Skinwalker Book Review - No Spoilers
This morning, Marcus asked me if I could build him a rocket ship. I told him I could, but only if it had a kitchen and a comfy reading nook. He wasn’t impressed. I guess he’s aiming for Mars, not a cozy cabin. Anyway, it got me thinking about the kind of strong, independent women I admire—like Jane Yellowrock. So, I picked up Skinwalker by Faith Hunter, and wow, what a ride.
Plot Summary
Skinwalker introduces Jane Yellowrock, a Cherokee skinwalker and vampire hunter. Hired by Katherine Fontaneau, one of New Orleans' oldest vampires, Jane is tasked with tracking down a rogue vampire killing others of its kind. As she navigates the city's supernatural underworld, she faces challenges that test her abilities and uncover secrets about her past.
Why I Love This Book
I love how Jane is portrayed as a strong, independent woman with a rich cultural heritage. Her internal struggle between her human and skinwalker sides adds depth to her character. The world-building is immersive, and the plot keeps me on the edge of my seat. The blend of action, mystery, and supernatural elements makes this book a compelling read.
