Jane lives in tiny Rockabill, Maine – and has always been that girl. The girl whose mother appeared suddenly, stark naked. The girl whose mother then disappears, never to be seen again. The girl whose best (and possibly only) friend drowns while trying to save her from the ocean – not knowing that J...
When I finished reading this book, the one word that went through my mind was wow. The protagonist of this story is Jane True and she is half human and half selkie. Jane is unaware of her true parentage but knows that for some reason she feels driven to swim regardless of the weather and does not ...
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...
I got my copy of this book from Authors After Dark. I’ve seen Nicole’s work mentioned here and there, but I’m surprised I haven’t heard more—her work is hilarious!Jane True is one of the most excellent urban fantasy heroines I’ve stumbled across in quite some time. Everyone in town thinks she’s nuts...
Original review: http://onabookbender.com/2011/11/21/review-tempest-rising-by-nicole-peeler/There wasn’t anything spectacular about Tempest Rising, but it certainly held its own; after all, it was the first book I finished after going through nearly a week of not reading (and that’s rare, even for m...
Pages read: 110/359. Conclusion: Life is too damn short.I knew early on that I was never going to finish this book. The death knell went off every few pages. It failed to suck me in. It was not funny even though it tried to be. There was a stereotypical lesbian couple (the butch one and the pretty o...
Let me give two warnings. First, don’t be fooled by the cute cartoonish cover of the books, they’re really NOT for teens. And, second, for those of you living with other people, don’t start reading this book at 2am because you’ll find yourself trying – and failing – to contain constant bursts of lau...
I am really not sure about Jane True. TEMPEST RISING started out a bit slow and then Jane finding out who/what she really is the book then begun to pick up again, and then we're back to the "I'm bored" phase. Usually what does it for me in a book is the characters and the plot and TEMPEST RISING fai...
I wasn't sure what to expect with this story b/c I cute cover threw me off. I enjoyed this book a lot and the creativeness of the different paranormal characters. I look forward to reading more about Jane True and the many adventures I'm sure that are in her future.
I had a hard time connecting with Jane initially. While the loss of her first love was obvious and the town's treatment of her was terrible, I just wasn't, well, interested. Until Jane makes a discovery in the ocean which sets things in motion that change her life forever. And, the addition of on...
