Overview

Jane, a shapeshifting vampire-hunter-for-hire, crosses paths with a stranger who has arrived in New Orleans, enlisted to hunt vampires who have gone insane-or so he says...

Editorial Reviews

VOYA
Jane Yellowrock, skinwalker and rogue vampire hunter, returns in her third adventure. Leo Pellisier, vampire Master of the City of New Orleans, has hired Jane to provide security for vamp headquarters. But Leo has a hidden agenda: unbeknownst to Jane, the weres (wolves and big cats), heretofore hidden, are about to demand public recognition and a share of the city. When a pack of werewolves attack Jane, she is rescued by Girrard DiMercy, once Leo's Mercy Blade, whose mission was to kill those who failed to change successfully from human to vampire. Why has Gee chosen to reappear? Is it connected to whatever is between the weres and Leo? When Jane's boyfriend, Rick, an undercover police officer, is kidnapped, she knows that Leo and the weres are somehow involved. Can she rescue Rick before the weres "convert" him? There is a lot going on here, much of it left over from previous volumes in the series. Readers can pick up the story but they will have to pay attention. Jane is a kick-butt action hero who is also a practicing Christian with a conscience and a troubled past. Skinwalkers can shapeshift and Jane's animal alter ego, a cougar called Beast, has a distinctive voice of her own. The writing is fluid, witty and sensual, dwelling lovingly on descriptions of costume, food and the vampires' often flamboyant decorating tastes. The sensuality extends to sexual attraction, though actual encounters are left to the imagination. Mature readers will look forward to learning more about Jane. (Book 3) Reviewer: Kathleen Beck

Meet the Author

Faith Hunter

A native of Louisiana, Faith Hunter spent her early years on the bayous and rivers, learning survival skills and the womanly arts. She liked horses, dogs, fishing and crabbing much better than girly skills. She still does.

In grade school, she fell in love with fantasy and science fiction, reading five books a week and wishing she could "write that great stuff." Faith now shares her life with her Renaissance Man and their dogs in a Enclave of their own. Faith is working on a new series, which Roc will publish starting in the summer of 2009, and a role-playing game, called The Rogue Mage, based on Thorn.

    The third Yellowrock urban fantasy is a great thriller

    Her name is Jane Yellowrock and she is a skinwalker; the last of her kind. To survive she is a rogue vampire slayer. She shares her soul with Beast and they communicate with each other. When Jane shapeshifts she usually turns to Beast, but she can change into any animal she chooses. Now the Weres have gone public and Jane works exclusively for the Blood Master of New Orleans, Leo Pellissier. Leo hates werewolves and when a clan of weres arrives to stake a claim in Leo's territory, he orders Jane to come to his house.

    He wants his security systems and peoples to be at full alert which is Jane's department. Leo also wants her to meet someone near a pub to tell home to get out of town. When she arrives at the spot she notices the werewolves are there. She meets Girrard who once worked for Leo as his Mercy Blade, but Leos almost killed him when he tried to kill Leo's insane daughter. Not interested in a chat, Jane prepares for the gala where the African werewolves try to make peace with Leo and his vampires. The American werewolves get past the sentries and attack. By the end of the confrontation, the hall is flowing with blood. Making matters worse, Rick, Jane's lover is undercover and she realizes that he is having sex with a werewolf as part of his job as a police officer. The Weres plans another assault on Leo's complex and Jane is pleased when the carnage ends and peace is restored. Now if she can only find Rick who still remains missing.

    The third Yellowrock urban fantasy (see Blood Cross and Skinwalker) is great thriller starring a flawed heroine whose childhood memories are nightmares and gets upset with the slaughters but does her job while dealing with various supernatural species. Girrard adds an enigmatic element as Jane wonders what his tie to her boss is. Readers will appreciate Mercy Blade as paranormal blood flows in the Big Easy.

    Highly Recomended

    Yet another good read in the Jane Yellowrock series. The net is tightening around Jane and its becoming more and more hazerdous to keep her and beast a secret from the vampires. This book is a good continuation of the series and I cannot wait until the next one comes out.

    Highly Recommended

    I love this series, and the introduction of Weres was interesting because it was something different and because I always like getting a break from Vamp politics. We learned a little more about Jane and her Cherokee roots, which I always love, although I want more. We saw different sides to both Rick and Bruiser. And there was definitely a god twist at the end. At first I was annoyed because I felt like it ended abruptly and with an obnoxious cliffhanger, but the Epilogue pretty much takes care of that. Can't wait for number 4!

    I love Jane Yellowrock

    The third installment of the Jane Yellowrock series begins with Jane and her boyfriend Rick in Appalachia. A startling revelation sends them back to New Orleans, and back to business. Jane finds herself dealing with a missing lover, steamy moments with Bruiser, Her best friends snooty sister, not to mention her vampire boss, and a mysterious stranger. All of which have their own agendas.
