Book 69, 2016
Finished reading Blood Trade, by Faith Hunter, last night. It's part of her "Jane Yellowrock" urban fantasy series.
Jane's secret is out, and people now know she's a skinwalker. Jane's Beast has been magically bonded to Master Vampire Leo, which makes Jane reluctant to shift. As a result, she's getting cranky and restless. When an opportunity arises to travel to Natchez and help another Master vampire deal with rogues, Jane jumps at the chance. She takes along her own, small team, leaving Leo and New Orleans behind.
Before she can begin hunting rogue vamps, however, Jane makes a side trip to meet up with a former childhood acquaintance. Misha wants to interview Jane for a book she's writing on vampires. Janes suspects there's more to Misha's story than that, and she's right.
Jane and Eli meet with the Master vampire, then go hunting. They soon discover that these rogue vamps are unlike any vampires they've encountered before. The rogues are morphing into something faster and more dangerous than normal vampires.
To make matters more difficult, Misha goes missing, leaving her sick child in Jane's care, Jane's former boyfriend comes to town, and then Leo's primo, Bruiser, shows up. Both men are in contention for Jane's attention, and they aren't planning on playing nice with one another.
As with other books in this series, the story was fast-paced and engrossing. The battle scenes are brutal and bloody. Jane has to survive on her skill, her wits, and pure moxie.
Favorite line: Never admit you're wrong when silence lies that you're right.
Fabulous! Five stars!
