Jane Yellowrock

review 1: In Blood Cross, Jane Yellowrock is still in New Orleans, working for the vampire council. Jane’s been employed to hunt down the vampire who is making young rogues and letting them loose on the human population. What Jane finds is a disturbing connection to local witches. Since witches and vampires are mortal enemies their sudden association is confusing and alarming. Forced to dig deep into vampire history, Jane needs the help of local ex-military and her best friend, who happens to be a witch, to solve this confusing puzzle before innocent children close to her get killed, and before she’s offed by a a powerful individual on a personal Jane vendetta. Add in a sexy cop and a charming blood servant vying for Jane’s time and affection and the skinwalker has her hands ... morefull.I liked the background on the vampire culture and how each of the clans played a part in the politics of the city. The mystery involving vampires and witches and how they coincided worked pretty well. My main problem with the second installment was Leo’s awfully convenient (because of the plot) “dolore”. I get it that he’s suffered a major blow, but that he blames it on Jane, makes little sense to me. Surely, the blood master of a city would need a certain level-headedness and common sense to rise to power in the first place? In Blood Cross, Leo seems to lack everything it takes to run a city. My second complaint, (and I do believe I have this one in common with Beast) is the reason why I’m giving this book only 3 stars. As I wrote in my review of Skinwalker, I appreciated the fact that there was no insta-love/insta-sex in the first novel, but come on, Jane, you’ve got two/three guys lusting after you for different reasons. I would like to see you do a little more than admire a few, tight male butts in the third installment. Beast wants kitts. I can do without kitts, but I would like to see a mate ritual soon. *Wink, wink*
review 2: I liked it, BUT...there was so little Beast time and she was so awful making up her mind about which guy she was going to end up with. I was going to say wanted, but we know who she wanted! She just realized she would never come first with him. But for Rick to sit there while she made her decision...did someone say wimp? I did like the history aspect of the story. And of course, Angie Baby rocks! I'm sure she'll be back! less
