Blood Trade by Faith Hunter
4.0
I love Faith Hunter, and Jane will always be one of my favorite kick-ass heroines, BUT . . . this latest installment was not my favorite.
Jane is in a new city. By itself, that's not terrible.
Jane was in Asheville in Raven Cursed, but Natchez, Mississippi is different. Jane has no ties to Natchez. Asheville, on the other hand, is where Jane learned the ropes of her security trade, and it's also home to Molly and her entire extended family.
In Asheville, Leo was still a big presence despite his remaining in New Orleans for most of the book.
In Natchez, there is an entirely new MOC, almost no Leo, and the new MOC is not particularly likable. He's not particularly unlikable either. He's not much of anything, which is part of the problem.
So new place with new secondaries, and not a lot of groundwork laid to make you like it.
ALSO--there seriously needs to be a turning point with either Ricky-bo or Bruiser. This is book 6 and there is still no definitive progress. COME ON. You gotta give us something.
All that being said, I will continue to read this series, b/c Jane is frickin' awesome, and I hope that one day she will get her own version of HEA, and I want to read it when she does.
