Meet shapeshifting skinwalker Jane Yellowrock in the first novel in the New York Times bestselling series that captures “the essence of urban fantasy” (SF Site).
Jane Yellowrock is the last of her kind—a skinwalker of Cherokee descent who can turn into any creature she desires and hunts vampires for a living. But now she’s been hired by Katherine Fontaneau, one of the oldest vampires in New Orleans and the madam of Katies’s Ladies, to hunt a powerful rogue vampire who’s killing other vamps.
Amidst a bordello full of real “ladies of the night,” and a hot Cajun biker with a panther tattoo who stirs her carnal desire, Jane must stay focused and complete her mission—or else the next skin she’ll need to save just may be her own…
Why did I add Skinwalker to my bookshelf?
According to my records, I bought this book in 2016. I guess I haven’t been in any kind of hurry to get it read since it has been sitting on my shelf for so many years. This sounds like a series that I will love whenever I get around to reading it. I have had some luck with Faith Hunter’s writing, so I feel like this one will be a good bet. Hopefully, I can get to it sometime soon.
What are your thoughts? Have you read this book? Would you recommend it?
