Tempest's Legacy

Peeler seamlessly blends snarky pop culture references with emotionally harrowing topics in the third Jane True supernatural adventure. Still reeling from her trip to Boston in 2010's Tracking the Tempest, halfling Jane True is dealt another staggering blow: her long-lost selkie mother, Mari, has been murdered at a secret lab where horrible experiments were performed upon supernatural creatures. When Jane's sometime lover Ryu and her current crush, Anyan, find the lab, everything and everyone within it has been destroyed. When Jane's best friend, the succubus Iris, is kidnapped, Jane is certain her nemesis, Jarl, is behind the unspeakable acts. Jane is sure to endear herself to new readers with her charm, sass, and vulnerability, while longtime fans will be thrilled by her magical and emotional growth. (Jan.)
