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.

Enjoyed this Book

I am enjoying Jane's self understanding of who and what she is while staying the source of honor and justice. Plan on listening to the whole series.

WOW! !I I did not expect that.

If you could sum up Death's Rival in three words, what would they be?

Fast, Fast, Fast.

What was one of the most memorable moments of Death's Rival?

The last two chapters.

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

The book comes to life. I can create the images in my head. Well written.

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

Better that Twilight.

I don’t get it!

I don’t get why Jane and Rick can’t be together? Jane is a skin walker how can she get the ware taint???? That was never explained or clarified. I don’t get that. Kind of stupid if you ask me.

Love Jane and Beast!

these just get better and better. Love Jane and Beast. Fast action, but not at the sacrifice of good characters or a great plot. Really liked this.

Khristine Hvam does a wonderful job on the narration.

Jane and Beast are the ultimate pair!

What did you love best about Death's Rival?

I love the character of Jane Yellowrock. She is every hero you ever had.

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

There is no comparison. Jane is the ultimate.

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

I've only heard her with the Jane Yellowrock series, and she is a master! She is a perfect Jane and also perfect for all the other various characters in the series. No one else could do justice to the series, and I hope she continues to be the narrator for future Jane Yellowrock books.

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

I did want to. Listened to part of it on a 400 mile trip and then more on the return. Although my rule is to listen to audio books only in the car, I could not help myself, and I finished listening when I got home. (as I did with Jane #4)

Any additional comments?

Write faster Faith--we need the next installment!

Better the 2nd time around

I read this book when it initially came out. I liked it, but wasn't wowed by it. This time listening to it I was wowed. The story came to life listening to it. The narrator is fabulous with this series. She makes all the characters come to life and gives each one a distinctive voice.

Very good series.

Can't wait to hear the next book. Love the narrator and how she changes the inflection of her voice for each character.
