The Early Years - 4.0 stars
An 18-year-old Jane follows an instinct she doesn't understand and finds her way back home. It gives me FEELS.
Cat Tats - 4.0 stars
Oh, look. Ricky Bo got himself in trouble b/c chasing tail. SHOCKER.
This one's told from Rick's POV, and if you've been curious about how he got his mountain lion/bobcat tattoo:
IT MEANS NOTHING.
I like this one b/c lot and lots of PAIN for Rick (whom I HATE).
Kits - 5.0 stars
KITS hits me in ALL the FEELS, and it's probably my favorite Jane short to date.
1. Beast and kits always plays havoc with my emotions. She's so fierce and so pure and so . . . single-minded. Nothing is more important than kits. *rubs fist over heart*
2. The birth of Molly and Jane's friendship:
I may have cried. A lot.
Blood, Fangs, and Going Furry - 3.5 stars
Have I mentioned that I HATE Rick? B/c I do.
This one is from Rick's POV, and it details his first full moon as a were . . . A were unable to shift b/c witchy tattoos. It appears to be rather painful.
THIS PLEASES ME.
And I would've given it full marks if it hadn't been for his, "Woe is me, I really effed things up with Jane," and, "I really need to talk to her, I need to explain," crap and trash.
<------not a spoiler, just me cursing at Rick (spoiler tagged out of respect for Jane who hates potty mouths).
Fool me once . . .

Rick didn’t know what it meant to have the cats here on his body, beneath his skin, part of him.

2. The birth of Molly and Jane's friendship:
I pulled on my socks and carried my boots into what was left of Molly’s house. We had tea. We shared secrets. Weirdly, Molly held my hand while we talked, as if protecting something fragile or sealing something precious. Even more weirdly, I let her. I think that, for the first time in my life, I had a real friend.
I may have cried. A lot.

This is short story collection.
Faith Hunter - Cat Tales (99 pgs, actually 113...but I didn't read the bonus chapters of the next book).
I like the characters, but did not enjoy short stories. I love interconnective tissues that tell deeper stories.

Since all but the last story I read on March 30th, that's where I'm putting this! Great collection of stories about cats of all kinds and yeah, really great to read!

Mostly short stories I've already read in other collections she has put out. I wish her publisher wouldn't duplicate short stories in various collections.

Nice to get some more in depth stories of all the small episodes that Jane kept talking about. Not the most awesome book ever but if you are a fan of the series you will enjoy this.

Enjoyed the stories: The Early Years and Kits. Didn't really enjoy Rick's stories so much but could definitely appreciate his development after his first full moon as a were-leopard.

This book contains four stories of backstory and missing scenes from the Jane Yellowrock series. I loved every one of them. It's great to have some questions answered about Jane and LaFleur. The tension is high! I just wish there were more stories to read.

4 short stories from the Jane Yellowrock world. I enjoyed them all, but the last one really whet my appetite for the next book in the series due out in January!
