Enjoyed this entry in the series. Jane was a little less angst ridden. Nice that she was once again in my ancestral home of Natchez MS. Good story that made me wonder if the author had the whole series plotted out or if it evolved as each book was written into a whole.

Didn't like this quite as much as book #5, but still a solid addition to the series. Wish Jane would stop hemming and hawing over the men, and just pick one!

Jane Yellowrock travels back to the city of Natchez MS to try and clean up the mess left over from the recent death of a MOC who was a Natureleza, a vampire who does not follow the Vampire Coumcil's rule of human feeding. Natchez has a rogue vampire problem as a result. Against Leo's wishes, Jane is hired and goes to Natchez, along with her housemates, the Younger brothers. Jane has been depressed, due to her binding to Leo and Eli and Alex are glad that Jane now has something to do. While in Natchez, Jane meets two fellow foster children she had bonded with in her youth, one of whom has a desperately ill child. The child's mother believes vampire blood will cure her child's cancer. Jane and Eli discover that these new rogue vampires are evolving into a more deadly species, fueled by witches' magic. Jane has to uncover the source of the magic, defeat the new rogues and keep Leo happy, too. It's a lot for a vampire hunter to have on her plate. But Jane triumphs, as always. It is the trip rather than the conclusion that makes this urban fantasy series so enjoyable. Jane and Eli kick ass better than just about any character in the business. Always an entertaining read.

Jane Yellowrock is hired to investigate the disappearance of people to the north of New Orleans. It comes at a good time because Jane is in a deep depression. She needs to get back to work.
There is more than just rogue vampires killing humans. The vampires are mutated and appear to be almost indestructible. Jane and her team begin to search for the source of the changes. Why are the vampires mutated and why is the witch community helping them?
As always, the Yellowrock stories are fast-paced and filled with action. A good read for all the fans of the series.

Sad Kitty, Lonely Kitty, Big ole ball of Fur
Mad Kitty, Bad Kitty, Roar! Roar! Roar!
Jane is depressed. After the events of the last book where she lost Ricky Bo because she accused him of trying to kill her, and Molly because she killed her aunt, and Bruiser because he betrayed her by forcing a bonding between her and Leo, she's a tad depressed. Even Beast is in hiding and Jane is feeling lost. So when an opportunity falls in her lap for her to go to Mississippi and investigate a vampire problem, she loads up her weapons and her make shift family and takes off. Of course, things are never ever how they seem.
Let's see, we have weird insect like vampires that are almost impossible to kill, some kind of strange witch magic going on, a blast from her past, more hidden vampire politics, and a love triangle gone very bad. Mush it all together and you get one giant pile of crapfest. Jane is bad ass though and takes care of business.
I really like this series but I am tired of the love triangle. At this point, I don't like either of them and Beast is just a cat in heat. Nothing is resolved and things are just sad and awkward. Other than that though, I love the action and the mystery that goes with it. We always learn a little tidbit of Jane's history, although I would have liked more and she kicks some serious butt. I really need to read the next book soon!

These books suffer from some pretty glaring flaws. The writers knowledge of the foster care system, the casual mentions of beatings in the "Non-Denominational Christian Children's Home" and the whitewashing of Jane's race. These, combined with the occasional page long sermons disguised as Jane's religious turmoil, make for pretty irritating reading. It's obviously a book written from a place of privilege.
I find the fact that Jane is a happy product of this "Non-Denominational Christian Children's Home" (and yes, it's always referenced in full) extremely unlikely. I was hoping it was just a character development arc, but sadly by book six I have to give it up.

I was right - the book was more about Jane's terrible love life and shitty love interests than the plot of vampires and witches. I hope she gets with neither of them. Two stars for the action scenes between longing looks and self-recrimination.
