This second book in Nicole Peeler's Jane True series is better than the first. Jane's world has now been established, and that gives this novel a solid base to start from.
Tracking the Tempest begins with human-selkie halfling Jane back at home in the rural town of Rockabill, caring for her ill father, working at the local bookstore, and struggling to negotiate a long-distance relationship with her boyfriend (her blood-sucking sith boyfriend - who works as a sort of paranormal police inspector). It's Valentine's Day and Ryu surprises Jane with a plane ticket to join him Boston. With a romantic reunion planned, what could possibly go wrong?
Well, pretty much everything as it turns out. Because Ryu's latest investigation, into a fire demon-human halfling is about to turn explosive. Conleth, the ifret in question had been raised from a baby in a lab... becoming a guinea pig under a regime whose intentions seemed to have more to do with torture than science. This sent the halfling mad, and now he has escaped and is bringing an incendiary end to the lives of his former captors. Worse, it seems that Conleth has identified the inspector who has been sent to hunt him down and stop him - and developed a more than passing interest in that inspector's girlfriend...
There is quite a lot going on here and though the story stands up reasonably well alone, it does help to have read the first book in the series as quite a few plot threads carry over from book 1. I was pleased that Jane had started to find her feet in the supernatural world, standing up for herself a bit more and beginning to ask questions about the nature of her relationship with Ryu: I'm never terribly convinced by novels where the heroine is given her first (knowing) introduction to a supernatural male and immediately falls for him. There's plenty more from Anyan - a more than worthy rival for Jane's affections, and one who has been supporting her for a long time, even though she hadn't known it.
4.5/5

Jane's supernatural heritage was uncovered in book 1 of this series "Tempest Rising" and her resulting adventures landed her a deadly and powerful enemy. On the up side, Jane snagged herself a super hot vampire boyfriend, ended up with some great supernatural friends and proved herself to not be completely useless in a secret world she has no understanding of.
In this book, her boyfriend Ryu is pressuring Jane into moving from Rockabill to shack up with him. Yes Jane isn't happy with their current long distance set up and takes pains not to think of who Ryu may be feeding from when she isn't around. Yet she's committed to looking after her dad and she isn't willing to abandon her life in Rockabill for a man she isn't sure she's in love with.
Alongside Jane's personal dramas, it's action all the way as another Halfling makes his presence felt. Unfortunately Conleth has undergone brutal experimentation and is left unstable, plus his fiery killing sprees against those that hurt him don't exactly work in his favour. Fixated with Jane, he has plans to produce a new supernatural race and she's the lucky girl he has his eye on.
Jane really begins to prove herself in her new world. She's dealing with old enemy Jarl, his new underlings who are supposedly assisting in the search for Conleth, fitting in sporadic magical training and regular bedroom sessions with Ryu, and finally revealing her full abilities. Halflings may be considered the lowlife of the supernatural world, yet when Jane delves into the full scope of her power, beware those that stand in her way. Again NP has created an action packed and steamy paranormal romance. The relationships between Jane, Ryu and another potential love interest Anyan are interesting, the magical elements entertaining and the face offs with a variety of villains exciting.

I was really looking forward to this one after the first and I wasn't disappointed. We're plunged straight into a training session with Nell the gnome, as Jane works on understanding and controlling her powers, and this is Peeler starting as she means to go on: no filler, no excess of recap, all story. The majority of the plot is, essentially, a crime thriller but don't worry - there are also developments in the romance plotline.
Again, the humour and characterisation are brilliant and what (for me) really stand out. Supernatural elements notwithstanding, all of Peeler's characters are convincing. Many of those familiar from Tempest Rising develop during the course of this novel, and we also get the pleasure of making new friends - and enemies of course. I was particularly pleased to see more of Anyan the barghest, and I'm sure there's more of him to come. This is not one of those series that feels formulaic and lacks character progression.
Overall, I've really enjoyed these masterful novels and would recommend them to anyone who enjoys urban fantasy and supernatural mysteries.
