About this listen

Jane Yellowrock used to hunt vampires, but now she must fight - and win - beside them.

As Enforcer to the vampire Master of the City of New Orleans, Jane Yellowrock stakes her reputation and her life on keeping her territory safe. But Leo has been issued a blood challenge by the emperor of the European vampires, who seeks to usurp all of his power and possessions. If Leo loses the match to the death, the city will be forfeit, and the people of New Orleans will suffer the consequences. Jane can't let that happen.

Preparing for the duel requires all of Jane's focus, but with so much supernatural power in play, nothing goes according to plan. She has to rely on herself and the very few people she knows she can trust to stand and fight. Only two things are guaranteed: Nothing is sacred, and no one is safe.

Emotional Rollercoaster! Every war brings death, destruction, sadness and pain, good surprises when you win a fight easily and bad ones when you lose unexpectedly. This is also the case in DQ. I cried at the end. Honestly cried. But there is hope yet, and it is coming in October. Can't wait!

just ducky!

This time we see and feel all of Jane’s strengths and weaknesses. Especially hers doubts and fears. The real inside of her. Beast is in fine spirit and offers words of wisdom and acts instinctively.
Kristine bought this book to life again and I lived it alongside Jane, her family and foes. At the end there were tears running down my face, it was so moving and full off things that might be.
Even if I never meet Jane again, I have been left with hope.
Thank you Faith Hunter

After the last couple of books being good but not great, really setup books for this one Faith Hunter delivers in full.
Its the end of the very long story arc of the European Vamps coming to visit , and it really goes out with a Bang
Hard to say too much without spoilers and there are a few shocks! It was almost impossible to put down.
I actually wondered if this was the last of the Jane Books but I've read elsewhere that there are 2 more planned so it will be interesting to see where the story goes in the next book but for now let me just say this one is possibly the best in the entire series.
Khristine Hvam is as always perfect

Wonderful Book - sheer perfection

I have become addicted to this author, narrator, story and characters. I.LOVE everything about this series, even the MOC. This, while not completely out of my reading genera, has become the voice and tale I want to listen to whenever possible. How lucky we all ate to have such a prodigious writer!

Another great story, very well read. But all the books are great. suppose I will have to start at book one and re-read the series.

Great Book Again 👍

Absolutely fantastic! I couldn’t do anything else but listen! I spent all day at work waiting for my drive home to listen to a bit more of this book! I want to jump straight into the next one, but I am going to pace myself and listen to book 2 in the Soulwood series first!

Be warned the ending may cause extreme emotional reactions! (I cried!)

I thought I loved some of the other books but this takes the biscuit…or crown maybe?

I have been a bit critical of some of the novels in the JY series, but over-all the series has been leading to this book, and an enjoyable romp it was too.

EXCEPT

Book #12 reads and feels like it is the end of the series, sadly it isn't. With at least two more JY books to come I am afraid Faith Hunter and her publishers have fallen into the trap of churning out book after book. Needlessly. It happened with the McCaffrey Dragonbooks , Dune and so many others. No doubt die-hard fans of the series will rejoice - but why? Hunter actually gives a clue in how she was going to end the series in this book. I personally would like that ending to have taken place. Less is more. As for the fans, I remember what Joss Whedon said about Buffy fans who craved different plot lines or more episodes. "Give them what theey NEED, not what they WANT."

This is the Big One. The summation of New World vamps versus the Euro Vamps war. People, fangheads, familiar and liked characters will be injured or die - True Dead. (Although one major character's fate is up in the wind). For once thank goodness - the rumpy-pumpy was put to one side (Jane and Bruiser much too busy for that - :LOL). Jane gets a surprise visit from an alleged relative. Jane encounters Timey-Wimey stuff. Jane gets an extended family and her own Clan. The fluttering of angel wings can be heard. And Beast is still keeping secrets. Liked the fact that the EVs are populated with historical characters - no surprise that Lucretia Borgia is one of them for example.

All-in-All this book almost got full marks except that it didn't end the series so A-.

Awesome narrator love her voice.
Without too many spoilers, we get the big fight from the European vampires, I was a little worried that the whole book would be one big fight. Thankfully there were other story lines involved as well. I really enjoyed this book. Love the series.

Love the series. This book does not disappoint.

I love all of the Jane Yellowrock books but this one is my favourite by far! From the first 'tap, tap tap tap' to the very last word I was hooked. The story is fantastic and had me both laughing and crying (don't listen to the epilogue whilst driving!). Not only was the story well written and captivating but Khristine's narration brought it to life in an absolutely spellbinding fashion. A masterpiece, well done!

Wow... Best one yet!
