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.

deep thinking, a few great fights

Jane is proving to be a woman of many talents and layers. She is more than an extraordinary warrior. Like many who find they are brilliant at killing, she is struggling with the meaning of the lives she ends...

This series keeps surprising me

What made the experience of listening to Death's Rival the most enjoyable?

It seems Faith Hunter knows how to keep the reader (listener) on the edge. This is the fifth book in the series and I've enjoyed every one so far. Each a bit different, but getting better.

Who was your favorite character and why?

In some ways "Beast"......but Jane of course. Her inter action with Leo, sometimes is a hoot. .

What does Khristine Hvam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

Khristine Hvam is a wonderful narrator, and gets the southern LA and French quarter accents really good. When you have an excellent narrator, it makes a book that much better. I have read books and then listened to on audible. I usually enjoy the audible versions more

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

yes

I loved it

Hunter has transformed a genre that I usually find stale and boring (other than BDB) and make it one I am totally in love with again. The reason is Jane Yellowrock. She is everything I love in a strong female character. Her strength of character, kindness, heart, and soul all rolled up into one kickass biker mama vampire-slaying package. I don’t think I have loved a character as much since Rylee Adamson.

In Death’s Rival, Jane is on a mission to figure out who and what is making the vampires sick and stop it before it is too late. With traitors around her, this is going to be one of the toughest assignments yet. Can Jane do it?

Better than the last one

with twists and turns I was not expecting!
The series was beginning to pale for me - this book set it afire again.
