I’m Jacqueline, daughter of Hasan, ruling werecat of the Americas, the werecat liaison to humanity, and the lover of Heath Everson, Alpha werewolf. But I go by Jacky Leon and no one knows about the werewolf.

Some time ago, I met a fae and his family while on the run. They helped me, and for his own reasons, the fae had given me a gift. I never went looking for him. I knew the name he gave me and I did my best not to think too hard about it, him, or his family.

Life has a fun way of bringing things back because he's the lost king of the fae and now everyone knows. People who want him to take back the throne, people who want to kill him so he can’t, and people who want to hurt those he loves just to see him hurt.

And I’m the werecat he gave a gift, just in case he ever needed someone to protect his innocent human wife. I’m now a pawn in a deadly clash of fae powers the likes of which has never been seen.

Brin knows even a pawn can change the game.
Especially this pawn.

Heartbreaking

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021

Verified Purchase

K.N. Banet is or has been one of my favorite authors. But at the moment, I'm mad at her. I follow both the Jacky Leon and Kaylia Sahni series. These take place in the same universe and feature some of the same characters.

I've given this book five stars, but I'm not sure I'll continue this series after one heartbreaking event in this book. I feel it was needless and cruel. It really upset my day.

First, there appears to be information in this book that gives away information about the next Kaylia novel, Legends.

Second, and worst of all for me, she kills off a major character needlessly. I can't say she didn't warn me as her author's blurb says she like to make people cry. I know some readers will like the heartbreak, but I don't. There is enough heartbreak in the real world.

Spoiler alert

I have so enjoyed this series previously, but right now I feel like I did watching the Game of Thrones finale. There was a different style to this book that noticed from the beginning, and there were several events that I did not Like. We all know that things can't always be positive, but I feel a bit slapped in the face when a character is killed off unnecessarily. I've never read a book with an ending that made me feel so horrible, and I fear that it will taint the remaining books for me. I think this author is so talented that their work is better served standing on the merit of the writing and not on shock value.

Spoils Kaliya Sahni books

Reviewed in the United States on July 14, 2021

Verified Purchase

I love the series and this book but it’s really frustrating that this book spoils the other series. The last Jacky Leon book spoiled the Kaliya Sahni book that was just released and this one spoils the next one too. It’s seriously frustrating and I really wish the editors reviewed the release schedules. The books are amazing and I love them but no one likes spoilers.

If You’ve Come This Far In The Series, Definitely Don’t Stop Now

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2021

Though this book did not feel like it moved at the same fairly quick pace of the last, the author still managed to pack a lot in. I love watching the depiction of a healthy couple that Jackie and Heath present. They support and push one another as needed and, most importantly, COMMUNICATE!
I’m too lazy and am still reeling from those last chapters to give a cohesive summary, but I think the book’s description does a good enough job of that. What I will say is that we’re left on a familial and supernatural cliffhanger that I am simultaneously dreading and waiting eagerly to find out what happens next with. I love the family Jackie has built in her teritory, and watching the bonds between her were-family deepen. Even with things ending in a bit of chaos, there is still so much love in Jackie’s world to keep her grounded. Love, support, and secondary storylines I enjoy watching play out. I’m happy for the people Jackie has in her corner, but also knowing the title of that next book.. she just can’t catch a break.
I just hope that the event foreshadowed in that last chapter happens somewhere in the midsts of the chaos that’s sure to come.
I[‘’m also now curious about Kaliya’s storyline in a way I hadn’t been before. And I’m excited about the short story with Zuri. (She’s definitely my favorite of Jackie’s siblings.)

Banet has truly outdone herself with this latest installment of the Jacky Leon series. Every page was jam packed with action and I love how that translates to Jacky and Heath’s relationship. The tie-ins to the Kaliyah Sahni series just expand this universe so much. So much to look forward to and Jacky’s growth and development throughout the series is so natural. If you haven’t started this series yet, what are you waiting for…

I absolutely love this series and it's one I chomp at the bit waiting for the book to drop. Finished this in a day. I almost don't want this to end but I feel it coming. We start off with an unusually great day for our girl Jacky and then like a Monday morning on speed things go straight to hell. We are coming close to the point where I start to wonder how much more bad luck can the main character take. I would like to see her come to someone else's rescue with out it affecting her life in a bad way.

As was hinted in the last book, the consequences of Alina finding out who gave the gift of mindspeak finally comes to a head. There is so much to say but all of it would take away from pertinent parts in the book. We get a little look into the cost of coming out for the werewolves. It breaks your heart a bit.

The fae, their convoluted lives and polices are at the forefront of the story. Jacky and Heath find friends and new allies in the most unexpected of places. This was about levels to relationships, the levels to love, what ppl do for love and the different consequences that may come from that.

There were some serious bums in this series. I really wanted to reach in and pimp smack a couple of characters. There was a person here I really really would have liked to push their ungrateful behind in front of a deranged werewolf. And I will stop there.

All in all, this did not disappoint. You had a story, drama, action, a lil bit of a "good time" and more questions. That ending tho! Can't wait to see where things go next and I'm glad we don't have too long to wait.

Jacky

Reviewed in the United States on July 15, 2021

This book was a hard one to get through, I usually love the Jacky books! But this one was my least favorite. Now I loved heath and jacky in this book, there is so much that has built between them, And they are seriously in love. We have waited forever for this moment, and now that we are here I'm just hoping they get a happy ending! Do I see that in the Near future? No. There was a lot of bad that happened in this book, and I just feel so bad for Jacky. Finally after everything she's done, her family ties strong, we just got sent back to square one. It hard to watch ur favorite character not be on top as she has to constantly fight. I was sad that brin ended up being a real f%%%! I was sad for his sons! I hated Fiona with the heat of a thousands suns! Yes, this book had a lot that just made me seriously growl at times. The ending ripped my heart out! But I will continue to read on with this series no matter how many books deep we are! This story is one of my all time favorites. I'm just hoping for Jacky to finally get everything she's ever wanted and more.

Manipulated By The Fae

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 19, 2021

Verified Purchase

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This is the sixth book of a continuing series. It crosses over with characters and events with a spin-off series set in the same world. Though the previous books in this series are required reading to understand this book, you probably don’t need to read the spin-off series, though reading it would make your understanding of the characters involved more in depth. There is no cliffhanger, as the story ends at a natural break in the plot.

With Jacky’s position in the supernatural world, she has more influence and impact on people and events than her age should dictate, but she is her father’s daughter and because of that and his love for her, she will always be more important than would normally be expected. It also makes her a target because everyone knows that Hasan, the oldest werecat in existence will tear apart the world to protect his youngest daughter.

In this book a royal Fae decides to use Jacky for his own ends and uses her relationship with Heath to blackmail them both into protecting his human wife. He knows that Heath and Jacky have others to rely on to help them protect his wife and if worse comes to worse, he will have the aid of Hasan.

There were certain things I didn’t enjoy about this book, namely how Jacky and Heath were manipulated by circumstances and by magic. They had no defence against either and it felt very one-sided. They were puppets and not particularly strong ones. Very few of the fae characters in this story were particularly tolerable, let alone likeable and they just left me cold. I didn’t particularly like the woman they were protecting either. In the past books in this series it felt like all the trouble Jacky got into was worth while because she was protecting people and ideas and in this book she was powerless and being used for something she didn’t care about.

There was also things I really enjoyed about this book, as always KN Banet writes fantastic plots and worlds. I loved reading about the fae and the different realms. Just because I didn’t like the fae, didn’t mean I didn’t like reading about them (I’m weird like that sometimes). Cassius and Sorcha were introduced to me in the Kaliya Sahni series and they have always been likeable, so it was nice to read about them in this book, even if things were difficult them. I hope that we read more about them in future books. My hope is that with the scope of this amazingly complex world the author has created, one of the series will be about the fae and we’ll read more about them.

One other really good thing about this book was how Heath and Jacky were in this book with each other. There relationship is growing in depth and strength and despite it getting them into trouble they are not prepared to leave each other. As always the romance is not the main focus of the plot, but it is important and their emotions are a vital part of the story.

The plot was complicated and fast moving and the book was over very quickly, despite it’s number of pages. KN Banet always manages to suck me into her books and only lets me go when I hit the acknowledgments at the back, this book was no exception.

Once again, I’m left hungry for more books in this series as I really love Jacky as a character. She’s brave, strong and at the same time vulnerable. Her humanity is still with her as she was changed 10 years ago and sometimes the emotions she brought with her into her new life have the power to hurt her still. Her love for Heath and his daughter is tender and strong and she will defend it with everything she has. In particular, I enjoy her struggles with providing the right kind of support and advice to the teenager when she isn’t Carey’s mother and she doesn’t want to step on Heath’s toes and say the wrong thing. As much as she wants to support Heath’s decisions as a parent she also wants to make sure that Carey has someone she can always be honest with. It’s a fine line to walk and I really enjoy that aspect of this character.

I can’t wait to read what happens in the next book as though there is no cliffhanger, there are will definitely be consequences for how this book ends.

This was just outstanding, yet again.

I have adored Jack's character arc throughout this series and watching her grow into the woman she was in thi shook was very rewarding. She finally knows exactly what, or who, she wants and she is prepared to fight for it.

As usual, the world building is rich and immersive and we get the added bonus of a cross over with the other tribunal series. I don't want to say too much on that, as there is so much spoilery action that happens, but I loved seeing these characters in a different context.

For Jacky and Heath fans, this book has them on a mission together, so with each other the whole time. There are also some wonderful developments with them, too.

Basically, Banet is the Queen and I adore this series!

I loved everything about this latest instalment of this series, I particularly loved the crossover of the two series as we got to see another side of Cassius & Sorcha, also a lot more background to the fae.
I am already looking forward to the next book and the continuing story of Jackie & Heath plus all of the other characters connected to their world.
The mark of a great book for me personally is if I lose time to it, I read this in one day, I ignored life & jobs etc , just sat & read and enjoyed 😉

I really like Jacky and Heath and this book pushed the story on with a cross over of some characters - and a wow I wasn't expecting that moment. I've pre-ordered the next and do think it's some of the best out there currently and I'm forever recommending to the urban fantasy book page on Facebook.

This novel is full of twisting word play and scheming Fae. We finally have a true crossover between the Jackie and Kaliya series and it's a doozy! The plot thickens and like always with Jackie we can see trouble ahead, can't wait to see how they'll get themselves out of this one
