More than a Plain Jane

Tempest Reborn (Jane True, #6)

Tempest Reborn is the sixth and final book in Nicole Peeler's Jane True series. If you haven't read the series and plan to,  this review will contain spoilers from previous books.

This book essentially picks up right where Tempest's Fury ends, with Blondie dead and Anyan being taken over by White.  After those events, Jane basically goes into a catatonic state with the help of the Creature.  She comes out of it when she realizes it is up to her to save Anyan and stop Red and White.

First big hurdle is how to kill White but not kill Anyan, which brings into play the Universe and how to keep the balance that Red and White throw off.  Next problem is how to permanently put an end to Red and White so that they cannot cause chaos in the world again.

Jane has her work cut out for her, lucky for her she has a great support group in her friends and family.  Jane learns the meaning of true sacrifice and saving the world is not as easy as it sounds.

I would love to write more about the story, but the book is so fast pace that I am afraid that I would give away too much if I wrote more.  That was nice about this book because Ms. Peeler could have easily made this book drag on.  Not to say there were not parts that didn't drag.  Like some of the battle scenes felt like they dragged and were a bit to rehearsed feeling to them.

Jane does make the final step in her transformation into the Champion in this book.  She truly came into her own power, and is no longer the plain Jane she thought she was from Tempest Rising.  Although, there were a quite a few Jane crying scenes which I though could have been toned down a little.

I did think that Ms. Peeler did wrap up her story well.  She did not leave me with unanswered questions.  Oh, and bonus points for Supernatural, Harry Potter, Star Trek, and True Blood references in the book.
