North Chastain possesses a paranormal talent that gives him the ability to track down the most dangerous psychic criminals. When his father suddenly falls into a coma, North is convinced it was caused by a deadly artifact traced back to the days of a secret government laboratory known only as the Bluestone Project. North knows his only hope of saving his father is to find the artifact. He is good when it comes to tracking down killers but to locate the relic, he's going to need help from a psychic who knows the shadowy world of obsessive collectors, deceptive dealers, and ruthless raiders…

With her reputation in ruins after a false accusation, antique expert Sierra Raines is looking for a fresh start. She turns to the murky backwaters of the paranormal artifacts trade, finding and transporting valuable objects with a psychic provenance. When North Chastain approaches her for help, Sierra takes him on as a client, though not without reservations. North represents the mysterious Foundation, the secretive organization established to police the underworld populated by psychic criminals and those, like Sierra, who make a living in the shadows of that world.

All the Colors of  Night is the second book in the Fogg Lake series.  This one is North and Sierra's story.  While it works well as a stand alone, I do think you will get more context if you read The Vanishing first.  I really enjoyed this one.  I thought North and Sierra were great together.  Their chemistry was more of a slow burn and it was really cute.  What I loved most about both characters was their indecision about what their life path should be.  They both have strong powers, but do not really have an idea as to their life purpose.  I loved what they both figured out in the end, especially Sierra's idea.  It was perfect.

The mystery was really good.  It kept me guessing.  There  is a story arc that seems to be spanning multiple books that ties back to the secret labs in Fogg Lake.  That cliffhanger at the end is making me wish I had the next book right now. My one wish was that The Abyss was explored more.  That house sounds fascinating. It looks like it is going to be Olivia's story next and I can't wait!
