I was on the edge of my seat wanting to scream and shout and kick off at Jodi for putting them through what she does. This book has both of those in BUCKET LOADS! My heart broke with Jesse’s. If you know anything about me, you’ll know, I always crave FEELING. What I will say though is Jesse is FIIIIIIIINE! I’d actually say he’s better than ever, hotter than ever, swoonier than ever. I’m not going to go into storyline or anything detailed. It was everything I could have HOPED for and then some. This book consumed me, like how Jesse consumes Ava. All my fears about how this would work were disintegrated by 10%. This book had a flow and an ease that was so comfortable, so relaxing. I would like to officially claim that this is Jodi’s best book yet. And I did not know how another book could be better, be good… The prospect of another book started to grow on me though and soon for me, no matter what the outcome was going to be, everything got the better of me and I KNEW I simply HAD to read it. They go together like Bella & Edward, Cinderella & Prince Charming. I mean Jesse & Ava are the Ross & Rachel of the book world. I was really, really struggling with the prospect of having another book in the world that would upset the dynamic of such a great loved pair. When Jodi Ellen Malpas announced that she was writing another book about Jesse & Ava my first thought was “NO. So, I’m gonna start this review being really, really honest.

With newfound confidence in her identity, January escapes from Battleboro. January continues to read The Ten Thousand Doors while imprisoned at Battleboro, and based on her experience discovering the blue Door as a child, realizes that the Doors described in the book are real, and the characters in the book, Ade and Yule, are her mother and father. In response, Locke sends her to Battleboro asylum. At Locke’s annual Society party, January stands up to Locke, motivated by anger at the loss of her father. She reads about Ade Larson and Yule Ian, two young people from different worlds who spent years searching for magic Doors between worlds. Upon hearing that her father is missing and likely dead, she escapes from her grief by reading her newly found book. The day before her 17th birthday, January finds a mysterious book, The Ten Thousand Doors. Over the course of her childhood and into her teenage years, January represses her adventurous nature in favor of the demure good girl Locke wants her to be. However, when Locke finds out what she has done, he locks her away in her room and breaks her wild, adventurous spirit. While traveling to Kentucky with Locke, she discovers a blue Door in an empty field that leads to a world by the sea. As a little girl, January loves exploring and getting into mischief. January Scaller grows up under the care and provision of wealthy Cornelius Locke, a collector and business owner that employs January’s father to travel the world and bring back objects for Locke’s collection. It's one of the things Henley does so well-excellent characters and a plot with great twists and turns! Both have Irish blood running through their veins-at a time when Queen Elizabeth feared the rebellious Irish. Just the woman to tame a wild man like Shane Hawkhurst. She is fiercely independent, courageous, feisty and smart. She intends to go to Court and seduce her husband and become his mistress, making him her love slave and having her revenge. Ah, but Sara-as Sabre-has a different plan. Shane planned to have his brother Matthew take Sara to one of his estates and dump her there, never wishing to meet her. Little did he know his new wife was the red-haired Irish vixen, Sara Bishop, referred to by her jealous half siblings as "Sabre Wilde" after her dead father and his sword. Shane had promised his father he would marry, and to stave off Queen Bess' jealousy and because he did not really want a wife, he had his solicitor find a country lass who had some land in Ireland he wanted and married her by proxy. But his English father claimed him as heir, and when Shane's father died, Shane became Lord Hawkhurst. She named him "the sea god." He was, in fact, not the son of Lord Hawkhurst, but the son of an Irishman named O'Neill, the Earl of Tyrone. Captain Shane Hawkhurst was Queen Bess' favorite. The story is set in 1586, when Queen Elizabeth ruled England and her sea hawks ruled the seas, robbing the Spanish fleet to fill her coffers. I love Henley's storytelling, her attention to historic detail and her ability to weave a captivating tale. |
