Description

Meet shapeshifting skinwalker Jane Yellowrock in the first novel in the New York Timesbestselling series that captures "the essence of urban fantasy" (SF Site). Jane Yellowrock is the last of her kind-a skinwalker of Cherokee descent who can turn into any creature she desires and hunts vampires for a living. But now she's been hired by Katherine Fontaneau, one of the oldest vampires in New Orleans and the madam of Katies'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 just may be her own...

Reviews

Praise for the Jane Yellowrock Novels

A lot of series seek to emulate Hunters work, but few come close to capturing the essence of urban fantasy: the perfect blend of intriguing heroine, suspense, [and] fantasy with just enough romance.SF Site

Jane is a fully realized, complicated woman; her power, humanity, and vulnerability make her a compelling heroine. The fight scenes are exciting and the New Orleans setting is absorbing, but its the ever-evolving bond between Jane and her Beast personality that keeps this fun series fresh.Publishers Weekly

Jane Yellowrock is smart, sexy, and ruthless.#1New York Timesbestselling Kim Harrison

Readers eager for the next book in Patricia Briggss Mercy Thompson series may want to give Faith Hunter a try.Library Journal

Hunters very professionally executed, tasty blend of dark fantasy, mystery, and romance should please fans of all three genres.Booklist

In a genre flooded with strong, sexy females, Jane Yellowrock is unique....Her bold first-person narrative shows that shes one tough cookie but with a likable vulnerability.RT Book Reviews

Seriously. Best urban fantasy Ive read in years, possibly ever.C. E. Murphy, author ofMagic and Manners
