Thieftaker by D.B. Jackson

4.0

I loved this book! It had all of the components I love in a book - historical fiction with a paranormal twist, mystery, adventure, and....best of all...Colonial America!!! This was an entertaining read that got the historical details right (or at least close enough to be non distracting). My main criticism in this book was the female antagonist. She was the one part of the book that was unbelievable and too distracting from the heart of the story. Every time she came into the story I kept thinking....this feels like I am stepping into a renaissance fairs. You know those Ren Faire wenches that wear pants, hang with pirates, plot against the queen, and kick butt fight on the human chess board? That's what I felt this character was and it just didn't fit with the rest of the characters, the time, or the place of this book. Still, I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
