Death’s Rival

Death’s Rival (2012) Faith Hunter

Jane has tried to escape Leo Pellisier and the vampires of New Orleans, however, something–or someone–is making vampires all over the country sick, so Jane heads out to collection information (and generally act as Leo’s Enforcer).

Jane has been walking a very fine line (and not even walking it at times, but instead prancing over the line and doing a short jig) and that delicate balancing act is about to end.

And not in her favor.

Two negatives for this story: First, I’ve never gotten Jane’s relationship with Bruiser, and events in this book don’t help. Second, the story doesn’t end particularly cleanly. It’s not a cliffhanger, and this is something that probably isn’t going to be resolved quickly, but there it is.

Aside from that, I enjoyed the story–I always like spending time with Jane and in her world, and I wish bad things would stop happening to her.
Rating: 8/10
