Hey, werewolves! And were-panthers. And someone who's... something else. Fun to see the world expanding, but maybe I shouldn't be reading these back to back, or maybe this one really was just kind of muddy. Things that I thought were obvious Jane was slow to see, and things that the author seemed to think I should be following were opaque. And I have complaints about the convenience of... spoilery thing about the end I won't mention.

Well that was an unexpected gut punch. I had no idea this book was going to hit me in the feelings as it did, especially toward the end. This is the third book in the Jane Yellowrock series and my favourite by far. Jane has slid right in next to Kate Daniels and Mercy Thompson as my top badass women in Urban fantasy. Hell in fantasy overall.
She's a badass, she's intelligent and she has heart. Her struggles and development throughout this installment really tugged on my heart strings. I have no idea where her story goes from here, but I can't wait to find out.
As for the general plot of this book, I love how it expands and opens up this world even more. Watching Jane basically get thrown in the deep end trying to navigate vamp, were and human politics while trying to solve seemingly unrelated mysteries was intriguing and intense.
I don't want to say anymore but I would highly recommend this series to anyone looking for their next UF fix. As with any urban fantasy series I would advise checking out the trigger warnings. I'm so thrilled to have discovered this series and I'm genuinely excited to see where it goes next.

Really enjoying this series, each book building on the last. They are dense books though, tiny words and lots of descriptions make the reading feel slow-going sometimes.
I love Beast. Beast is not prey.

I am addicted to this series but I sometimes want to strangle Jane and do even worse things to the men in her life. RTC once I get back to a computer.

I LOVED this book-the author certainly hit her stride. And she is an eeeevil woman based on the last line in the book. Contrary to another review I read, there was NOTHING confusing going on in the book. The plot was intricate, the narrator (Jane) was funny, vulnerable, and tough as needed and we got more of her backstory.
I re-read the previous books prior to reading this one and I highly recommend to really fall into Jane's world, but based on this book, I'm looking forward to much, much more in this series.
And if anyone is listening, can we also get some more Rogue Mage books?

This book was a lot of set up but very little pay off for me. So many things have been set into motion without giving any signs of completion, which is good on one hand because it'll keep me reading for sure, but on the other hand, I really wanted to get some more answers and not more questions about this whole shitstorm of vampire and werewolf politics. That ENDING though!!! I'm screaming. Can't wait to see what happens with Rick now.

I like these books. pg-married due to sexual inuendo and language. i like jane's attitude in a world where shapeshifters, vampires, and were-animals are real and must learn to live together. jane's job is to kill vampires who become rabid killers. interesting when you can shift into different shapes and you share your soul with a 'big-cat.'

Third in the Jane Yellowrock series. A fun read, especially when stuck in the car for long days of road-tripping. Jane meets the Mercy Blade. Mischief and mayhem ensue.
