Book 6, 2014
Jan. 15th, 2014 06:27 pmI stayed up late last night to finish the book I'd been reading at home. It was Skinwalker by Faith Hunter. It's the first in her urban fantasy series featuring Jane Yellowrock, who is a skinwalker of Cherokee descent.
Jane makes a living hunting rogue vampires, and she's been hired by the Vampire Council of New Orleans to kill a rogue who has been savaging people in the French Quarter. Jane has never interacted with "sane" vampires, and dealing with them and their politics is a learning experience for her.
The book had a unique premise, in that Jane carries the spirit of a mountain lion in her. When she shifts, she typically takes on the form of Beast, and the story then shifts to Beast's point of view. The story had me guessing right up to the end, as it was difficult to discern who were the good guys and who was the bad guy.
I know I have at least one more in this series, and I plan to look for the others.
Four stars!
★★★★
