Benjamin and RoseThe focus of this was the Mexico-Texan wars which was great for context in relation to what was going on in New Orleans at the time. Benjamin and Rose take a road trip to rescue their friend Hannibal from an allegation of murder in Mexico. A whole cast of new characters bumped me out of the story a few times despite the interesting context. They’re on their way home now so the next book will be a breeze!...more

Also - and I never thought this would matter to me- there's too much Rick and no Bruiser (except for a couple of phone calls)....more

A load of action this time involving were wolves and were cats, a grindylow and even a small time god! I really felt for Jane in this instalment as her love life takes a dramatic hit with Ricky- and hers and Beasts' hormones take a hit too with Bruiser. A lot of reviewers seem to not like the fact that Jane's love life is all over the place, but I personally think it keeps it real. A great contribution to a great urban fantasy series. Recommended, but start with the first one....more

I really like this series and the main protagonist, Jane Yellowrock. Despite the fact that professionally she is the Business, she is vulnerable in personal relationships. I love the fact that she is an ugly crier! This was high action adventure - Jane could, and nearly did,have died several times in this book. Beast is also a character in her own right and seems to be coming to the fore. Jane Yellowrock has joined the ranks of Kate Daniels, Mercy Thompson and October Daye as one of my Urban Fantasy staples. Welcome to the gang, Jane!...more
4.5 stars. You know how sometimes you see a book or series popping up on your GR feed and you're just not sure if it's for you? You add it to your tbr 4.5 stars. You know how sometimes you see a book or series popping up on your GR feed and you're just not sure if it's for you? You add it to your tbr list- you take it off again- you hmm and ha..it becomes annoying because you know now you will have to read it just to see.. normally when I am undecided in this way, when I eventually cave in and read the book, my worst fears are realised and then I can say to myself 'see? I knew there was a reason I was unsure...well that's taught me?!' No?! Well maybe it's just me then! Well this book has surprised and entertained me. It was very good, much in line with either Kate Daniels or Mercy Thompson I would say. I really enjoyed Jane and Beast and a load of vampire clans, their blood subjects and a whole supporting cast of people and supernaturals. I loved learning about the vampire hierarchy and community and I loved the bayou setting. It was funny and assured. Really looking forward to the rest of the series. Niggles would involve the number of very handsome men and the amount of time Jane spends discussing food and tea! Recommended....more
