Adira ao LibraryThing para descobrir se irá gostar deste livro. Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro. Fantastic book. I felt a little iffy at the beginning, but it was just a bit of a rough start. By the middle I couldn't put it down. Extremely engaging and a fun world. ( ) (2009)Jane Yellowrock is a kick-ass vampire killer who is hired by a New Orleans vampire to find and kill a rogue vampire who is making life hard for self-respecting vamps in the Big Easy.She has an ?inner?Beast who comes out in the form of a mountain lion and the transition is done very well by the author. Together they track down the rogue only to find out that is not a vampire but a ?skinwalker? like Jane. A shape shifter that has assumed the identity of the vampire son of the head of one of the vampire clans in N.O.Very good and I will definitely get caught up on the series. Not my usual kind of book. Was recommended by the pod cast Eclectic Review. Ah I forgot how much I liked this series :D Its a reread for me but always nice to get deeper into the story and notice things I missed the first time around. World building is great! The author describes the a very rich world in many many details. You really get a great feel for it, though I hope we get to see more than just vamps and the lonely skinwalker. Character development is super. We get to know Jane pretty well, though much of her (and Beast's) past is still hidden. We learn about her feelings towards vampires, her work, her best friend Molly and the men she meets during her hunt for the rogue vampire. Characters are well fleshed out, they feel real and they all bring something to the table. Love how Jane is portrayed, being beaten down sometimes, not the almighty heroine doing everything on her own, though she often feels that way. Pacing and flow were good. Sometimes I did feel some more time would have been needed healing Jane in between fights, though as a shifter I guess that could be expected. But overall a very good alternation between the action and conversations/downtime. The book in itself was well written and I found no (noticeable) errors. There is no sex described in this book though it's only a matter of time. There are however plenty of scenes with sexual tension / innuendo. All in all a great book one, will reread the rest of the books as well sometime soon. This book was a mess. It was supposed to be another instance of the badass vampire hunter girl but the execution failed. I think it would be fair to blame the editor for a lot of things as well. Maybe 50/50. This felt more like a first manuscript that went through a very timid edit. Lots of ideas that lead nowhere. Lots of contradictions and lazy writing in general. I wouldn't be surprised if the whole thing was written mainly in one go from start to finish without more than a very hazy idea of what the goal even was. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

"Jane Yellowrock is the last of her kind--a skinwalker of Cherokee descent who can turn into any creature she desires--and hunts the undead for a living. But now she's been hired by Katherine Fonteneau, one of the oldest vampires in New Orleans and the madam of Katie's Ladies, to hunt a powerful rogue vampire who's killing other vamps. Amidst a bordello full of real 'ladies of the night,' and a hot Cajun biker with a panther tattoo who stirs her carnal desire, Jane must stay focused and complete her mission, or else the next skin she'll need to save may be her own."--p.
