I stayed up too late last night, but I just had to finish reading Mercy Blade by Faith Hunter. This is the third in her series about rogue vampire hunter/skinwalker Jane Yellowrock.
Jane's job becomes more difficult when weres (werewolves, werecats) announce their existence to the world at large. A contingent of werecats is set to meet with the vampires of New Orleans, and Jane is expected to help with security. When she is attacked by a group of rogue werewolves, Jane is saved by a stranger who claims he used to be the Mercy Blade to New Orleans' vampires, tasked with killing vamps who've gone insane. In the meantime, Jane's boyfriend, undercover cop Rick LaFleur, seems to have disappeared. It's up to her to make sure the vamps and weres play nice, find Rick, and help the police solve a murder.
There was a lot going on in this book, as Jane learns more about vampire history and politics, as well as more information about her own background. The action was fast-paced and engrossing, which is why I stayed up late to finish it.
Five stars!
