Viva Jacquelina!: Being an Account of the Further Adventures
of Jacky Faber, Over the Hills and Far Away (Bloody Jack #10) by L.A. Meyer
narrated by, Katherine Kellgren
Oh Jacky! Again men just can’t help being drawn to her! I
think my favorite part is when she eats the mushrooms and has a whole
conversation with Brother Frog and of course since our Jacky is always thinking
and after she comes down from her high she saves some of these mushrooms to use
at a later time. And when she does it is hilarious!!! She ends up being the
inventor of Purple haze!
Our Jacky also finds herself in her own version of the Girl
with the Pearl Earring and running with the bulls. Oh and gets herself caught
up in the inquisition too! I think Jacky found her long lost family in the
gypsies too she fit in so well with them!
As usual Jacky finds herself caught in bad situations and
meets famous people, but there was something different about this book, Jacky seemed
a bit more mature and although she does want to get to Jamie it isn’t all encompassing
as it has been in past books, and Jamie was a bit more secondary in this one.
She meets a lot of new people, yes she still runs into people she knows but not
as many as in past books and she didn’t have Higgins with her which I missed.
And the ending was very abrupt but it sounds like everyone is headed to Boston
so I guess we will see if Jacky & Jamie ever do get together. I love this
series but I think I do see the end in sight which is sad but I’d hate to see
this series run into the ground by having too many books, this is a series that
you can read over and over again so it’s not like I can’t go back and visit
Jacky anytime I want to.
Katy Kellgren makes these books even better with her perfect
narration and singing, yes, lots & lots of singing and in many different
languages & styles and she pulls it off with seeming ease. It's a
rollicking good time and as always Katherine Kellgren's narration is
perfection!
Loved it as usual but I want the next one NOW!
