I am still having such a blast in this world! I love Jane and the rest of the cast. Alot happens in this book and it felt like it went at breakneck speed. I kind of wish we had a few more slower moments between characters. Just to savour some of the relationships Jane is developing.
I don't know if its because I'm bingeing the series, but I did find the plot a bit convoluted at times. Still super intriguing and I like how the author is tying things together, but there were a few turns that left me confused and frustrated. I'm sure the author will tie them up in a future installment. I'm fascinated at where the story is going to take me next given the events in here.

The best Yellowrock book in a long while, this is enough to bring me firmly back in the series' corner.

Can't recommend this one to all .. Only takes 3 paragraphs out of the whole book, but there it is -- SMUT.
It's starting to get a little - well - like the author is running out of ideas - like she's forcing the story line.
I might be done with this series. I'll have to think about it.

Just when I think these books can't get any better, a new one comes out. I mean, seriously, how do you do this.

Dark Heir is book nine in the Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter.
Jane and the Younger brothers find themselves in trouble again all due to the Master of New Orleans, Leo. In this novel they are trying to stop a crazy old vampire that Leo had chained up in his basement. Vampire politics are involved and Jane can’t just stake the vampire and be done, nope he has to be alive in someway.
Leo. He’s one of those characters that's not quit good and not quit evil. All the vampires in this series are pretty much in the same area as Leo, with a few of them more evil then others. Leo's a frustrating man and Jane’s problems are all because of him and his secrets, but that’s the vampire game he plays. I don't know why Jane doesn't just stake him for good and be done! She has staked him a few times, but he’s not anymore dead then before.
There’s a lot of emotional and relationship stuff going on for Jane in this novel. The Younger Brothers are becoming more of a family to Jane then partners. Molly, her BFF, visits and she is walking the line between a good and bad witch plus their friendship is still on rocky ground. Then we have George aka Bruiser. He and Jane seem to be heading in the right direction for their relationship. I like seeing them together. I also really love the Younger Brothers. They are fun and I love seeing them with Jane. Last, I really enjoy Jane and Beast; especially seeing them grow and the challenges they face.
The one thing I could have done without is Ricky. He still pops up, but this time it’s just a phone call and Jane has the right reaction to it, but still I just want him gone and not popping up in anyway.
Dark Heir was another exciting action-packed adventure in the Jane Yellowrock series.
Rated: 4 Stars

The constant personal guilt trip slowly killed my enjoyment of the book. But Bruiser gets all the heart eyes.
