Raven Cursed

Jane Yellowrock, Book 4

By: Faith Hunter

Narrated by: Khristine Hvam

The vampires of Asheville, North Carolina, want to establish their own clan, but since they owe loyalty to the Master Vampire of New Orleans, they must work out the terms with him. To come up with an equitable solution, he sends an envoy with the best bodyguard blood money can buy: skinwalker Jane Yellowrock.

But when a group of local campers are attacked by something fanged, Jane goes from escort to investigator. Is it a rogue-vampire, shapechanger, or witch? Or something else magical? Unless she wants to face a very angry master vampire, she will have to work overtime to find the killer. It's a good thing she's worth every penny.

Can't Wait for Book 5

This one is a cliffhanger... who knows what Jane will do now... Very complex novels. Who thinks like this? Creating a really interesting new type of character.

You should be reading this series!

Jane Yellowrock really is all that and a bag of chips. Faith Hunter crafts amazing storylines with gorgeously complex characters.

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

she is as amazing as ever, it was in fact her performance on another series that made me give this one a chance

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

several times i laughed out loud

Enjoyable

Overall, I did enjoy this book. It kept me captivated. I like the narrator. She does a great job with all the accents. One thing that annoys me about the book is that Jane takes on the guilt for everything and those around her let her. Not everything is her fault. Her self-flagellation gets old and frustrating. I feel like her “Christianity” is a forced tie to her humanity and vulnerability. I guess there are other stories that introduce Jane so maybe it wouldn’t ring as false if I had read those. And I don’t like her with Rick.

Please Fire This Narrator

Big fan of this book series and as an Asheville local Hunter did a great job describing the area. But my God, the narrator is terrible! If I have to hear her mispronounce my county one more time, I will lose my mind! She frequently gets her accents wrong too. Natives of Western North Carolina DON'T sound like that.
