Hadena James began writing at the age of eight. As a teenager, she had several short stories published in literary magazines. She completed writing her first novel at the age of 17. Hadena graduated from the University of Missouri with a degree in European History with minors in German and Russian studies. She has always wanted to be a writer so she also took several classes in creative writing.
Hadena’s primary literary genre is action/thriller. She currently writes two series, both use action/thriller. “The Brenna Strachan Series” uses fantasy and the “Dreams & Reality Series” uses murder mystery as its secondary genre. She continues to explore and expand her writing and hopes to soon produce a comedic action/thriller.
When she isn’t busy writing or running her business, Hadena enjoys playing in a steel-tip dart league. She also loves to travel throughout North America and Europe. Her favorite cities are Chicago, Illinois and Berlin, Germany. She is an avid reader, reading everything from the classics like Jane Austen to modern writers like Terry Pratchett. One of her all-time favorite books is “Good Omens” by Neil Gaimen and Terry Pratchett. She writes all of her books while listening to music and the bands tend to get “honorable mentions” within the pages.
This may be my favorite Strachan novel yet! I can see the growth of the characters as well as the increasing sensation of impending doom. I don't always enjoy writing Brenna Strachan because she is such a pessimist (who is obsessed with donuts), but I didn't have that problem with this novel. As a matter of fact, I managed to fall into a stride with her and that ran all the way to the end.
How Brenna gets herself into the situations she does, is crazy. Guess we have the authors imagination to blame, but that just makes it a good read. This is the third book in this series and the action and adventure continues. We get to see the Island and meet some new characters. Brenna gets in all kinds of trouble, which is no surprise to the rest of the family. The family plays a big role in this installment, and Jasmine makes a few appearances.
Overall, I gave this book five stars, because the editing has improved considerably. It is full of Brenna's witty retorts and sarcasm, plus everyone else's humor and witty responses to Brenna. There is plenty of action, mixed with possibly dangerous adventures, and of course a few surprises. The descriptions of the island and prison are done so well, that you can actually form a good detailed picture in you mind. I do like Hadena James' world of Brenna Strachan, and she goes about telling us about it. I really enjoyed this book and am looking forward to the last in the series.
Hadena James is just crazy good. I'm usually more into serial killer series like her Dreams and Reality series. I so fell in love with that series I had to try more. Even though I thought this might be too over the top for me, nope the crazy good is still there. I'm so hooked I may go broke buying absolutely every HJ story I can find.
The third installment of the Brenna Strachan Series is my favorite, intense story line and development of characters and plot lines is intriguing and enticing. I read it from start to finish in one sitting.
