I picked up the Jane True books almost by accident, and I'm so glad I did! Not that these would be mistaken for classic literature, but Tempest Rising and Tracking The Tempest have been a total blast. What with all sorts of supernaturals running around, including vampires, werewolves, incubi and succubi, gnomes, and kelpies, not to mention our heroine Jane True -- half human, half selkie -- what's not to love? Jane has a great sense of humor, an amusingly dirty mind and dirty mouth, and a good deal of plain old nerve, not to mention all those magical powers she's just starting to harness. Author Nicole Peeler does a terrific job of fleshing out all the secondary and subsidiary characters as well, especially the unforgettable Ryu, Jane's devoted and ultrasexy vampire boyfriend. If you enjoy the quirkiness of the Parasol Protectorate series, give the Jane True books a spin. They're quick, they're like gobbling up candy, but they're ultimately a satisfyingly yummy treat.
