Freedom's Child book review.

                                    Freedom's Child.


This is a book review on a book called Freedom's Child A Novel by Jax Miller. 

Freedom’s Child is a wonderful authentic and addictive read. I dove right into this book every free moment I had and did not want to stop reading, its dark,  and has the most amazing main protagonist, someone you will get right behind.

Freedom is in witness protection, she wonders through the days and nights, missing her children and taking no nonsense. When her daughter goes missing she sets off to find her, stalked by her husband’s family there is danger every step of the way.

Jax Miller writes with a wild abandon that fits her characters and settings perfectly to the point. She amazingly knows how to imagine on the edge to how she puts things across, enveloping the reader in the tale completely, making Freedom’s Child a really really great reading experience, one that will stay with you long after finishing.

 The Delaney’s  a family of trouble, but the most entertaining trouble ever  they were perfectly drawn – primitively savage with an underlying intelligence that made them so beautifully dangerous.

Freedom herself is flawed, unlikable, distinctly random and sometimes really nasty – but that won’t stop you loving her. Thumbs up to the author for not feeling the need to tone her down, or give her a genial vulnerability just because she is a woman. She is a raw, from the hip, realistic female lead, as such this novel has raised the level when it comes to writing strong female characters.

I won’t give anything away as to how it all pans out, but overall this is a tense, absorbing read with a restless energy about it that appealed to me completely – I hope to meet Freedom again one day, but whatever happens I’m fairly sure I’m sticking with this author for life.

Loved it. Highly Recommended.
