Jane Yellowrock #3

My Rating:4/5

Review: I love this series, and I can't get enough of the butt-kicking Jane Yellowrock! Endless action and intrigue. Good good stuff.

Book Description: Jane Yellowrock is a shape-shifting skinwalker − and a vampire killer for hire. But lately she’s found herself taking blood money from the very vampires she used to hunt...

Things are heating up in the Big Easy. Weres have announced their existence tot he world, and revived the bitter tensions that run between them and their old enemies: vampires. As a trusted employee of Leo Pellissier, Blood Master of the City, Jane finds herself caught in the cross fire.

When Jane is attacked by a pack of marauding were-wolves, she is thankful for the help of a mysterious stranger named Girrard. He explains that he used to be Leo’s “Mercy Blade,” a sacred position charged with killing vampires who have gone insane. What Jane doesn’t know is why this powerful assassin left New Orleans − or, more troubling, why he’s now returned. It’s definitely not to make Jane’s life easier...

More Ramona

My Rating: 4/5

Review: My son and I enjoyed this book together. It wasn't quite as funny as Ramona the Pest, but it was still very good. My son says that he likes Ramona because she's a lot like him. I'd have to agree with it to a certain extent. Hahaha!

Book Description: Teenagers think they've got it rough. Try being a misunderstood 6-year-old! Ramona Quimby is bound and determined to be brave as she weathers first grade, her mom's return to work, and sleeping in the spooky dark all alone. But nothing seems to go her way this year. From a fierce dog on the sidewalk to a copycat in her classroom, Ramona has her hands full.

Young Beast

My Rating: 3/5

Review: This was an interesting take on one of my favorite fairytales. I enjoyed it for the most part, but I didn't like the chat room scenes. That made it way too hoakie. I did like the interaction between Adrian and Lindy, though.

Book Description: I am a beast.
A beast!
Not quite wolf or bear, gorilla or dog but a horrible new creature who walks upright. I am a monster.
You think I'm talking fairy tales? No way. The place is New York City. The time is now. It's no deformity, no disease. And I'll, stay this way forever ruined unless I can break the spell.
Yes, the spell, the one the witch in my English class cast on me. Why did she turn me into a beast who hides by day and prowls by night? I'll tell you. I'll tell you how I used to be Kyle Kingsbury, the guy you wished you were, with money, perfect looks, and the perfect life. And then, I'll tell you how I became perfectly...beastly.

Save the Kits

My Rating: 4/5

Review: Well, this one didn't grab me quite as well as the first book in the series, but I still enjoyed it very much. Jane's best friend and witch, Molly, has come to New Orleans with her two young children for a visit. Everything is fine and dandy until Leo, the Vampire leader, comes to Jane's place for revenge. Everything starts to escalate from there. Along the way, Jane learns more about her heritage, gets more involved with two men in her life (one more so than the other at first), and discovers secrets about the vampires who hired her. Plenty of action and suspense, and a good amount of sexual tension to boot.

Book Descriptions: The vampire council has hired skinwalker Jane Yellowrock to hunt and kill one of their own who has broken sacred ancient rules — but Jane quickly realizes that in a community that is thousands of years old, loyalties run deep...

With the help of her witch best friend and local vigilantes, Jane finds herself caught between bitter rivalries — and closer than ever to the secret origin of the entire vampire race. But in a city of old grudges and dark magic, Jane will have to fight to protect both sides, even if no one will protect her.
