The secrets of Jane is literally about the secrets of Jane. You have Jane, who is taken by Soren, a Zenith from skull row to bring her back to face the council. There are secrets and prophecies at play in the book. But the one thing we do know is Soren and Jane have their fates linked. Where she goes, he goes. No matter the distance. 

I loved how she built Soren’s power. How he would always find her quite amazing. 

Right from the get-go these two MCs have intense chemistry. It’s chaotic chemistry. 

There is a plot in this book and I ate it up. There was so much happening I was fascinated. You have pirates, witches, sirens, gladiators, magic, twist and turns that have you wanting to finish the book. I read it in one sitting. It was delicious. Soren, a mercenary and an empath and Jane, a healer, put aside their differences to work together. 

I have so many questions and the cliffhanger just brought out some more questions. Definitely reading book 2 for the answers.
