Yep, I love Jane/Beast. I'm surprised we didn't already have a Faith Hunter thread.I quite liked Rogue Mage though it is quite different to Jane's series.
How did I miss this post the first time! I love Jane and her Beast. 
is up next for me in the series. I really need to get back to it.
@Lauren - Death's Rival is possibly the best book in the series so far. I believe the first two words of my book review for it were "holy. crap." (it MIGHT tie, with the most recent book for amazing-ness but yeah.) I think Faith Hunter ate a few extra servings of Wheaties for breakfast or something when she wrote that one!!

I remember really not liking it but I can't for the life of me remember why. I might give it a chance again one day. ::shrug:: Did you read all the books so far? Thoughts?
Nope, I only read #3. It was for a challenge and at the time was the only book of the trilogy I owned. I've since got the first 2 books but haven't yet read them.You might not have liked the religious overtones in the rogue mage series. It isn't as polished as Jane though so it may have been that, that you didn't like :)
It's funny I saw this message today because just last night, I started reading Bloodring again, haha! I'd forgotten pretty much everything so I just started back at the beginning. We'll see how I do this time.
The Black Water collection of short stories just came out in anticipation of the next Yellowrock book - but the surprise for me was the announcement of a spin off series featuring a new character named Nell. This should be interesting, she's a pretty dark character (human-ish. Unidentified at this point)
Oohh, new spin off. Crossing all fingers & toes that its good!!!!
Sandra wrote: "Oohh, new spin off. Crossing all fingers & toes that its good!!!!"Yup it's coming out supposedly 2015! Definitely read her debut short story to learn where she comes from. It's dark - and not supernatural dark, but unfortunately in a way that totally happens in the real world, too.
Jane at one point says that she's like a wood nymphs that she remembered stories about when she was little or something of that sort. If someone knew Cherokee, we could know exactly what she calls her, but there's not many people left from the People.
So as an update regarding Bloodring, this attempt I got through the entire book pretty quickly and have already downloaded the 2nd on my Nook, haha. I wrote a review of it, and while I don't think its as flawless as Yellowrock, it is so DIFFERENT from anything I've read that I can't walk away from it. If anyone's on the fence about it, read my review. I hope it's sort of helpful. If you're looking for something REALLY different, definitely read it and make your own opinion :)
Review: https://www.goodreads.com/review/show...
I've written reviews for each Jane Yellowrock book I've read (I'm in progress on Book 6 right now) but this seems to be the most under rated (and yet highly rated, review wise) urban fantasy series that I've come across!
Any other Jane/Beast fans here?? :)
