Review by Pat Garverick
Pat’s Rating 5/5
Blurb:
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…
Pat’s Review:
Faith Hunter continues the experience of Jane Yellowrock with more dynamic scenes of Jane seeing more visions/reality of her soul home. Friends she trusts turn out to have hidden agendas. More great action with blow by blow tension building precision. The moment you finish the book, it’s like coming up for air to get that breath you’ve been holding. We get to see more of Jane herself, including her deep belief in Christianity and doing the morally right thing (not always easy for a rogue vamp killer). Always the awesome details of Jane getting dressed in her leathers, getting weaponed up, and jumping on Bitsa to head to the next crisis. Fantastic read.
