Fabulous start to a new series! I got so wrapped up in the story, I made my family mad because I wouldn’t put the book down. I absolutely loved it! Jesse is my hero. She’s strong, courageous, selfless, determined, kind, honorable, intelligent, etc. There are many fascinating characters some you will love, some you just want to lock up and throw away the key. LOL. It’s full of action and mystery. Kept me guessing. I am so looking forward to the next book. This author’s last series was amazing and set the bar high but I think with this new world and the new characters she will exceed setting the bar even higher. I can’t wait for the next book!
Speechless! This book, “Pawn” by Karen Lynch has left me speechless with how amazing it is. From page one I was drawn into the life and happenings of Jesse James. Yep Jesse James is her name and she lives up to the name sake. Her character is strong, determined, loyal, caring, and smart. Jesse is faced with many challenging’s as she tries to find her missing parents. She meets five unseelie court faeries who decide to help her. These fae are great characters and you, as a reader, will warm up to most of the quickly.
Karen has done a fabulous job creating a new world where humans and faeries co-exist. The character development is spot on and you really have a sense of who they are as you read. There is much action, adventure, and a big twist towards the end that will have you enthralled. I’m looking forward to the next book.
