Life of Recovery By Samantha Jacobey Book Review


If you are looking for a damsel in distress or a cutest helpless female in need of saving  then this is not the book for you at all. If you are looking for heroine that is flawed,honest and can take care of herself then look no farther. Slight spoilers in my review
  The book starts out with Tori Farrell in the aftermath of her escape from a crime cartel with unimaginable power and reach. Tori was raised and trained by a group mercenary bikers called the Dragons from a very early age. She has suffered more horrendous torture at the hands of her “family” than any one person should ever have to endure.She had to either learn to survive or die a very painful death.She chose to live.
 Then we have Eli,the FBI agent in charge of her case. Eli is enamored with Tori from almost the beginning. Which causes him some conflicting emotions later in the story. Eli is a good guy and Tori is not. She can’t be from what she lived through and the things she had to do. Tori is smart and resourceful but she is not good with emotions other than anger. She has never had anyone to be nice to her much less care for her the way Eli does.This makes her doubt Eli’s actions. At the end of the book we are left with a lot of unanswered questions that as Ms. Jacobey told us would be answered in following books. I am eagerly waiting on the next one.
 The transition from dialogue to action scenes was smoothly done. It was very easy to read Ms. Jacobey writing.The words seemed to flow off the page. I had no trouble picturing Tori’s world.
  Now with all of that being said I did have a couple issues with the book that I didn't like. When Tori was telling what she went through with  the Dragons she also told things that other people were feeling or thinking. How did Tori know what they were thinking or feeling? Its not even a real big deal just a irksome thing to me. There is some other small things but I don’t want to give away any more spoilers that I already have.
