• My Bonny Light Horseman Review

  Jacky Faber is back on the continent gaining glory, admirers and enemies by the dozens. We last left Jacky in a state of contentment, reunited with her Jaimy with plans to marry, and crossing the seas trading coal and ballasts for Faber Shipping Worldwide but good things never last for our favorite adventuress. Finally she’s…

• Mississippi Jack Review

  I last left Jacky Faber free from the vicious slaveship Bloodhound only to be taken into British custody just as she was about to reunite with Jaimy Fletcher. Luckily, a masterful performance by the faithful Higgins gets her out of that bind. Unfortunately, she can’t hide out in her beloved Boston with all the authorities…

• Under the Jolly Roger Review

  The third book in the Bloody Jack series by L.A. Meyer wastes no time in bringing readers back to the fold of Jacky’s wild adventures. We start with the classic, “Call me, Ismael” because lo and behold, Jacky is on the Pequod with Captain Ahab and Ismael!

• Curse of the Blue Tattoo Review

  Starting right after Jacky is taken off the deck of the Dolphin, she is sent to Boston’s Peabody Lawson’s School for Young Ladies. The proper place for a female, but not the proper place for Jacky. Even though she’s determined to become a proper lady for her dear midshipman, Jaimy, our favorite sailor is meant…

• Bloody Jack Review

  Ah yes, the first in L.A Meyer’s ship-faring, sailor girl series. I actually have this series before, and by read, I meant skimmed. So while I knew the basics of the plot, this is my first time actually reading it, and I enjoyed it very much.
