Wow, this was an action packed novella.
Molly, her husband, Jane, and Paul Braxton, a veteran police officer are hunting down some really terrible vampires. They are newly turned, insane, and preying on the weak and most recently a whole family - yes, very tragic and upsetting.
The story is from Molly's POV - she is a powerful earth witch who will do anything to protect her family and friends. It is a great introduction to the dark world in which these books are set, and also the not dark aspects - the friendships between Jane, Molly, Evan, Molly's sisters, etc. It is also obvious the vampire attacks are not commonplace but a shocking occurrence. I definitely can't wait to learn more!

Read in Cat o'Nine tales.
Signatures of the Dead (0.6) is another short told from Molly's perspective about her and Jane hunting a family of rogue-vampires. This takes place shortly before [b:Skinwalker|5585788|Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock, #1)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1400516601s/5585788.jpg|5757031] and the story had been mentioned in the novels, so it was good backstory filler.

The story of when Jane Yellowrock was outed to the world as something more than human which is alluded to in many of the full length books. Jane, together with Molly, hunt a pack of vampires who have gone feral. Told from the perspective of Molly.
There are so many of these Jane Yellowrock short stories. Maybe 20 of them. Some are great and some are just OK. But with them being sold individually, in collections for Kindle and in an audiobook collection, it's kind of hard to keep up with them. They really need to be better organised.

Read as part of [b:Have Stakes, Will Travel|15986286|Have Stakes, Will Travel (Jane Yellowrock, #4.5)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1346791512s/15986286.jpg|21741210] anthology.
This is also one of stories hinted in novels, specifically in first book.
We know that Katie hired Jane because she earned reputation of taking down entire clan of rogue vampires. This is the story that covers that event.
Another one told from Molly's pov. It's connected to [b:Haints: A Jane Yellowrock Story|20744870|Haints A Jane Yellowrock Story|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1391738367s/20744870.jpg|40075853] since we got to know in that one all about how Molly's powers work and that they are the reason for why she is on back-call of local detective and their friend Brax.
There is a butchered family and Molly, Jane and Brax know they have to stop vamps before they get hungry again.
So, this story is important to me on some visceral level because it reminds me that Jane is not all powerful. Katie and her customers don't know beyond the results (which is, that job was done), but Jane suffered a great deal in this fight and it took a long tiem for her to recover.
It's also obvious that Everhart clan owes her for saving Carmen even though she did it for Molly. It makes more sense why sisters are ready to listen to her later on.

You know that job Jane had prior to hitting New Orleans? The one where she nearly got her throat ripped out? The one where some kid got her on video with her eyes glowing?
This is that story.
It's not pretty. But dealing with rogue vampires rarely is.
Good thing we have Jane.

I'm glad we got to read this short story, as it is one of the moments most mentioned in the main story. This is the story about the rogue vamp-family that made Jane famous as a vampire killer.
Also, we got to see it from Molly's POV, which is interesting.
The story is hardcore and kickass and is a clearly defining moment in Jane's life

I always wondered about the opening scene where Jane became an internet sensation based on a viral image of her throat being torn out. The narration from Molly's POV was also different than the regular books but all in all a good read.

It was amazing to have another story from the point of view of Molly. This one really shows more of the vampire hunting side of Jane rather than the side that needed friends and a way to protect those she cared about. It was a fun yet devastating story of death, destruction and sacrifice! Yet at the same time courage and friendship!

Oh, this story about how Jane got that scar on her neck, and when the cop that was working with them in Haints died.
