Jane Yellowrock is a rogue vampire hunter for hire. When her contract is extended after successfully taking down a rogue like no other, Jane is forced into vigilance when the blood master of New Orleans, Leo Pellissier puts a price on her head. Unexpected alliances are forged after three humans are kidnapped, two being the children of Jane’s dear friend, Molly. Thrust into dangerous territory, Jane must uncover ancient secrets the local vampires are willing to kill in order to keep hidden, before time runs out.
Blood Cross took a little bit longer to pick up steam when compared to the first Jane Yellowrock book, Skinwalker. However, once the major conflict comes to fruition, the story unfolds in brilliant fashion. I absolutely loved the creative spin on vampire lore; A first and refreshing twist. There is a bit of a love triangle, but not the central theme.
Blood Cross is a fast paced thrill ride to the very end. Khristine Hvam is a perfect match for Jane and a huge driving force behind the story. This is shaping up to be a very interesting series and definitely worth checking out if you enjoy urban fantasy. Blood Cross is the second book in the Jane Yellowrock series and should be read in order.
