Jane Yellowrock is a shapeshifting skinwalker you don’t want to cross—especially if you’re one of the undead…For a vampire killer like Jane, having Leo Pellisier as a boss took some getting used to. But now, someone is out to take his place as Master Vampire of the city of New Orleans, and is not afraid to go through Jane to do it. After an attack that’s tantamount to a war declaration, Leo knows his rival is both powerful and vicious, but Leo’s not about to run scared. After all, he has Jane. But then, a plague strikes, one that takes down vampires and makes their masters easy prey.Now, to uncover the identity of the vamp who wants Leo’s territory, and to find the cause of the vamp-plague, Jane will have to go to extremes…and maybe even to war.

"I admit, Khristine Hvam makes all the difference to this series. When I first read the series, I had the paperbacks. My voice for Beast was severely lacking in the personality that Khristine has given her through voice alone. There are times I want to pick up the kindle versions and read it faster than I can listen, but I haven't given in. I love the voices and I love the southern accent that makes this story so much better.<br/><br/>So, I'm really far behind the times. I'm just now playing catch up. And I'm really liking Alex and Eli. I did sneak peaks at other book blurbs and I'm excited they seem here to stay. It's about time that Jane had some real help in her job that she doesn't have to hide. I'm ready for Jane to set aside all her other love interests and settle on Eli. I'm not a fan of Rick or Bruiser, but I'm excited to see what the next books bring.<br/><br/>So there is very little about this series that frustrates me. And very little that makes me want to throw my phone at the wall (audiobook). Well this one was so tempting at a key number of parts. It definitely makes it an exciting read when things don't work out for our heroine, but sometimes, just sometimes, I want things to go her way, damn it!<br/><br/>There have been too many times I've been listening and wondering if I missed something in a short story somewhere. Last I remembered, Rick and Jane were going to give it a go. Start of this, he's gone and they are broken up. I'm really starting to hate the feeling like I missed something vital. Oh well."
