Jagged Thorns by January James
4.0
"I like it here. The Isle of Crow is beautiful. It deserves to be seen.
First things first, THAT CLIFFHANGER! Ugh. [a:January James|20464975|January James|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1634886863p2/20464975.jpg] you're torturing me! It cannot end that way!
Let's back up though. I can understand why Vivian applied for this job. It was what she felt she needed to do. So while yay for getting a job on this mysterious island, I can also imagine how difficult it was for her to leave home. Only to be thrust into this new location, this new job, and know no one. All this for one reason. Then there is Rupert. He is determined to push back as much as he is able to get away with. That is his focus. That whole married by 27 thing isn't even at the front of his mind. Stopping his brother, or at least slowing him down, is.
I really liked the instant connection that Rupert felt with Vivian. It was very hate to love, and I'm here for it. I love the mysteriousness of the island. I love how January had me hating Ossian early on. I'm intrigued by Minty. She seems like a good sidekick. I have many questions regarding the consortium. Okay fine, I just have many questions, and the consortium part is just one.
Now I will say that the first quarter of this book was a struggle for me. I get that a new world is being created, these characters need to be introduced, and the stage needs to be set. Yet at the same time it was a lot to get through. Once that was done though, or at least the majority of it was done, the book became really interesting. I found myself looking at all the details to try and figure out what was happening, as well as who could be behind it.
I need the next book as soon as possible, because I need to know what happens after that cliffhanger. That was intense, and I have so many questions!
