat of Florida. I enjoyed the story it was fast-paced and interesting.
Overall an enjoyable story. The characters were engaging and the storyline was interesting enough that I'm hoping for more.

A fascinating premise that could serve as an amazing series starter, but with some plot and pacing issues
There are many things I enjoyed about this book. The whole idea of Cassadaga (which I didn't know about but apparently it really is known as the "Psychic Capital of the World") and the abilities of people there was fascinating. The idea of Aspida Pneuma (had to chuckle a bit on the use of Greek there) as a secret organization/supernatural police was also fascinating: I wanted to learn more ab ...more

Ryan Doyle is a psychic in a long line of them--his mother was renown in the field and his sister has the gift, and resents that Ryan does as well. Ryan mentors younger or newer psychics, using his gifts to help them gain control of theirs, but he's feeling a little melancholy about his life. Cassadaga, Florida is a a sheltered community and he rarely has and social engagements--of the romantic kind.

I was really intrigued by the premise of this book. The story follows Ryan Dole, a genuine psychic who comes from a family of psychics and makes a living doing readings for others. Ryan lives in the town of Cassadaga, a small unincorporated community in central Florida, which is a real place known for having many psychics and mediums. It’s even been called “the Psychic Capital of the World.”

I enjoyed this story and not just because I love reading about psychic powers. I thought the set up and world building was very nicely done, and I liked how the author incorporated mythology into her world building, yet gave it an original twist.
Ryan and Santino are wonderfully geeky, and I liked them as characters both separately and as a couple. I loved the Doctor Who and anime references and thought their scenes together were very sweet. I’m hoping we haven’t seen the last of them, especiall ...more

Cassadada, Florida is famous for being full of psychics. Tourists flock there, and so has Santino, a psychic himself who works for the mysterious Aspida. When Santino meets Ryan, a fellow psychic, sparks fly immediately. As they juggle dating, secrets, and a powerful supernatural force set loose on the town, both must decide what, and who, their futures hold.
This was a quick read full of fun characters, and I especially enjoyed Santino and Ryan. They are both delightfully self-described geeks, w ...more

Como dije, es un libro corto que se lee en poco tiempo. Me gustó el inicio, cómo los personajes se hacen querer, y otros no tanto, en poco tiempo. La puesta en escena es bastante rápida y nos enteramos en el acto de qué está pasando en este pueblo. El ritmo rápido trabaja muy bien este aspecto, por lo que me sumergí en la lectura prácticamente desde la primera pagina.

I received a copy of Cassadaga Nights by Jana Denardo via IndiGo Marketing & Design in exchange for an honest review. What are the odds of picking up two books in one day that both talk about the small town of Lily Dale. If nothing else, that confirmed for me this was the perfect book for me! It helped that the three characters, Santino, Ryan, and Cam, are all fun with intriguing abilities, which come out over the course of the story. I was already aware of Cass

Ryan has never explored the world even though he really wants too. He’s a psychic and he makes his living teaching and reading people. His particular talent is reading object or people by touch. He also sees ghosts.
Santino works for a secret group that use psychics to solve problem of a supernatural nature. He comes to Cassadaga to see if there are any gifted people to recruit for his organization.

The blurb was interesting, the idea for the story sounded good, there were enough parallels to common folklore, that the scarce worldbuilding was overall sufficient to get the picture. But
even so the characters were kind of cute and likeable, the writing stayed on the flat side. The mystery fell a bit short and lacked complexity. More telling than showing (especially with the needs, thoughts and feelings of the maincharacters), a bit repetitive and sometimes I got the feeling something went mis ...more

I liked the characters and enjoyed the story, but there was one thing that sort of nagged at me. Though our two characters are both differing brands of psychic, that's not as big a part of the story as it makes it seem. The entire join our psychic organization because your psychic powers are useful plot would have been more convincing if the psychic aspect played a bigger part in the story as whole. They did appear, of course, and they were plot points but just not in proportion to the importanc

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley to review. Thank you for the opportunity.
A really unusual, quirky and all round fun read. The writing is good and it is very fast paced, more like a novella. I personally wanted more content and more development of the story as I was enjoying it so much.
A good read.

A good read.
This was such an interesting paranormal mystery romance. Coupled with geeky psychics, magic, suspense and a slow brewing romance, this had all the elements of a good paranormal mystery.
I was absolutely entertained by the plot. The characters were likeable and well fleshed out. Hopefully we get a sequel to see what happens next!

Psychics in Cassadaga, Florida and not just any psychics, geeky psychics.
Heat and would wear anyone down, luckily there is a new relationship to be found, that may make things even hotter.
This book has it all from magic and secret societies to steamy romance between geeks. It is a quick exciting read that keeps you entertained the whole time.
Looking forward to more from Jana Dernardo.

The book wasn't bad per se but I would have liked it to be more about the paranormal aspects of the story, maybe fewer dates, and more about the characters as well. Also, I didn't understand if this is a stand-alone or the beginning of a series.
