Product Description

Product Description

Living in small town Rockabill, Maine, Jane True always knew she didn't quite fit in with so-called normal society. During her nightly, clandestine swim in the freezing winter ocean, a grisly find leads Jane to startling revelations about her heritage: she is only half-human.

Now, Jane must enter a world filled with supernatural creatures alternatively terrifying, beautiful, and deadly- all of which perfectly describe her new "friend," Ryu, a gorgeous and powerful vampire.

It is a world where nothing can be taken for granted: a dog can heal with a lick; spirits bag your groceries; and whatever you do, never-ever-rub the genie's lamp.

If you loveSookie Stackhouse, then you'll want to dive into Nicole Peeler's enchanting debut novel.


About the Author

Nicole D. Peeler does not have any cats, kids, or husbands. Instead, she vexes literature in her new role as an assistant professor of English Literature at Louisiana State University in Shreveport. Although she's excited to call Louisiana "home," she has previously set up shop in her native Illinois, Boston, Spain and Scotland. Nicole is ashamed of her dreadful potty mouth and fervently wishes that she were taller. TEMPEST RISING is her first novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic debut novel!, Nov 14 2009
By C. J. Healy "Cat" (Montreal, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a new author, a first book, it has a great cover and a fun story on the inside.
This is an urban fantasy novel that was refreshingly original. Sure it had a vampire romantic interest, BUT the focus on Ryu was NOT that he was a vampire but that he was an investigator. And not once ounce of emo, tortured vampire was squeezed out of this character, or any of the characters for that matter. This book has selkies, kelpies and nahauls (oh, my!). It has gnomes and naga and Alphars (elves, really, but dont call them that). There are no faerie courts or stand-offs between vamps and weres. There is no love triangle. There IS a lot of sex, but its not graphically descriptive (thank the gods!) and although it was a little too in the forefront of the book, it was easy (for me) to skip over and get back to the mystery. Yes! There is mystery! Woohoo!

Twenty-six year old Jane True ends up in the middle of a murder mystery which somehow is connected to her and she discovers that she isnt just a normal human who likes to swim in the ice-cold ocean and who doesnt need a coat in the winter. She has a past that continuously haunts her in the small town she lives in in Maine. She finds out a lot about her present and past in this book that she never knew could even be possible. She grows as a person throughout the novel and regains confidence she had lost years ago.
I am terribly anxious for the next book which will be released in July 2010.
