love the series!

I love the Bloody Jack series and is tread sk wonderfully! Hate that I have to include 15 words for a review.

I love Jacky's adventures!

Would you listen to Viva Jacquelina! again? Why?

No, I don't usually listen to books twice...but I LOVE Jacky Faber!

What about Katherine Kellgren’s performance did you like?

Katherine Kellgren is, without a doubt, one of the best voice artists ever! She IS Jacky Faber. I seek out books narrated by Katherine.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No, only because I hate it when the book is over, so I stretch them out.

Any additional comments?

This may not be the best in the Jacky Faber series, but I enjoyed it very much. Jacky has become like an old friend and I very much enjoy her adventures. She is my favorite literary heroine and I will continue to buy as long as L.A Meyer continues to write!

Our Spanish princess.

A great adventure in Spain. This one reminds me a bit of My Bonny Light Horseman. I especially got a good laugh when Jacky finds the mushrooms. Jacky without a doubt either has the worst luck or the best luck. I guess it all depends on where you are on the grand scheme of things. The last book I liked the first half and didn’t like the second half due to the whole Jamie debacle. I am a bit over that storyline. As usual the narrator is one of the best, she does a great job at making the story exciting and full of life.

Great, but left me wanting more.

This story was as great as all the previous ones, with one exception. The ending. I felt a little cheated. I think the story should have continued for one more chapter. But it does leave me breathlessly waiting for the next book, as ususal. Katherine Kellgren was awesome, as I have come to expect.

If possible

Any additional comments?

It felt like it was written quickly, a little incomplete . I was let down at the end , figuring there would a follow up novel right away. Still love this series though.
