\"\"<\/a>Book three in the Jane Yellowrock series, finds Jane taking on a long term contract with Leo Pellissier and the New Orleans vamps to provide security.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, Leo doesn’t seem to trust her enough to tell her things that are important–like the weres coming out of the supernatural closet and a meeting of this group of African weres with the New Orleans vamps.<\/p>\n

Upon further reflection, I’m not sure why the African weres chose to meet with Leo. There isn’t a lot of logic to it, unless they have a beef with European vamps, which theoretically, they might, but still. And I’m not a huge fan of Rick, so I don’t love Jane and Rick being an item. But then, I never really think that strong female characters need boinking attachments.<\/p>\n

Another cover where Jane is in a strong position, but still–what is the deal with the bras? And this model definitely looks European and not Native American. But at least she’s posed strongly.
