I do love fiction books. I might love other genres more, but fiction is the genre that gives me so much. Good writing, good stories and well just a good genre.

This is actually book 3, but that does not show. It's a perfectly good standalone novel that shows us the life of Velva Jean as she in 1944 flies over the Atlantic. She is a Wasp, one of the forgotten of the WWII. The book shows what women did in the war. Velva Jean is brave and wonderful. She goes to France to find her brother. She goes into a warzone cos of family. And to be a tool of war.

I have heard about the Wasps, the women pilots of the war. But I never knew much and they struggled. The men were not happy, no one was really happy. Not that there is much flying, no, instead there is spying, and danger.

The book is well written and there is this tone over the book that I liked. Velva thinks, feels, and well it just have to be read.

A great book about forgotten heroines. ( )

Love this series and love this character! This is my third read with Velva Jean and am now currently on the fourth as an early reviewer of American Blonde. It's a page turner. Highly recommended. ( )

I have read so few books that I can't put down, that when I finished this one, I ordered everything the author had written. What a good example for all of us, men and women alike to follow. I will preface this by saying that I listened to this book, and enjoyed the narrator. ( )

This novel is the third in the Velva Jean series by author Jennifer Niven. She continues the heartfelt but incredible journey of Velva Jean. In the first book, we saw her grow up and into herself. In the second book, she literally earned her wings, becoming a pilot.
In this third book, Velva Jean continues that mission.

Velva Jean is a Wasp pilot, in the Women’s Air Service Pilot Corps. It is 1944, and her mission is transporting pilots from the United States to England. She is also searching for her brother, Johnny, missing in action since D-Day.

While carrying supplies, her plane goes down, crashing in Nazi-occupied France. An undercover French spy comes to her assistance. Velva Jean enters the world of espionage taking her to Paris, France and across the French countryside in search of justice and freedom.

Not only has Velva Jean honed her craft, so has Jennifer Niven. She has again written a well detailed, very intense novel. This is an amazing story of WWII espionage, women in the Armed Forces, history, geography, romance, and intrigue. Yet, this is also about love, family, patriotism, and a woman being true to self and what she believes, no matter what. ( )
