I've read all the Bloody Jack books so far as audio books and I'm so glad I have. Katherine Kellgren really makes Jacky come alive! She gets into the characters and it's not just a person reading a book, but an actress playing the part. Not to give away too much, but I cried right along with Jacky when the ship went down. I don't think I would have enjoyed the series nearly as much if I was reading a physical copy of the book. In her third adventure, Mary "Jacky" Faber returns to England, determined to reunite with her dear Jaimy after trying and failing to become a "lady" at finishing school in Boston. Dressed as a boy to gain access to the grounds without an escort, she sees Jaimy with another girl and flees, only to be press-ganged and finds herself involved in the Napoleonic wars, on a ship patrolling the English Channel. Jacky's over-the-top adventures are fun and light reading. Katherine Kellgren does a phenomenal job narrating the series, from Jacky's first-person account to the various Irish, English, American, and French accents that the series calls for. I've discovered I'm not a huge fan of the adventure genre and would probably rather stick with a straightforward historical fiction rather than second-guessing whether a girl of that time would really ____ (fill in the blank with the latest twist and turn in the story), but it's entertaining when I'm in the right mood.

I sometimes wish I could edit out the sexual violence parts so that I could recommend these books to younger readers. But it's (sadly) realistic that a girl like Jacky would face many threats to her maidenhood. ( )
