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...
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’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...
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...
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...
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,...
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...
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 ...
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...
Once again, I enjoyed the read, although it is such a pity that Jane is almost always kept out of the loop of things important. I am also still skeptical about the relationship between Rick and Jane.However, since the second book, I have changed my opinion of Bruiser--do not like him much, actual...
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...
