A review by katkinney
Blood Trade by Faith Hunter

5.0

“Have stakes will travel” is Jane’s motto. She’s been hired by one of Leo’s frenemies to take out some rogue vamps in his territories. She and Leo are still on the outs because of the events of book five (I’m totally #TeamJane on this one.) Beast has gone silent and sulky, which isn’t good as the rogue vamps Jane finds are some sort of new variation that makes them hard to kill. As usual, Faith Hunter’s books shine in the world-building, with lots of details on military specifics, fighting, and supernatural politics.

Her two new boy band members team up with her in this one, and while they’re still growing on me, it’s definitely a different dynamic.
SpoilerI kind of missed Bruiser and Rick and all that sexual tension, although those two guys dug their own holes in the last two books… have to see if they dig themselves out… was glad to see them show up halfway through!
, I did like the addition of a contact of Jane’s from her days in the children’s home. That was interesting. As usual, things get super complicated and political, and Jane can never go anywhere without finding herself in vampire/witch/other trouble. This had a really cool ending!
