Brave by Jennifer L. Armentrout
5.0
This could be my favourite Jennifer L Armentrout series to date! Everything I loved about the previous books is here, and then some. The action, drama, twists, and romance make for an incredible reading experience, and one that boils down to simple, enticing fun.
Ivy's arc goes to a dark place in the beginning, and I actually really liked watching her struggle with her Fae side. I understood her anxieties and fears, though it pained me to see her go through them alone. This created some harrowing moments and led to drama with Ren and Tink. Both of those characters also had great development. Ren worked to become more understanding and Tink developed into his own, rambunctious self.
The story took on a bunch of different plot lines, but they all led to great moments. Plot points were wrapped up and the characters moved onto a new danger and adventure. This also meant there were great twists and surprises waiting for them, and I was genuinely shocked at some of the revelations. Though I wish we lingered on one, since it kind of made the ending feel rushed and convenient.
As for the romance, it remained steamy and packed with chemistry. I really liked the direction Ivy and Ren went, and they are one of my favourite JLA couples.
This series is everything I expect in a JLA book: Simple and pure fun. This is what I read to relax and escape, and it's fun, spunky characters, action, and solid prose provide that in spades. I had a great time reading this book and recommend it to all readers of JLA, new, or old, and to lovers of paranormal/urban fantasy romance. Get it today!
