Jane is an entertaining character and while her conversations with herself can distract from the story they are very amusing. I'd probably give this a 3.5 if Goodreads could do half stars.

I could not put down EYE OF THE TEMPEST. There is non stop action, fantastic kick butt characters, tons of sexual frustration, laugh out loud commentary and some great surprises thrown in to make what I feel is the best Jane True novel yet. Jane has really grown into the supernatural world and herself. She gets some more answers and finds a new ally in her fight to protect. Her and Anyan are attempting to start up a relationship that has been forming for a while, and I'm super excited about it. I have always liked Anyan and hope book 5 has a lot of him in it. I wasn't sure how I felt about Blondie at the beginning but she really brings something new and fresh to the series. She turns out to be extremely loyal and I think Jane has a friend that will stand by her side through anything in her. The war is officially on and I will be there every step of the way. Cant wait for TEMPEST'S FURY in 2012.

This series has totally turned itself around and is headed in a very good direction. Though there were some touch and go moments for me in this installment. The first 40 pages were very cringeworthy, in a 'ok I get it you have an oversized libido' kind of way! Me Tarzan, you Jane.. no I am smart enough to register the first time you said you do, no need for the caveman boinking me on the head!

The book was paced perfectly from there on out. With some decidedly decadent scenes via Anyan and then Blondie. Yummy indeed.

But the best part is the underlying story and the wickedly mean interrupted end :)

Sexual tension. To the point where it's almost painful! Oh, and some other stuff. It must be said that Jane's libido is one of my favorite characters and when it's being denied she gets grumpy. And snarky! What I wasn't prepared for was the . . . twist.

Basically Jane becomes the chosen one. My book friends know how much this annoys me. Very few authors can pull off “the chosen one” bull crap and it always puts the fear in me. But this is Peeler. To me she can do no wrong and I highly doubt she's going to make Jane some kind of super-none-can-touch-her-ego-cray-cray type lead. As Jane goes on this next chapter of her life. Nope. Peeler handles it well. Jane is a Champion and this book only furthers her status as an amazing lead. The Jane True universe has been 100% unique—awesomeness—that fans have greatly appreciated. With this new mythology of the Alfar being revealed I'm sure fans will be blown away.

All of the amazing cast of characters are here. It amazes me each time how much I love all of Jane's friends, especially Jane's employers! The build up of Anyan and Jane is awesome. Also, frustrating as they keep getting interrupted. It doesn't help that some of Blondie’s origin story gets tossed in, and Jane develops a girl crush on Blondie . . . those scenes are pretty steamy. It was like this whole emotional thing. Anyan and Jane. *Fans self.* Blondie and Jane. *gulp* Mercy! Yet I'm team Anyan all the way and I want to see more of that relationship build. It would be cruel to have the amazing buildup and emotion to only be cut off before it really gets anywhere.

In the end I was shocked by the sudden “Ultimate Champion Jane” twist and the truth behind the Alfar. Thank you Peeler! This series is going to keep knocking my socks off with each new addition and I look forward to it. There is apart of me that felt this book wasn’t at great as the others. However! The whole world of Jane True is one that I've come to love and I count down the days to each new release. Tell the next adventure!

Sexual Content: This book is hawt! Great make out scenes and some naughty ones. Nothing too explicit.

4/5- Great! Really enjoyed it.

Got to admit, I'm totally squicked out by the romance between Jane and Anyan (? can't spell that name). He's a dog. He's hundreds of years older than her. It's just gross.

Shenanigans. So many shenanigans! While this particular book had its own story arc, the way it played out leaves you feeling satisfied while dreading that the worst is yet to come. As a reader, that's what I'm looking for. I happily await the next in the series.
