First I will say I have sort of an author crush on Heather. I bought all of her other books because when I read two of her books I new I had to read the rest.
This story was a thriller! It opens with Neena escaping from jail. She is on the run, climbing through the forest, swimming the swamps in the bayou and scaring the crap out of me.It takes a while to find out why she was in prison. That is a BIG part of the mystery, it makes you turn the pages faster. At the end of her journey you will live through her heartache and fear again. It is very emotional. As far as the cops and jail is concerned she was dead, eaten by the gators. Unofficially, she ran into a wonderful family the Torres family took her in after she worked picking vegetable beside them. They all accepted her as a part of their own without asking any questions. It turns out everyone has a past that is just that past. In the small town, she meets Charlie the hot lawyer in the small town. Immediately he is taken by her. He is surprised too because his wife left him and his daughter Cara so he didn’t think romance for a long time. Right away Cara and Neena become a family.
Life couldn’t be more happier for Neena. Of course she is always haunted and her past catches up to her. The thriller starts again. The truth about Neena and her past come to surface. It was a great book. It showed a lot of history between the reservation, American Indians and how they live separated from a lot of American life.
Jailbird is thriller, suspense, and a great romance all wrapped up. I was drawn by Neena and her survival instincts. The best part was the strong families she encountered on the way through her journey.
Please read it!! Get Heather and stalk her, let her know she is great!!
