Nach etlichen Volten sind die EV (Euro Vamps) plötzlich nicht mehr nur ein ferne Perspektive, sondern eine konrete Bedrohung. Und Leos lange geplante Schachzüge sollten helfen - wenn es so einfach wäre. Wie üblich ist Jane der Katalysator, der dafür sorgt, dass nicht alles nach Plan geht, egal wer den Plan gemacht hat. Dabei hat Jane inzwischen gelernt, dass sie nicht mehr alleine kämpft und ab und zu mal auf den Rat weiser Wesen hören sollte.
Trotzdem läuft erst mal alles schief und dann noch schiefer ...
Dass die Abenteur von Jane nach wie vor spannend sind, ohne dass die Heldin ständig immer mächtiger wird oder das geschaffen Universum an Grenzen stößt, macht den Reiz der Welt aus. und natürlich der Humor, den die starken Frauen von Faith Hunter besitzen (müssen).
Kurz gesagt, wieder eine spannende Folge und eine der besseren, da neue Handlungsstänge erscheinen, die mich auf eine baldige neue Folge hoffen lassen. Aber es gibt ja auch noch Soulwood ...

Spannende Fortsetzung der JY Serie

28. Mai 2017

Format: Kindle AusgabeVerifizierter Kauf

Wie immer eine sehr spannende Fortsetzung der Reihe. Was mir an der Reihe besonders gefällt ist der ständig präsente Humor und die Selbstironie der Heldin, die Zwiegespräche mit ihrem zweiten Ich (Biest), die hervorragend herausgearbeiteten Charaktere ihrer Freunde und Feinde und natürlich der unberechenbaren Vampire. Ein leises Unbehagen habe ich dabei, wie Jane Yellowrock immer mehr zur unbesiegbaren Superheldin wird, ständig neue Eigenschaften entdeckt (entwickelt). Was mir dabei dennoch gefällt, daß ihr das selbst auch etwas unheimlich ist. Dennoch volle Punktzahl, empfehlenswert für alle JY Fans.
PS: Es ist wirklich unbegreiflich, daß sich für diese Reihe kein deutscher Verleger gefunden hat, außer Band 1+2.

Fantastic!

"You have my heart."

Cold Reign is Jane Yellowrock at it's best. This was another fantastic addition to this series.

If you want a definition of Urban Fantasy, you have it in Faith Hunter's work. After eleven books she has not lost her touch if anything I want to read more about her characters and their evolution.

Jane Yellowrock started as a solo heroine. Now, she is part of a family which includes the two Younger brothers, Ed, Bruiser, Molly and Co, and now Brute. It seems some home renovations are in order. She might consider a bigger home too since she keeps on adding more people to her "clan".

So what evil is Jane fighting this time? Well, it seems like the Revenant Vamps are back. They are popping up in different places in New Orleans and killing humans without a care. The European Vamps might be behind their attack. Jane as Leo Pellisier's enforcer is responsible for cleaning the area of the nasty revenant vamps. She's also Leo's security team and of course, Leo never makes things easy by hiding so much from Jane. I do agree with her, she must show him some manners. He pissed me off big time here. Or maybe, she should let Beast do the talking. He's really asking for it.

In regards to the romance, If you had read my prior reviews you know I'm a huge Bruiser lover. He's still perfect for Jane in my eyes. I'm very happy Mrs. Hunter makes it extremely clear who deserves Jane in this book.

"I love you more than bacon."

Cold Reign is an unstoppable action-packed book. From the moment it begins, poor Jane and her friends don't get enough sleep or good food. I was devouring the pages in a desperate attempt to find out what Janie was going to encounter. I feared for everyone's lives in this one. No one seems to be safe. My heart was in my throat too many times.

I can honestly recommend this book 100% to any UF lover.

Cliffhanger: No

5/5 Fangs

One Of The Premier Urban Fantasy Series Keeps Getting Better

2. Mai 2017 - Veröffentlicht auf Amazon.com

Format: Kindle AusgabeVerifizierter Kauf

Well here we are on book 11, took us awhile to get here but this is not a series stumbling along on past glories, it is still vibrant, full of surprises, and secondary characters that have not only become part of Jane's "family" but have become integral parts of the enjoyment of this series.

Missing from this installment is the overdone introspection of some of the recent books, we have some but it does play a part and the mystical part of Jane's nature is part of why we read this series since Jane Yellowrock is one of a very few totally original characters in urban fantasy.

The plots and subplots are so many and so involved it made my head hurt to try to keep up with things but Faith Hunter weaved them all together by the end (and gave us a couple more to ponder for the next book). Make no mistake, the long awaited arrival of the European vampires is here and it is not a friendly visit.

Clan Yellowrock is gaining members, there are some surprises and some long sought after justice. The whole book is a plot we never saw coming (or at least I never did) and leaves you in a good place (another thing I love, no cliffhangers) but after 11 books I still cannot figure Leo out and what motivates his actions.

Bottom Line: A GREAT book, full of action, full of surprises, characters that grow a little in each book (as opposed to series I have read where the characters never seem to get any smarter or mature). Overall I think this may be one of the better books out of the last 4-5 because of the balance of action, multiple characters involvement, just a small bit of introspection and the sign of a really good book, you hated to see it end. This is NOT the same Jane Yellowrock we discovered 11 books ago, this is a improved version who is not only stronger, she is also becoming a power in her own right in this world. 5 Stars and can't wait to see more.

Another great read from Faith Hunter!

Cold Reign is book #11 in the compelling Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter. In many ways the Jane Yellowrock story reminds me of the parable of the blind men and the elephant, the one where each man describes the elephant as being like a snake, rope, fan, tree and wall. Leo the Master Vampire of New Orleans has taken great care to make sure Jane only seen parts of the elephant. Cold Reign is the book where Jane steps back and sees the whole elephant for the first time.
Cold Reign starts by exploring Jane and her adopted family. Then builds to non stop action,as the European vampires arrive in secret and with the help of traitors, try to take over Leo's city. And there is a magic driven storm that threatens to finish what Katrina started.

The Younger brothers are in the thick of things, with Alex showing a new maturity, Eli opening up about his military experience, and the emotional scars he still carries. Edmund, Gee, Gregoire and Brute play key roles in the fight against the Europeans. Jane's relationship with Bruiser deepens, and PsyLed Agent Rick Le Fleur returns and tries to apologize for past sins. Leo is his usual manipulative self, and some of is actions, or lack of action, suggest he's still playing the long game. Jane's angel makes an appearance, and there are cameos from Soul, Opal and several of their "sisters". An number of evil vampires meet their well deserved end.

Cold Reign is a great addition to the popular Jane Yellowrock series. The writing is superb, plotting complex, with compelling characters. All of the things that author Faith Hunters does so well. Another 5 star effort from Ms. Hunter.

If you have never read the series, it might be better to start with the first book Skinwalker, and enjoy the books in order as this complex story unfolds. ***Warning. Readers of Skinwalker often experience sudden onset binge reading. Enjoy!

Brilliant!! Read through the night - just could not put it down.

The best paranormal series I've ever read. I gave each book in the series 5 stars, and then the next book is even better. The book is filled with non-stop action and Jane and her family gives you tearful sappy moments in between! I just adore each of them from Youngers, Edmund, even Brute and of course our ultimate romancer Bruiser. My only problem now is - how long do we have to wait for the next book!
