Visiting the Master of the city of New Orleans was always challenging, but it was worse when he was in a mood.

This is the eighth book in the series and New Orleans is preparing for the arrival of the European Council. Leo is in a snit trying to amp up his security at headquarters. get his new house built and secured, and have Jane look for the Stake of Golgotha which can control Mithrans. Add to this a killing machine know as Satan's Three that are trying to wipe out Leo and Jane.

This series gets better with each book. I loved the mythology and the history behind the creation of vampires and shifters. There always seems to be some new nugget that I either missed in previous books or is just being revealed.

The romance stepped up in the storyline. I've been unhappy with Bruiser (George) because of events a couple of books back. I'm happy to report that he is back in my good graces. He and Jane (and Beast) really stepped up to the next level of their relationship. I am most thankful that Rick was only mentioned and did not appear in New Orleans.

The Younger brothers have established themselves as strong, capable characters that are a great foil for Jane. I love how all of their personalities meld into a cohesive "family unit".

The invisible force that attacks Jane is a surprise. (view spoiler). The arcenciel is a fascinating magicla being and I hope we can learn more about them.

The action is constant and often graphic. One of my favorite characters is seriously injured and I found myself holding my breath regarding his survival.

I alternated between reading and listening to this book. The narration often helps me with the Cajun/French and the correct pronunciation of the magical creatures. I read during lunch at work and listened pretty much every chance I could get.

This series has caught and held my interest although I almost gave up after the one of the early books ticked me off. Now i recommend it highly. ...more

I liked this book - I enjoy the Jane Yellowrock series in general. But I felt like it was a really slow read. I'm not sure if the issues was me (rough week at work) or the book. It did take a little while to get the plot moving, but there were some fun moments with Bruiser and the Youngers even before the main plot got going. Even though I enjoyed reading it I never felt completely wrapped up.

I think I also never really got a grip on the "light dragon" thing. It's a light being, but it's attach ...more

Every book is better than the last. I freaking love JY. Soooo, sooooo many things happen in this one and I suspect that there are going to be some serious ramifications. The last 30% is so intense - my stomach was in knots the whole time! I can't imagine that Leo will let Jane's latest transgressions slide. I don't want to give away any spoilers but things we have been waiting for from the beginning come to fruition which was exciting and frustrating and exciting. Also, this is the book, along w ...more
