Between The Pages - Jagged Feathers

Jagged Feathers 
Jan Sikes 
January 2022 

Vann Noble did his duty. He served his country and returned a shell of a man, wounded inside and out. With a missing limb and battling PTSD, he seeks healing in an isolated cabin outside a small Texas town with a stray dog that sees beyond his master's scars. If only the white rune's magic can bring a happily ever after to a man as broken as Vann. 

On the run from hired killers and struggling to make sense of her unexplained deadly mission, Nakina Bird seeks refuge in Vann's cabin. She has secrets. Secrets that can get them all killed. 

A ticking clock and long odds of living or dying, create jarring risks. Will these two not only survive but find unexpected love along the way? Or, will evil forces win and destroy them both? 

Between The Pages 
The beautiful cover had me wanting to read this book, which is the second book in The White Rune Series, and while I prefer to start a series from the beginning, nothing significant is missed in the storyline with Vann and Nakina. The author adds snippets of information of what happened in the first book, Ghostly Interference, leaving Jagged Feathers to flow well on its own. The author grabs your attention in the first chapter and holds it throughout the story. The premise of a broken soldier finding his purpose isn’t new, but the author puts a unique spin to her storyline that is quite enjoyable. Vann and Nakina have a captivating romance that grows with the turn of every page. Vann’s dog, Champion, was a highlight in the story for me, as were the ‘signs’ and Nakina’s visions. The action and suspense are well-developed, and just when you think the dust has settled, the author gives the reader what they’ve been waiting for with a confrontation of action. The ending is sweet and has you smiling when Van gives the rune to a friend, which will have you anxious for book three. I highly recommend reading Jagged Feathers.
