Pre-warning if you don't read the other 7 books in this series you may be lost... (This reviewer managed to read them all in a few days to give an accurate review of this book. The original post was due on Friday, September 26th but...) This is an overview review of the series as well as this boo...
After the events of the last book, Jane is really due a vacation. Unfortunately, there's no rest for the wicked as Master of the City, Leo, has been petitioned by the Vampires of Ashville, NC to consider allowing their leader, Lincoln Shaddock to form his own clan. Their argument is their line is...
Holy. Crap. If you read my review of Book 4 - Raven Cursed - you will know I felt it went a little too "all over the place" towards the end and suffered from "Book 4 problems." All has been forgiven in Faith Hunter's fifth book in the Jane Yellowrock series, Death's Rival. This is such a tightly ...
It was a wild ride,,,and mostly very enjoyable.But....It took Jane soooo long to figure out that Molly's disappearance was connected with the other disappearances she was investigating. Even given the forget/don't notice magic at work and Shiloh's appearance, and Jack's witch/vamp magic - STILL I...
Faith Hunter has a wonderful imagination, and it has never shone through more clearly than in this book. With her talent in world-building and creating full, rich characters, Faith has written a series that is an absolute joy to read. If you enjoy urban fantasy with a kick-ass female protagonist,...
This is a great collection of short stories best read between Mercy Blade and Raven Cursed (Book 3 and 4) of the Jane Yellowrock series. Raven Cursed starts out hard and heavy with Jane back in North Carolina (as planned at the end of book 3) but it also throws in some information about Rick LeFl...
3.5 stars. I decided to revisit this series even though I wasn't that impressed with book 1. I saw that the ratings for each book in the series improve and in my experience that is always a good sign.I definitely enjoyed this more than book 1. I like the mystery plot and the mythology behind Jane...
3.5 - 4 starsI was recently introduced in this series (thanks for the rec, Skandia!) and I'm totally hooked. The second installment in the Jane Yellowrock series was nearly as good as the first one and provided a lot of info about vampire culture. Jane takes another job in New Orleans to hunt tho...
I’ve liked the Jane Yellowrock books from the get-go, but it was this book that propelled it to the top of my reading list- Mercy Blade is an excellent book, the best one yet.For the time being, Jane has settled down in New Orleans so she can fulfill her contract with the vamps and be closer to h...
Realistically this is more like 4 1/2 stars, but I'm going to err on the side of overly-critical this time. This is a solid 4th book in an ongoing series, but I feel like it does suffer a bit from "4th book problems" as a whole. I'm not sure if that's a technical term but I usually find that the ...
I enjoyed the previous books more. Jane seemed a lot whinier in this book...not at all like the previous books, although it's been an increasing trend. More convenient "forgetting" of important details to crank up the drama. I liked Jane as a protagonist a lot more in the first book. I think it's...
This is a book by Faith Hunter with a few short-stories from Jane Yellowrock universe. I’m not going to write a review for each short-story because I don’t think that there is a point doing this, as I’ve said before. I just want to write a few words for this series that I like so much.Darker than...
Like most anthologies it's a mixed bag. 3-3.5 stars overall"Forked Tongues" by Rachel CaineGood story. I've read another short with these characters. I'd like to see more from them at some point; perhaps their own series?"Stolen Goods" by Shannon K. ButcherThis wasn't bad but I had a bit of a har...
As much as I love Beast and do find her funny at times and she's a huge part of Jane. I felt the Q&A went on a little longer than necessary. Other than that, I really liked this companion. You got a review of sorts of the characters and language from the series. And a mini synopsis of each book a...
In a novel filled with exhilarating action and lush imagery, Faith Hunter portrays a near-future world, caught in the throes of an ambiguous apocalypse, where a woman with everything to hide finds her destiny revealed....No one thought the apocalypse would be like this. The world didn't end. And ...
From the author of Bloodring comes its thrilling follow-up, set a century after the apocalypse and portraying a world in the throes of an ice age - and a never-ending battle among seraphs, demons, and humans....Living among humans in a postapocalyptic ice age, neomage Thorn St. Croix has learned ...

I tilted my head, my wet hair clinging to me with cold. My body felt numb rather than frozen, which meant I was hypothermic. “Brother Ephraim, who is near death, once controlled the punishment house,” I explained to the furious green critter. “It’s the place where women were sent to be reminded t...
Seven Sassy Sisters’ Herb Shop and Café used heavy country china and good-quality stainless flatware instead of the cheaper stuff. The customers liked the quality and the homey atmosphere, but being busboy—or -girl—was tough on her back. “I’ve got it,” Cia said, and scoope...
Leo Pellissier’s Clan Home and personal residence had burned to the ground not so very long ago, and the rebuilding was taking longer than he thought he should have to wait. Combined with the accidental media release of the upcoming arrival of a delegation of the European Mithrans—fangheads of st...
High on ledge at top of gorge. Hidden by smoke from man-fire far below. Man-fire burned limbs, leaves cut from trees. Smoke filled air. Sound of axes echoed across gorge. Sound of train whistle split air. Hurt ears. Bad sound. All sound of man was bad sound, but sound of white man was worst sound...
I started, realizing I had been standing, without greeting him, my eyes on the flowers. “Ummm.” Moving woodenly, I opened the door and stood aside to let him in. Wearing a faint, quizzical smile that would have done my Ranger partner proud, he said, “You act like no one ev...
