Brutally Beautiful

I will state right away that this book/series will not be everyone’s cup of tea. It is dark. It is violent. It is disturbing. It will haunt you. And it is amazing.

I have had this series on my TBR for months, and have gotten to know the author through her Facebook page, events, and street team. I have read her latest, Summer Angel, and was definitely impressed with it. I didn’t know exactly what to expect, but I have been wanting to sink my teeth into this series after reading teasers and comments for months. I signed up to host a spot on her blog tour next month, so I finally had an excuse to move binging on the whole series to the top of my list.

Tori Farrell has no idea who she really is and has very good reasons for not trusting anyone. This first book in the series finds her barely alive in a house full of murdered bikers. She wakes in a hospital with three unknown men, who we soon find out are FBI agents who want to pick her brain for information. The story that slowly unfolds is unbelievably brutal, but is told in a very powerful way and somehow shows Tori’s incredible strength as anything but the broken victim you would expect someone who had gone through a tiny percentage of what she has to be. No matter what she has done, you want to find a way to give her the childhood she missed, even though in her almost serene realism about her situation, she accepts that this simply is not possible. Few literary characters I have ever befriended are so deserving of a happily ever after, and I am certainly on board for the next six books in the series to find out if she can achieve a semblance of one.

Amongst many other thoughts and feelings on this book, I want to mention that it is extremely well written and edited. I don’t give 5-star reviews lightly, but I feel this has earned them, no matter how difficult emotionally it may be to read. As hard as it is to wrap my head around such an ugly story coming from such a sweet and beautiful woman I am getting to know, I may be most amazed at the light and hope she manages to weave into such a horrific tale. In some ways, I am glad to have waited so long to jump into this, because I don’t have to wait months or years to see what comes next – book two in the series is queued up to start now. I foresee my reviews for the rest of the series coming very quickly, as I just have to know what comes next for Tori.

Definitely for mature audiences only. Explicit violence, abuse, and sexual situations.

This is a compelling story of abuse, rebirth, and emergence.

The story carries you along teasing you with the promise of details. You eagerly push forward anxious to learn more. The author does not disappoint and you are gratified. When the story ends you are satisfied, but still want more. I’m keeping this review short because I’m in a hurry to start book 2!

My Favorite, So Far

This is how good the author is – she got me to read all three books (thus far) in a day and a half because I ended up staying up late late late to get as far as I could. This third in the series is my favorite, so far. It was really good to relax a bit with the heroine as she continues to grow and learn how to function in a world she knew nothing about. She is wise in so many ways and still innocent in others as she goes about setting up her *normal* life.

She hooks up with the hero (in this book) and here is the author’s gifting – about halfway through, you begin to feel your heart start to pound a little faster in anticipation because you KNOW the other shoe is about to drop. Nothing tells you that as you live with the heroine’s day-to-day activities but the author has written in “looming doom” without you even realizing it. As you’re reading along, you are actually waiting… waiting… because it is coming. You know it. It “almost” ruins the story because you want to skip ahead and see what happens so you can calm down and enjoy the story – but you don’t. You force yourself to take it one page at a time.

Sure there is another stinking cliffhanger. And sure it makes you go “grrr” because you have invested so much time in this amazing story, but if you are like me, you will tell yourself that you are willing to wait until JUNE for the 4th book. I don’t wanna wait, but unfortunately, I HAVE TO KNOW what is going to happen. Maybe I will wait until the entire series is written because it IS hard to read one book every few months hoping nothing happens to stop the continuation of the story.

Yep, obviously, the author hooked me, for sure.

Avenged and More

Tori and the gang get their revenge in a well-plotted adventure. I find it hard to write a review without giving away too much so let me just say Samantha Jacobey does an excellent job of tying up all the loose ends from the series. I highly recommend this series to anyone who likes a rip-roaring good yarn.

Never A Dull Moment! Love it!

Samantha Jacobey continues to amaze me. She’s written a character who keeps me on the edge of my seat book after book and wondering what kind of trouble Tori will get herself into next.

“Can Tori and Michael’s relationship really last when she gets unexpected news that someone from her past is in needs her help?” – Indelible (A New Life Book, 5) by Samantha Jacobey

 

Tori Farrell’s path has been a long one. She was raised by a Motorcycle Gang called the Dragons, trained as an assassin, and lived by the sword in a world consisting of drugs, sex, violence, and murder. She made her escape and even successfully thwarted a second attempt to draw her back in. Returning to her safe new life, Tori faces unforeseen challenges, as the discovery of her Rock Star relation, Brian Madson, gives way to the desire to have the life she was born to live. Haunted by fear, and caught in a fierce battle between her husband and brother, she must learn to accept her dark past and face her future boldly. The FBI and The Organization still linger in the shadows, and time is creeping forward, pushing her to choose. Which path will she take, and where will it lead, when she is forced to decide between destiny and fate…

Sassy Southern Book Blog ReviewBy b1ond1e25

Indelible by Samantha Jacobey is the fifth book in The New Life Series.

This book picks up where Exposed left off. Tori has been trying to settle into her new life. She now has Michael by her side, and some of the questions from her past have been answered. This now brings a new set of problems for Tori. She now has a brother that is a rock star, and he has seen her play the guitar and wants her to join the band. But Tori’s fears keep her from seeing how good she really is. Michael just wants things to go back to the way they were. She wants to settle down and have a normal life since she was robbed of one as a child. But just when you think things are going good, she is thrown into yet another set of problems. Can Tori and Michael’s relationship really last when she gets unexpected news that someone from her past is in needs her help? I have loved this whole series so far and can’t wait to see what Samantha has in store for the next book.
