I was very lucky to get an e-ARC from the awesome Nicole Peeler, for her debut novel TEMPEST RISING.Jane True is a fresh new voice among urban fantasy heroines. I don't want to say too much, for fear of spoilers, but if you want a book that's sassy, funny, and full of less-seen mythic critters, this one is for you. Be sure to pick it up come November!I spontaneously give up after letting the already read 54 pages simmer for a while in my head. I truely cannot say that this first installment of the Jane-True-series is unrecommendable or badly written, so don't be put off by this not very deep and serious effort to review. Maybe the mist of boringness would have lifted after ten more pages - who knows? Right where I stopped a supernatural investigator with hot Asian features stepped into the scene and grabbed the perplexed heroine to hug her
My thoughts...I really enjoy this debut novel by Nicole Peeler. Let me start with the characters. Jane True, our heroine made me smile through out the whole book with her quick witt and her arguments with herself. Having endured a very traumatic experience and some very unfriendly neighbors she lives her life day by day. Then we meet Ryu, a vampire investigator who has come to town to interview Jane about a mysterious death. Ryu is everything we would expect, sexy, smart sophisticated, rich and
I truly, thoroughly enjoyed this book. It was original and unique. It was sexy and funny. It was unpredictable and smart. The story centers on Jane True, a 20-something misfit living in a small Maine tourist town. She works at a small bookstore, takes care of her sick father, and has an abiding love for the sea. Jane has been an outcast in the town her whole life. Her mother made big waves, first when she appeared out of nowhere, then disappeared in much the same way when Jane was a child. But
I started off digging the book. The way it was written and the way Jane talked was a way in which I speak or think sometimes. Other times it felt like Jane wasn't an adult more like a teenager and in some ways I don't fault her for it due to her circumstances. Still it took a bit for the story to get into it and when it did it wasn't really well thought out. Ryu is a "vampire" investigator about the body she saw. He sort of hangs around and involves her in his investigation which I found odd.
You would think Id learn my lesson by this point in my life a lesson engraved in me since childhood: never judge a book by its cover. This is definitely a prime example of that, for sure. I mean taking a good look at this you may note that its a cartoon picture (warning automatically goes off in my head), theres a strange dog with a giraffe like-neck in the background (seriously, that dog has one seriously long neck), and this strange looking girl that looks like she jumped out of my computer
