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)

What a suprise!

Not being familiar with the writter or reader, I was unsure what to expect. I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to see Janes' story unfold continue to unfold.

YELLOWROCK "ROCKS"

Where does Skinwalker rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Great first book for a Series to start with. Narration was off the charts and there were so many different characters and languages.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jane - she has interesting Cherokee heritage and the way her mind works.

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

No, but she rocked all those different characters and languages with precision.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

No extreme reaction, but I laughed at Jane and Ricky Bo's interactions and when she kicked his butt.

Any additional comments?

I did get tired of Jane's "It's my fault" theme. It ain't all about you Jane, but I love you anyway.

Really interesting new series to me!

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

She really brought the characters to life with different accents, I think she really suited the story & characters.

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

Yes, though I couldn't due to work :(

Not bad

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

Perhaps. To a friend who needed a break from reality and able to suspend disbelief.

Would you recommend Skinwalker to your friends? Why or why not?

Not particularly deep, but entertaining. A few too many potential suitors in the mix. Just how many people in New Orleans are chasing after this girl?

What three words best describe Khristine Hvam’s voice?

Decent attempt at southern.

Decent Story

It was a decent story in a very done genre these days. I enjoyed the story and it was a bit of a different angle both positives. Once you add the lack of gratuitous sex, you have a book that made for a nice couple of afternoons. It isn't a story that will change the world, but it can change your mood and isn't that the point of a good story?
