2. Let me start this review with a big warning recomendation DO NOT READ THIS BOOK UNLESS YOU ARE CAUGHT UP ON THE SERIES OK, while that might not be a great selling point it will keep you from reading some major spoilers unless you are one of those people that really like spoilers yes Virginia, such people exist and to be honest you might be OK to read it if the only novel you have missed was Dark Heir but then again since that is one of the best books in the series I think I will stick with my wa [...]

6. Rather than write a long, blathering, rambling review of all the stories contained in this anthology, I ll just keep it condensed and therefore, coherent To date, I ve read one Jane Yellowrock novel Just one Skinwalker, to be exact The very first In this collection of shorts from the world of Jane Yellowrock, there are 19 stories spanning the time period of the series and with knowing that prior to reading, I was set Set to both be lost because I ve only read the first, and set to spoil myself [...]

7. I really like the Jane Yellowrock stories They have werewolves and vampires like so many other urban fantasies but Hunter gives them a fresh spin Over the course of the series Jane has grown and evolved and become and interesting While I m not sure this anthology is a good place start for a new reader since it contains spoilers for books as well as references to events and people in those books, it s a wonderful treat for fans of the series.The short stories take place over several years, allo [...]

9. I m not a huge fan of short story anthologies in general, but over the past few years, I ve really delved deep into the world of the Urban Fantasy genre In UF, short stories are prevalent, and sometimes it can be hard to get your hands on all the short stories needed to completely read an entire series, which can be very important as sometimes key events or vital canon details can be found in these tales.Thankfully, Faith Hunter leaps to the rescue in this companion to her AMAZING yes, AMAZING J [...]

10. Blood in Her Veins is a collection of previously released novellas that I, for the most part, have enjoyed tremendously as well as two brand new stories Of the two, Cat Fight is the best by far Coming from me, that s to be expected, since I generally don t care much for the neither the Trueblood Everharts nor the juvenile arcenciel that keeps trying to off both Jane and the young Everhart children Turns out, there is a good reason for the arcenciel s actions, but since that reason is just a futu [...]

14. AMAZING 19 Jane Yellowrock and associates stories This was such a great collection of stories that included Jane, of course, but also her best friend Molly and her family, the Youngers, Ricky Bo, Bruiser, Leo, and some new characters While I had read a few of these stories before it was so much fun to remind myself of all of Jane s adventures and why I believe she is the best, kick ass heroine in any series I ve read I was particularly happy that Ms Hunter included stories from others points of [...]

15. When I am committed to a series I expect certain things I expect the main character to stay in character while still maturing I expect a strong character who has some faults and weaknesses I expect the secondary characters to be interesting without taking away from the main character Finally, interesting, not the same storylines.What makes the Jane Yellowrock series so unique in the Urban Fantasy genre is that not only do we learn about Jane s backstory as she does, but we also fall in love with [...]

26. Even though I had already read most of these stories, they were all very good to read They are arranged chronologically, so all together, they give a good overview of the lives of Jane Yellowrock, her friends, employers and enemies Some of the stories refer back to events that happened in the novels, so I would say that this book would be better for those already familiar with the series I wouldn t go so far as to say it s necessary to have read the novels, but if this is your introduction to Ja [...]

30. Takes place in southeastern United States mostly near New Orleans There is a limited amount of Cajun patois and it is well done These stories and novellas feature shapeshifters, vampires, werewolves and law enforcers necessary to handle problems of these and other creatures I have not read any of the Jane Yellowrock series of novels, but I can say I prefer Faith Hunter s writing to that of Jane Austen.
