Read in Cat o'Nine tales.
A short about an exorcism Molly undertakes with the help of Jane and Evan. Nothing super special, but it's a fun look into Jane's early relationship with Molly.

Read it 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.
Told from Molly's pov.
In introduction author pointed out she is so immersed into her character that writing stories about how other characters perceive Jane proved to be a challenge. If there is one person whose experience on Jane I wanted to read about it's Molly, since she is quite possibly the person who came closest to Jane.
This story is about them working together on cleaning possessed house. Witch magic is involved and Molly's special skills of being earth witch with ability to sense dead are coming in hand.
Again, I am all for showing more witches and their magic since we know from the start they came out publicly together with vampires, which makes them if not as dangerous, than not for underestimating as well. Molly's magic is not really pretty and it affects her, but it somehow suits her personality since, at the same time, it's not invasive or combative type of magic. Molly is groomed from the beginning as this caregiver, maternal type of characters and seeing her perform something deadly would throw me out a bit. That doesn't mean she is not powerful or able to defend herself- it just means that her personality is not to go and cause trouble for anyone.
Hence, leaving Evan and Jane being badass in this whole affair fit to what we know about characters so far.
+ it was nice seeing Evan and Jane working together having Molly's best interests in mind. They are a good team.
Case on its own was interesting if a bit predictable, but seeing Jane in action through someone else's eyes accentuated that her skills doesn't just make her effective and deadly, but also graceful. I like thinking of her as deadly, badass warrior woman who is also attractive. She doesn't see herself that way often.

HAINTS is one more reason why vampires and witches shouldn't mix. o.O
This one is told from Molly's POV, which is awesome b/c we get to see Jane through her eyes (ALSO b/c Molly). Evan is on hand as well, and as he's not hating on Jane, that's fun, too.
Two word summary: WEIRD magic.
ALSO, there are several Easter eggs hidden for true Jane aficionados.

It was an interesting story. I loved that we got it from Molly's POV, and that it had so much magic. I also liked the whole idea with the curse!
I really like the dynamic between the characters. Not to mention the ending, which is cute and fun.

A story told from Molly's point of view, about a haunted house case they tackle together.
After investigating past events, they find out that
They enlist the help of a competent police detective called Brax, and Evan, Molly's husband, and manage to release the vampire and then kill him before he goes on a rampage, clearing the house from the magical curse plaguing it.
Engaging story that strengthens Molly and Jane's friendship, after, reveals that and introduces Brax, whom I'm sure we'll see more of in future books, starting with [b:Signatures of the Dead|20744880|Signatures of the Dead (Jane Yellowrock, #0.7)|Faith Hunter|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1391738430l/20744880._SX50_.jpg|40075864] next.

What a truly delightful read!
Haints is done from Molly's POV and it is so refreshing to see her inner thoughts, especially the growth of the bond between her and Jane. I was also intrigued to see a side of Big Evan that we usually do not get to which was really heartwarming and romantic. I also wondered to myself if there was ever a time where Big E and Janey were on speaking terms and this really cleared it up for me.
We see Molly's raw thoughts and emotions of Jane and truly another side to our bad ass biker chick. She truly saw Jane for who she really was, a girl in need of a friend and I am glad she accepted her.
I really liked these lines:
"That’s Jane. A loner with a cause. Any cause, as long as it’s protecting someone."
"Jane is magic and scary sometimes" (amen to that girl)
"Jane Yellowrock didn’t have the most jocular of natures, but she was desperately appreciative of any small gift, which made my heart ache for her."

That was a magical twist and a half which had me invested. The humour, manipulation and interactions between all the players had me giggling a few times despite the seriousness of the situation. Molly is just such a pushover in many ways but it was great to see her have a few realisations yet grow to love her friend more. It was also nice to see how Jane protects those she loves in her own special way.
