Reviews Of The Book On BooksShelf
A very interesting read with a complex story. I liked the characters, Jane and Ryan the most. Michael Morse definitely came as a surprise, especially what he is to Jane (no spoilers here). I highly recommend it!
Jane Blake: True Sinner (Book #1 of the Jane Blake Series) is one amazing novel! Mystery is one of my favorite genres and usually, I have high expectations when it comes to reading a mystery book - Jane Blake exceeded them!
The plot is complex and thrilling - the ex-con artist Jane is tricked into working with the hacker Ryan in the police but this is not all. Ryan makes her solve his mother's murder and in exchange, he's helping her dig into her own past. And what a past she has - Jane is adopted, at a young age, someone tries to kidnap her and before she was saved this person tells her that her real parents are looking for her. From then on, Jane tries to find who they are, but guess what, she finds a relative but he is not what she expected so she ended up hunting him down with her team. I'm not going to give any more spoilers - you have to read it!
The novel is fast-paced and full of twists and turns, complicated situations, and wit. The characters are well-developed and interesting. While the main plot is running and each chapter gives us clues, other cases are worked on by the team. These small cases are also well thought and interesting.
There is a love story as a subplot but it is just starting, so I'm guessing it will be developed more in the next books.
Jane is one amazing woman with many talents - she has amazing detective skills, she is cunning, she has trust issues, she is a loner... but she doesn't really want to be alone anymore... I enjoyed the strong female lead. Ryan is the calmer but yet strong in his own way, with a talent that lacks in Jane - hacking and good with tech along with his detective skills. Hunt is the old school cop with his own tragedy, Valdez is the career type of guy, Carter is the ex sniper with a sense of humor and no luck with women... What can I say - I loved the characters! I can keep going but I don't want to give spoilers and to ruin your fun. Just read the book.
I highly recommend this book and I can't wait to read the second!
