Summary

Shapeshifting skinwalker Jane Yellowrock is the best in the business when it comes to slaying vampires. But her latest fanged foe may be above her pay grade.

For centuries, the extremely powerful and ruthless vampire witches of the European Council have wandered the Earth, controlling governments, fostering war, creating political conflict, and often leaving absolute destruction in their wake. One of the strongest of them is set to create some havoc in the city of New Orleans, and it's definitely personal.

Jane is tasked with tracking him down. With the help of a tech wiz and an ex-Army ranger, her partners in Yellowrock Securities, she'll have to put everything on the line, and hope it's enough. Things are about to get real hard in the Big Easy.

Jane at her very best

Love FH books it is an auto buy for me. In this book Jane is stretched to her and beasts limits. We see Bruiser gain more of Jane and the YS boys get a hint of life with family. The usual fangy mischief and deep betrayal as the son of darkness gets free. Fabulous book as usual and an intro to Nell for October this year.

Starting to lose its way a little.

I've loved these books and buy them as soon as they are available to preorder. The last three have only been so so. This was a big improvement but still felt a bit off track.
That being said the narrator is still amazing and the characters are the reason I keep returning. They are so well created and the interplay is fun to listen to.
I'll still buy the next when it come out.

Missing Beast

I have loved all of these books, and adore the dialogue between Jane and the other characters in the series. I have noticed that Beast does not feature as prominently in the last couple of books and I miss her!!!! There is an increasing amount of complicated history and I found myself skating through these parts. Having said that I will continue to look forward to and buy the next installments.......

Big Bad on the Loose.

One of the reasons I paused from reading the Yellowrock novels was because I could see what Hunter was doing, she was ramping up the power levels/threat index of both foes and Jane herself. Whether this is for artistic reasons or Hunter wants to give her fans more bang for their buck I don't know. Personally I Think it is a distraction from everything that made the earlier novels so much fun and enjoyable.

In this book we hardly “see” or “hear” Beast because the Big Bad can injure in this plane of reality and in Jane/Beast's SOUL home reality. Now me I LIKE Beast, and to have her sidelined is a red flag to me. And Beast likes Bruiser too! “Good Mate” Near the end of the novel Jane is actually in Danger, but within two sentences, threat is overcome and all back to the status quo.

A sort of resolution to the “Molly” problem – maybe. Leo definitely needs bitch-slapping. Eli is growing on me and his character can surprise sometimes, Jane and the reader too.

However, this time I got the book on AUDIBLE. It definitely improves the story, even the bits I don't like, and the narrator gives Bruiser a very sexy British accent and brings out some of the dry, deadpan humour dotted about in the prose..

I Have purchased the next AUDIBLE publication, if it succeeds I might not give up on the series.

Book 9

Faith Hunter is in my Top 3 authors, funny enough my Top 10 are all women! She can do no wrong as far as I am concerned, some books may be more exciting than pthers bit I wouldn't miss a word of if. Khristine Hvam is brilliantbwith eaxh and every voice she speaks, the soft North Carolina accent she slips into makes me miss Home!

Superb As Usual

Would you consider the audio edition of Dark Heir to be better than the print version?

I really enjoyed the audio version. I haven't purchased the print version but I do have the Kindle version which I will use very shortly. I love to hear the story then go to the book

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I loved the scene where Buiser comforts Jane as she cries - such gentle love between two strong people.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The scene near the end at the church. The decision and the fight.

Any additional comments?

Really strong story, close connections between the well written characters. A detailed story with violence, strategy complexity plus love and humour.
