Publisher Description
Jane Yellowrock is a vampire killer for hire—but other creatures of the night still need to watch their backs....
When the Master of the city of New Orleans asks Jane to improve security for a future visit from a delegation of European vampires, she names an exorbitant price—and Leo is willing to pay. That’s because the European vamps want Leo’s territory, and he knows that he needs Jane to prevent a total bloodbath. Leo, however, doesn’t mention how this new job will change Jane’s life or the danger it will bring her and her team.
Jane has more to worry about than some greedy vampires. There’s a vicious creature stalking the streets of New Orleans, and its agenda seems to be ripping Leo and her to pieces. Now Jane just has to figure out how to kill something she can’t even see….
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Vampire hunter and general all-around badass Jane Yellowrock and her alter ego, Beast, return (following Black Arts) in a multifaceted plot that contains strong action and intriguing new directions, but the story gets bogged down by the sheer amount of detail. Jane's employer, Leo, the vampire Master of the City of New Orleans, instructs her to tighten his already robust security in anticipation of an official visit by European vampires. While doing so, Jane discovers something truly frightful in the basement, gets attacked on the streets by an invisible entity, and learns there are super-scary vampires that other vampires fear almost more than sunlight. Readers who have been waiting for Jane to make some smart decisions in the romance department should be pleased, but the subplots, subplots of subplots, and overwhelming number of characters detract from the main punch of the series, which is Jane's relationship with Beast and her take-no-prisoners approach to life. The continuing character development and fascinating new horizons will assuage dedicated fans.
Customer Reviews
Loved it
Just can not get enough of this series. Thank you.
Faith-ful Fan
I usually leave reviews of Faith's books using an alias. Because we are friends, and because I've been consulted a few times on aspects of her stories. This book DESERVES the truth of the reviewer who is a total fan girl.
I am half Cherokee. I was given up for adoption outside of our reservation. My birth mother wanted to give me the best chance at a good, educational, loving home. While I am proud of my family and thrilled to have grown up the way I did, I missed out on half of my heritage. Over the years, I've researched, tracked, and read up on as much of my Native heritage as I could. I can say with 100% certainty that Faith has done an amazing job in her presentation of Jane Yellowrock.
Broken Soul is the second book in this series that has made me want to live in Jane's world. To be a part of her inner circle and fight by her side. The Broken Soul aspect could be used in so many varying ways on many different characters. It's that part that hit me hardest. To be on the outside of yourself looking in, trying to put the shattered pieces back together. Anyone, male or female, who has been in a war understands this. Each time you Witness death, cause it, clean it up, it shatters a little more of your soul. And while Jane never really signed up to become a killer, she never shirks her duties. That's why I find myself reading this series over and over. Why I recommend this series to my Native friends, family and the occasional stranger.
Thank you Miz Faith. For staying true to the People, the legends, and yourself as you craft each story.
