Tempest's Legacy(Jane True Series, Book 3)Author: Nicole PeelerPublisher: Orbit, 2011
Back Cover
After a peaceful hiatus at home in Rockabill, Jane True thinks that her worst problem is that she still throws like a girl – at least while throwing fireballs. Her peace of mind ends, however, when Anyan arrives one night with terrible news…news that will rock Jane’s world to its very core.
After demanding to help investigate a series of gruesome attacks on females – supernatural, Halfling, and human – Jane quickly finds herself forced to confront her darkest nightmares as well as her deepest desires.
And she’s not sure which she finds more frightening.
My Review:
Jane True returns feistier than ever. When news of a terrible murder and the discovery of more laboratories experimenting on supernaturals reach Jane, she decides to take things into her own hands. After fighting both into Ryu and Anyan – and majorly kicking their asses – Jane joins the investigation that will lead her on a wild ride to the Borderlands (territories outside Alfar jurisdiction). There she makes new friends with some powerful Halflings, the girl trio called Triptich (which I absolutely love!). In the end it will all come down to a face-off with her greatest enemy.
In the mean time, Jane’s romantic life is also in chaos. She finally admits that Ryu is not the one for her, but he doesn’t seem to understand that it’s over between them. Meanwhile Jane can’t stop ogling Anyan every chance she gets, but she knows the handsome hellhound is out of her league. Or is he?
I really love this series; it has everything I look for in a story: wit, suspense, lots of cursing, romance, and just the right amount of – as Jane calls it – nookie. In this third book Jane deals with grief and anger, and realizes that she is not longer the weak girl she started out as. Nicole Peeler has created a really created a wonderful character in Jane True. I’ve seen her grow throughout the series and it just makes her seem more real and relatable. I can’t wait to read more about her adventures!
