Book Review: Valentine’s Day By Josie Jaffrey

** We were gifted a copy of this book however all thought and opinions are our own**

One of my favourite things about being part of the blogging community is the people I’ve met along the way. When I’d just started writing here at Fraser’s Fun House Indie author Josie Jaffrey reached out asking if I’d like to read her upcoming release. As a lifelong book lover I thought I’d died and gone to heaven so eagerly agreed and I’m thrilled I did as years later I’ve devoured all of Josie’s books. Not only is Josie a lovely lady but her books are fantastic.

The fourth book in Josie’s The Seekers series is due for publication on 14th November and she was kind enough to send me an early copy which I read immediately, abandoning my frankly out of hand TBR! The cover is stunning I’m sure you’ll agree and I hope you will check out my thoughts on this forthcoming release below.

About The Book

Jack Valentine is no stranger to a manhunt, but usually she’s the one doing the hunting. In retrospect, maybe her assassination attempt on the Primus – the most powerful Silver in existence – was a mistake. She probably shouldn’t have murdered her ex-girlfriend either, however necessary it seemed at the time. But if Jack could take back only one thing from that awful night, it would be telling Killian Drake that she… sort of likes him.

On the run from the Primus’s guards and fearing retribution from at least three different directions, Jack has no option but to lie low. For a disaster-magnet like her, that’s one hell of an ask, but she’d stay in hiding forever if it meant she could avoid Drake.

Unfortunately, she didn’t walk away from her murderous endeavours unscathed. With poison in her veins, Jack is now very literally hot-blooded, and getting hotter all the time. She needs Drake’s healing kisses to keep herself from going up in flames, which forces them into just the kind of proximity she’s trying to avoid.

One way or another, someone’s about to get burned.

Review

Wow, just wow! I’m not sure how Josie manages to keep making her books better & better?

Being the fourth book in the series it’s really hard to say anything that isn’t spoilers but if you enjoy fast paced fantasy with kick ass female protagonists then The Seekers series is for you.

This book literally picks up where we left the characters last time and I personally love to jump straight back into the thick of it when it comes to a series. Valentine’s Day does a great job of moving the story along whilst expanding and adding more to the world of The Seekers plus I was super excited to see some of my favourite side characters back in the fray!

I’ve read all of Josie’s books to date and the worlds and systems she has creates allow you to truly feel immersed. Her characters are always well fleshed out, often morally grey and compulsive to read about. Her writing style is so easy to read but doesn’t lack the description or depth you want- I’m sure she is magic!

I thought this was the final book in the series but with the cliffhanger ending I’m pleased Josie has confirmed there will be one more instalment and I’m already anticipating what comes next.

I’d highly recommend this series and any of this authors backlist she is my favourite Indie author and her work is more than deserving of my 5 star rating!

About The Author

Josie is a fantasy and historical fiction author who writes about lost worlds, dystopian societies and paranormal monsters (vampires are her favourite). She has published multiple novels and short stories. Most of those are set in the Silverse, an apocalyptic world filled with vampires and zombies.

She’s currently working on vampire murder mysteries (the Seekers series) and a YA series centred around Atlantis and the lost civilisations of the Mediterranean (the Deluge series). Researching the latter is the first time she’s used her Classics degree since university.

Josie Lives in Oxford with her husband and two cats (Sparky and Gussie), who graciously permit human cohabitation in return for regular feeding and cuddles. The resulting cat fluff makes it difficult for Josie to wear black, which is largely why she gave up being a goth. Although the cats are definitely worth it, she still misses her old wardrobe.
