Publisher's summary

On the very day that Jacky Faber is to wed her true love, she is kidnapped by British Naval Intelligence and forced to embark on yet another daring mission--this time to search for sunken Spanish gold. But when Jacky is involved, things don't always go as planned. Jacky has survived battles on the high seas, the stifling propriety of a Boston finishing school, and even confinement in a dank French prison. But no adventure has quite matched her opportunistic street-urchin desires - until now!

Set sail again and again with Bloody Jack.

great book, great narrator

love it, love it, can't wait for more of it!!!!go jackie!!!!! love the songs

The Best!

Katherine Kellgren gives an exceptional performance. A rollicking good listen. Jacky Fabre does not disappoint

The fun.continues

Another worldly trip with Jacky that leaves you gasping and laugjing for more. How does one person find so much trouble!

Better and Better!

How often does such a series of books come along? I know there is no such thing as a "perfect" anything (other than God, of course), but this series of books comes as close to it as can be. Without a doubt, the books are greatly enhanced by the reading performed by Kathryn Kelgren, who does an extraordinary job with the voices and the singing. She has a beautiful voice! She doesn't read the book - she performs for the listener!

This is a series that I will listen to over and over throughout the years. I am also purchasing the actual written books for increased flexibility in reading.

What can I say - I would gladly and truthfully give these books a 10-star rating if possible.

Everyone would enjoy these books - old, not-so-old, and young alike. I just wish there were more books out there like them!

Such a great story

As always a joy to listen to I can't wait to hear what happens next. I so enjoy the narrator. I don't know that Jacky will ever have a happy ending.

Marvelous Narration

I love Katherine Kellgren's accents of the different characters, especially the warm, caring accent of Jemima. Her narration of the humorous adventures of that larger than life character, Jacky Faber, is superb.

Katherine Kellgren makes Jacky come to life

Another amazing performance by Katherine Kellgren and a fine story. Jacky Faber to the rescue again.

favorite book

I love this series! Rapture of the Deep is one of my favorite books in the series.

Jacky adds "Mermaid" to her resume'!

In this seventh book of the Bloody Jack series, listeners will not be disappointed. More crazy luck and unpredictable situations abound. Jacky's new "job" involves salvaging gold from a famous shipwreck, and Jacky is the only "member" of the British Royal Navy who will "volunteer" and can get the job done right . . . almost. Plus, you will find out who her pirate friends are, i.e. those who think of Jacky in a romantic way (men, I swear!), and her pirate enemies, i.e. those who wish her dead, and attempt to make it true. And, Jacky saves the day--again--[sigh] for the Royal Navy. Do they ever get tired of being shown up by a girl? Plus there's cock fighting! And, Jacky and Jaimy are closer than ever to being married, but wait--not so fast!
Did I mention Jacky is reasonably fluent in Spanish? Did I mention she expands her growing circle of admirers (and haters)? Did I mention the cock fighting?
The only reason I give this four stars for story and overall is because I am comparing it to the other books in the series, and a couple of the others are definitely my favorites. So, while this is not my favorite book in the series, it is still an excellent listen, and superbly read by Katherine Kellgren. If I could give TEN stars for performance, I would!
By the way, if you are already a fan of this series, check out the free Audible download of reader Katherine Kellgren interviewing author L.A. Meyer. Lots of insight and fascinating facts!

I just love Jacky

I just listened to the story for the 2nd or maybe third time. I had no idea there was an interview of LA Meijer at the end of the story. I just listened to it and I love it!
