Renamed Jessie Tacket, Emily Brelin has been adopted by Detective Victoria Tacket who although apprised of Jessie’s supernatural ability, doesn’t yet comprehend the depth of Jessie’s covert training. Detective Tacket is bent upon protecting and rehabilitating her 14-year-old charge, but Jessie knows her former handler, the nefarious General, is on her trail, and all connected to her are in more danger than they can understand. When murder and mayhem ensues, Jesse must find a way to protect her protector.
In Tangled, the heroine, Jessie continues to dazzle readers with her intellectual and tactical skills while battling Russian mobsters and confounding Federal agents. This installment expands upon the imaginative plot featuring this 14-year-old superhero. Jessie’s newfound faith helps her deal with the intense guilt and loneliness that she bears as she tries to integrate into normal teen life. And there is nice character development as the author alternates between Jessie Tacket, (Emily Brelin’s new name) and Detective Victoria Tacket. Tangled, the second of this serial novel compels readers to get book three.
