Synopsis:
Jane Yellowrock is a shape-shifting skinwalker who’s always up for a fight—even if it means putting her life on the line...
The Master of Natchez, Mississippi has a nasty problem on his hands. Rogue vampires—those who follow the Naturaleza and believe that humans should be nothing more than prey to be hunted—are terrorizing his city. Luckily, he knows the perfect skinwalker to call in to take back the streets.
But what he doesn’t tell Jane is that there’s something different about these vamps. Something that makes them harder to kill—even for a pro like Jane. Now, her simple job has turned into a fight to stay alive…and to protect the desperately ill child left in her care.
My Thoughts:
More Jane for me to love. And even with all of her emotional issues, I do love Jane Yellowrock.
It's been a few months since the events of Death's Rival and Jane has been in a funk. Despite the fact that she's been moody and not taking on any jobs, Eli and Alex Younger are still working for her and living with her as well. Jane has been very depressed and hasn't been shifting because she's terrified that Beast will go straight to Leo and started purring like crazy considering the current state Beast in with that whole being bound to Leo, thing.
When a job that sounds pretty good to Jane comes up, she decides to take it. And it's a good thing that she did because it seems that the Younger brothers were on their way out of the door to go work for Rick. Who Jane has been missing and is still beating herself up over messing up their relationship when she accused him of trying to kill her. Considering what he had threatened, I still don't fault her for thinking he was aiming that gun at her in Death's Rival. I'm ready for these two to move on from each other. There's too much back and forth and unless Rick can rid himself of were-taint anytime soon, they can't really be together, anyway.
Unlike Bruiser, whom Jane also still has relationship issues with. I can't blame her for not being able to totally get over his role in that forced feeding that Leo and Katie made him participate in against her, but I want her to at least try. It looks like they had a breakthrough moment, though and he obviously still wants her and she still wants him despite everything. She just needs to work past on moving on from that trauma. Not forgetting, but forgiving. He sincerely feels awful about it, but none of it was his fault. However, considering what he went through, it seems Bruiser is a changed man. And not nearly so bound to Leo as he once was. Still loyal, but not tied so tightly. Jane better take advantage of this. I need Jane and Bruiser together. I want it badly. She better do it before Soul decides to take a go at him. Bruiser can't be expected to wait forever.
My favorite moments, though, are of Jane with Eli. They are so much like a family and I love that the Younger brothers see her like family. She even thinks of them as her brothers. I love the way the three of them play off of one another. My other favorite moment was at the end of the book when Jane and Big Evan finally have it out. It looks like the Truebloods may yet become a part of Jane's life once again. They were the first family that she ever had, so I want this for her. She needs this and I want this for her so badly. I love that the Youngers are another family for her, but she needs the Truebloods in her life. I think that will help her to stave off some of the darkness in her.
Speaking of which, that was brought up a number of times in the book. A number of people commented on Jane's darkness. Is she in danger of becoming a Liver Eater like the skinwalker she killed in book 1? I hope not, but Jane has a lot of darkness in her. The people that are in her life have the potential to keep her from going to the dark side, so I hope they stay there. She's got herself a pretty good team.
I'm very much looking forward to the next book. I'm sad the release schedule is being slowed down, though. I was loving the new book every 6 months thing. Now there'll be a 9 month wait. *cries*
Faith Hunter, please give me a Jane/Bruiser scene soon. I am begging you.

No, but it won't be out until 2014. At least, that's what the GR page is and based on a blog post of Faith's the books are slowing down to being released in 9 month intervals, so I'm hoping we will get it in January 2014.
Have you seen a date for Black Arts yet? I haven't...
