Book 39, 2016
May. 29th, 2016 03:05 pmStayed up a bit late last night, but I did finish Death's Rival by Faith Hunter. It's the fifth installment in her "Jane Yellowrock" urban fantasy series.
When Master Vampires are being defeated without a fight and their territories taken over, Jane's boss Leo wants her to look into it. Jane soon learns that the vamps are being sickened, which shouldn't happen to their kind, and that everything seems to be pointing straight back at her. A man she killed in self-defense was the Enforcer for an old and powerful vampire, who is now using that as an excuse to make a move on Leo's territory.
Jane is convinced that Leo has an informant in his entourage--someone who is giving intel to the rival vampire. Now she has to contend with a potential blood-feud, a traitor, and her ignorance regarding vampire politics, all while still trying to keep her nature as a skinwalker hidden.
The story was fraught with excitement and bloody battles, as well as UST between Jane and Leo's primo, George. It was difficult to put down, which is why I read it so quickly.
Favorite line: Walk softly and carry a big stick. Or stomp loudly and carry enough firepower to start a small war. Whatever worked.
Five of five!
