Publisher's summary

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 Katie's Ladies, to hunt a powerful rogue vampire who's killing other vamps.

Critic reviews

  • Audie Award Nominee - Judges' Award for Best Paranormal Audiobook, 2011

"A new, strongly unique voice in the dark fantasy genre." (Kim Harrison)

"Hunter's very professionally executed, tasty blend of dark fantasy, mystery, and romance should please fans of all three genres." ( Booklist)
"Khristine Hvam portrays Jane with an adventurous-sounding voice edged with a twang.... Hvam’s voices for the Louisiana locals whom Jane learns to love and respect.... augment an intriguing story with hints of Native American mysticism." ( AudioFile)

Love the story and the narrators voice

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I am a huge fan of Dresden and Mercy Thompson books and I am always on the outlook for similar books. Yippy! I will be listening to this entire series. Hope that when I am finished that I can find another series. I really like the narrator!

Jane Yellowrock is Awesome

If you could sum up Skinwalker in three words, what would they be?

Excellent Supernatural Thriller.

What other book might you compare Skinwalker to and why?

I would compare Skinwalker to the Dresden Files books or the Walker Papers.

What about Khristine Hvam’s performance did you like?

She really captured the spirit of Jane Yellowrock and the side characters.

Predictable but you don't care

If you enjoy the Kim Harrison Hollow books, you will find the same flavor here. The story is another sexy vampire hunter story but done skillfully, with a narrator that fits the character well. The story moves along and you are not bored waiting for action. It is hard to come up with anything really new as there are soooooo many supernatural series out there now, but this one feels fresh and fun, not too heavy and sad even though it is loaded with death. I fully intend to purchase some more in this series. A good curl up on the couch read.

So good we had to download book two

What made the experience of listening to Skinwalker the most enjoyable?

First audio book for my husband. He really liked the narrator. A great performance by Khristine! Love the genre and we were looking for that perfect book that each of us could enjoy on our road trip. Found it!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jane/Beast was very well written and performed. Completely likable character, you want her to kick vamp butt.

Have you listened to any of Khristine Hvam’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This was our first time listening to a book perfomed by Khristine Hvam, made the experience enjoyable

If you were to make a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?

Everyone needs a little bit of Beast in them!

Any additional comments?

Worth the price of admission!

Good!

An interesting start to a series. I like it and it's good. But not really thrilled with the romance subplot. I love a good romance in my urban fantasy but I don't particularly like realistic romantic BS in my urban fantasy. But the story was good.

Book 1 in the Skinwalker series

Great series with a Native American theme. A "SkinWalker" - a native American magical being who can change into almost any mid sized animal.
