About this audiobook
Luckily for Jane, those who've given up on Anyan do not include those closest to her. Defying The Powers That Be, Jane and company form their own crack squad of misfits, in whose hands the fate of the world may well rest.
With a little help from her friends, the Universe, and lots of snacks, Jane embarks on her greatest adventure yet, confident that with great sacrifice comes great reward. The question is, who will be that sacrifice?
Nicole Peeler
Nicole 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.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sad that this is the end of the series- but what an ending it was! Jane is as clever and sarcastic as she's ever been, the chemistry between Jane and Anyan was smokin' hot, and the supporting characters were fleshed out and original. Jane True was one of my first urban fantasy series, and though some of my original favorites haven't managed to grow with my tastes, I've been with Jane the whole way.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Review courtesy of Dark Faerie Tales.Quick & Dirty: Saving Anyan is Jane’s number 1 priority but will she be strong enough to follow all the instructions to defeat the Red and White?Opening Sentence: The agaony was excruciating, a white heat at the center of my consciousness.The Review:Tempest Reborn is the epic finale to the Jane True’s series. While I have only read books 5 and 6, I really feel that this is a story that was told with great planning and consideration for the entire arc of the entire series.In my review for book 5, Tempest’s Fury, I told you that you could comfortably pick up the series from there and move forward, but not from book 6. This book requires everything you learn about good and evil, characters and their personalities, and politics from all sides in order for this book to make complete sense as Ms. Peeler intended.That being said, in this book, I felt was the better of these two books in part because I had a vested interest in the world and characters but also because of the epic showdowns, which are amazing. Whether it comes in the form of Luke Skywalker vs. Jedi Master or Sherlock vs. Moriarty or the gunfight at the O.K. Corral, these moments are poignant and if well told live on in our memory and pass on into our legends. This battle has all of that and then some. The story is well crafted but there are twists and turns that make it magical.This review is hard to write due in part because I refuse to give spoilers but I can say that the stakes are higher than they have been before, but the interplay between the characters is heart wrenching. Plots are foiled, people die and the journey continues until the final last stand. I must say that I was not expecting the twist that Ms. Peeler threw at me, but this is what makes a book ring true and stay with us long past putting it down and moving on to the next book, TV show or movie.My conclusion is that this entire series is definitely one that needs to be read by anyone with a passion for a good story, amazing heroine with a heart of gold, hero that you long to take home to Mom and Dad and then find a place to indulge your naughty side, and the magic that pulls it all together.Pick up this series or add it to your Goodreads To Be Read list, you won’t be disappointed.Notable Scene:“Thank you for finding me. It’s made all the difference,” he told me. What frightened me even more than his cryptic words was the fear I saw reflected in his own gray eyes. They were wild; as if frantic to impart something I couldn’t yet understand.“You must find me again soon, Jane. It’s the only thing that will keep me going. He’s so strong, and he’s growing stronger. You have to help me.”“I’ll do anything,” I said, and I meant it.“I know you will. Whatever you’re doing, you’re scaring them. That makes them desperate, but it means you’re on the right track.”I didn’t know what he was talking about, but I nodded.“You have to stay strong, too,” I said.Anyan’s mouth pressed into a grim line. “I’m trying. This helped, more than you can imagine.”FTC Advisory: Orbit provided me with a copy of Tempest Reborn. No goody bags, sponsorships, “material connections,” or bribes were exchanged for my review.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This is the sixth, and final, book in the Jane True series. It was decent but not as spectacular as I had hoped. It kind of felt like Peeler was just going through the motions and tying up loose ends. I enjoyed the first half of the book, but though that the second half was a bit of a drag to get through. There are spoilers for the previous books in this series ahead, so you have been warned.This book picks up right where the fifth book left off. Anyan has been merged with the White, Blondie has been killed by the Red, and everyone is generally depressed. Jane must merge with Creature and pick up the pieces. Along with what remains of her friends she must figure out how to stop the Red and the White for good, and if there is anyway to unmerge Anyan from the White.There were a lot of things I liked about this book. I like how Jane really steps up to the challenge and how her friends are so supportive and helpful (even Ryu!). Watching Jane’s relationship with Creature develop was awesome and incredibly interesting. Creature is a power so immense that it was fun to watch Jane learn how to wield its abilities. I love that Jane has to practice to hone her powers too.Jane has dreams about Anyan, so he is kind of in the story off and on throughout the book. Supposedly the dreams with Jane help Anyan to keep his soul separate from the White, but really they allow for gratuitous sex scenes between the two. Which was kind of like...okay...whatever.Ryu makes big steps in character development in this story as well. He has a bit of trouble adjusting to the new “in charge and powerful” Jane. Once he is able to adjust though he is an excellent asset to her battle.The first half of the book I really enjoyed. I started to have some trouble with the second half. I like that these books have been more fantasy in the last few installments and less romance. But in this book I missed the fun. I like reading these books because they are funny and quirky, that was missing a lot in this book. The second half of the book is plagued with long passages of prophecies, that one of Jane’s friends miraculously unravels. Then there are long discussions about what is the right way to interpret things and long dissertations on the history of alchemy. It all sounds kind of neat, but it came off as lengthy, drawn out and boring.The book did tie everything up nicely though. Those who like very complete stories will be pleased. There is even an Epilogue that shows where all of our favorite characters are a few years after the end of the battle with the Red and White.Overall this was a decent conclusion to this series. I enjoyed some of the character development with Jane and Ryu. I liked the magic involved and there were some awesome fight scenes (poor London really takes a beating). However the second half of the book digresses too much into these long prophecies and comes off as boring...the pacing is just off for this part of the story. Additionally a lot of the fun and quirky Jane is missing from this book. I think Jane True fans should be happy with this conclusion overall. I recommend this whole series to fans of light hearted urban fantasy, it really was a fun read.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Ok I have to admit I was one of the people who was righteously pissed at how book 5 ended, talk about cliff hanger ending! So I couldn't wait for Tempest Reborn to come out...I just had to know what happens ya know. So I jumped all over this when it came out.I think this series is highly underrated, I liked it a lot better than some of the more popular UF series' out there. I thoroughly appreciated the humor and sarcasm throughout the series including Tempest Reborn. I like watching Jane grow from the scared little loner to the champion with a group of people that she cared about and who cared about her. Anyan...all I have to say is yum!If you haven't read book 5 spoilers are coming up...so stop here and go read the series I promise it is worth it...go on shoo. I book 5 Jane loses everything, she loses Blondie as she is killed in battle by the Red and the Red also takes Anyan to resurrect her lover the White. Tempest Reborn picks up right where Tempest's Fury leaves off and Jane withdraws into herself with only the creature in her mind as she mourns and tries to figure out where to go next with her greatest allies and the love of her life gone.There is a ton of action and big epic battle scenes...poor London. There is government intrigue as the supes are forced into the spotlight by the Red. Honestly Nicole Peeler kills of nearly as many characters as George RR Martin and that was kinda depressing but I understand she needed Jane to be able to both rely on others and stand on her own. The ending and prologue were sweet and I was happy with both. I do highly recommend this series to all UF/PNR fans.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Jane True is back in the last installment of the series. It is always sad to see a series end but Jane has had a fabulous run and you will not be disappointed. TEMPEST'S FURY left everything on a pretty big cliffhanger as we watch Anyan fly away. TEMPEST REBORN starts up right where we left off. As you can imagine Jane is not in a good place. Luckily she has her friends by her side for support as she starts the hardest part of her journey yet. Nicole does not skimp out on the action and adventure in TEMPEST REBORN. The whole book is go-go-go with little downtime. Jane takes control and really shines through. For those Jane and Anyan fans, Nicole knows how to get her sexy talk on. I am always thoroughly entertained reading through those moments. Not into sexy time? That is OK it doesn't happen all the time and it doesn't drag out or anything. Although there is a lot of loss with books 5 and 6, I really enjoyed those who took part in book 6. Everyone comes together to make it all happen.I really liked the ending but I wish we could get some sort of novella or short story so we can get a bit more detail on the few years before the jump ahead. It would be fun to witness the experiences that happen. I'm very happy with the ending of the series though so I would consider that a bonus if it ever happened. I will miss Jane, Anyan and the rest of the gang.
