Publisher's summary

Jane Yellowrock is a shapeshifting skinwalker you don’t want to cross - especially if you’re one of the undead....

For a vampire killer like Jane, having Leo Pellisier as a boss took some getting used to. But now, someone is out to take his place as Master Vampire of the city of New Orleans, and is not afraid to go through Jane to do it. After an attack that’s tantamount to a war declaration, Leo knows his rival is both powerful and vicious, but Leo’s not about to run scared. After all, he has Jane. But then, a plague strikes, one that takes down vampires and makes their masters easy prey.

Now, to uncover the identity of the vamp who wants Leo’s territory, and to find the cause of the vamp-plague, Jane will have to go to extremes...and maybe even to war.

series did a mountain lion leap from good to great

What other book might you compare Death's Rival to and why?

Well, the obvious in Mercy Thompson (by Briggs) (skin walker, mixed hertitage native american, Vampire killer etc.), There is also some aspects of Jane's personality that remind me on Anita Blake (Hamilton)... and maybe a little bit of Elena Michaels (Armstrong) in ther too.

Any additional comments?

I think I finally made my peace with the "beast" sections-- I don't really enjoy this POV, but it's growing on me. The romance in these books has never really do it for me... but the plot of this installment made up from any weak points in the lovie-dovies.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jane! Non-stop warrior woman.

The scene with the wild boar was both funny and gross.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The forced feeding scene.....sent shivers of intense unease down my spine.

Any additional comments?

I Truly Liked This Book

I wasn't disappointed at all. As a matter of fact, I had stopped listening to the earlier books and when I downloaded this one, I was pleasantly surprised. I say, "Go For It". You'll enjoy the listening.

The best one yet!!!!

What did you love best about Death's Rival?

Although the first couple books had great story lines, this one really answers some of Jane's long asked questions and she finds her roots more in this book than any other. I loved her complicated feelings for Bruiser and Rick, but still such a powerful woman!!! Loved it!

What did you like best about this story?

Jane finally comes to terms with her Beast, I've been waiting for this!!!

What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?

She has such great voices, wonderful versatility!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

YES!!! I loved it more than any other Jane Yellowrock so far!!
