** Read in [b:Cat Tales|11082349|Cat Tales (Jane Yellowrock, #3.5)|Faith Hunter|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1302548544s/11082349.jpg|16003996]
— Blood, Fangs and Going Furry #3.5
This one features Rick again and is in his POV.
A lot was given away in this one. You need to read book three [b:Mercy Blade|8100979|Mercy Blade (Jane Yellowrock, #3)|Faith Hunter|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388337237s/8100979.jpg|10885471]; before going into this short story.
Rick did a lot of woe is me and I fucked things up with Jane and need to talk to her to explain in this short story. I don’t feel sorry for him, but a lot of things where given away that had I read the books I wouldn’t be spoiled on.
Spoiler
Somewhere somehow he ends up having a cat inside him and he can’t shift. He’s also betrayed Jane. Wow what a surprise. Not really. He’s also been tortured by werewolves, his tattoos are mangled, and Kemnebi a black leopard is cruel to him. Their is also an International Association of Weres.As I said, read this short after reading [b:Mercy Blade|8100979|Mercy Blade (Jane Yellowrock, #3)|Faith Hunter|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1388337237s/8100979.jpg|10885471] or things will be given away.
Blood, Fangs and Going Furry was ok. Fans might like it. I’m not a fan of Rick.
Rated: 3 Stars

Read in Cat o'Nine tales.
This short takes place between [b:Mercy Blade|8100979|Mercy Blade (Jane Yellowrock, #3)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388337237s/8100979.jpg|10885471] (Book 3) and [b:Raven Cursed|11053874|Raven Cursed (Jane Yellowrock, #4)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327191717s/11053874.jpg|15321609] (Book 4). Told from Rick's PoV, it chronicles his first full moon as a were-leopard. It fleshes out some of the back story relevant to Rick and Kemnebi's situation at the start of Raven Cursed, but isn't necessary for enjoyment of the series.

Read as part of [b:Cat Tales|11082349|Cat Tales (Jane Yellowrock, #3.5)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1302548544s/11082349.jpg|16003996] anthology.
Ok, this book is what I missed before I dived into [b:Raven Cursed|11053874|Raven Cursed (Jane Yellowrock, #4)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1327191717s/11053874.jpg|15321609]. With all other stories, I would say you can read them, but it's not necessary. With this one, I say it's better to read it since it provides necessary answers on how the hell Rick ended up being in North Carolina with Jane.
Story is told from Rick's pov and it's set right after [b:Mercy Blade|8100979|Mercy Blade (Jane Yellowrock, #3)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1388337237s/8100979.jpg|10885471], when Jane and Rick meet on street in front of her rent house.
There is a lot of unresolved things between them at that point, mainly their relationship and we can see it's troubling Rick and we see that Jane is aware of that, too.
But don't look for this story because you want to see what would happen with them as a couple- time needs to pass for them to have that talk and they will have sort of closure in book #4.
This story is about Rick's new cat shifter status, his first moon and just how he ended up with Kemnebi in woods of Sterling Mountains.
Important bit of story since it will make you frown and wonder (like it happened to me) when you start reading book #4.
I also found interesting how resentful Rick is toward George... I don't think he's even aware he is his rival for Jane's affection, but intuition and all that. :)

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.
[spoiler]Stay the fuck away from Jane, you ASS.[/spoiler] <------not a spoiler, just me cursing at Rick.
Fool me once . . .

All in all an OK story that gives us some closure regarding the ending of Mercy Blade, but other than showing that Jane is bad ass - which we know and love by this point - the story doesn't do much for me. I was never a fan of Rick, and so reading his stories is almost like a chore but not quite

This short story is told from Ricks side. It's right after Mercy Blade ends.
Rick comes to Jane when he's unable to shift after being contaminated with the were virus. The question is if she can do it.
I highly recommend the Jane Yellowrock series.
I love the narrator of the story. She is excellent at doing accents and has a wonderful reading voice.
