Blood Trade (Jane Yellowrock #6) by Faith Hunter

Blood Trade

Jane is suffering from depression. She can't stand the betrayal from Leo and Bruiser. Beast is bound to Leo. But Jane doesn't want Leo to know.
So when the opportunity to leave town arises to help the Master of Natchez, Mississippi, she packs her bags taking with her Eli and Alex (kid) Younger.
When she gets there she realizes that the rogue vampires have changed and maybe witchcraft is involved. Rick and Bruiser both make an appearance. Bruiser has changed into something else. (Spoiler Fangalert "Onorio")
Rick also drops a bomb at Jane's feet. (Spoiler Fangalert: His cat thinks he is mated to Beast)
A friend from her past, Bobby and Misha with her daughter appear in the city too. Jane is running out of time. She needs to learn how to kill the new vampires and save her friends.
Evan is called to help and he seems to resolve some of his issues with Jane. Also, the sheriff, Sylvia Turpin seems to accept Jane better and she seems to develop a crush on Eli.
The action is good. But this triangle is tiring.
I want Jane with Bruiser for a while, even if she ends up with Rick as her HEA.
3/5 Fangs

Death's Rival (Jane Yellowrock #5) by Faith Hunter

Jane, our little Vampire Hunter is still working for Leo. She is now sent to two different states to retrieve blood samples from sick vampires.
A new master is getting vampires under his wing, if they don't plegde to him, they get infected with a disease that can kill them.
During these two trips, Jane is attacked. Again, Beast comes to the rescue.
As Leo's Enforcer she is to have a blood Bond with Leo. She is trying to avoid this.
Jane decides to hire two guys to form her own team. The older brother, Eli is a fighter and he shows some interest in Jane. The younger brother is a geek tech guy.
At the end Jane may need to confront the New Master, but can she survive this fight?
As much as I like this series, I was disappointed with Jane's unresolved love life- I mean how many guys have showed interest in her. Rick (who could infect her), Bruiser (who is under Leo's dominance) Leo (who is a bastard in this book) and now Eli. I may wait until the series is done to read the rest otherwise I may throw my Kindle to the wall the next time Jane doesn't know who she wants.
Beast on the other hand is darn smart. Jane should listen to Beast for a change.


Spoiler Fangalert: Leo forcing the bond on her is callous and worse is that he uses poor Bruiser to hurt Jane. One sentence Bruiser is awesome the next Bruiser is forcing her to do something she doesn't want. I think Jane needs to pack her bags and leave forever. No money is worth it. Saying that I still like Bruiser better than Rick.
