Tempest Rising

by Nicole Peeler

Orbit | November 1, 2009 | Mass Market Paperbound

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

Jane True is a truly fun charater to follow!

Jane True has lived her whole life as an outsider. Jane's Mom swept into town one night and into her father's heart. One day Jane's mother left without a word. While dealing with her absence Jane turned to her best friend for comfort. When he dies and the town blames Jane for the accidental death, Jane falls into a whole of despair. Thank goodness that her nightly swims in the ocean save her from herself. But why does the ocean call to her?

Quickly Jane finds herself on a journey of discovery as she finds out that she is in fact only half human! Soon her little town is turned upside down as there are more non-mortals in her town that she realized. The "new" non-mortal community welcomes Jane with open arms. When one of them is murdered, Jane finds herself protecting her town, her new friends and herself.

This is the first book in Peeler's series. It is quite funny and I am really drawn to that type of writing. With all the things that Jane goes through in the first book you can't wait to see what will become of her as she emerges from her past and into a very bright future.
