I'd like to give this book a 3.5 but I can't so I upped it cause it's definitely better than a 3.

Jane Yellowrock, Cherokee skinwalker plus (even Jane doesn't know what), is a rather unlikable heroine. She's standofish and really unfriendly except with the men. Those she likes plenty but more of a cock tease than anything else. I got vibes of an Anita Blake wannabe while reading this - the whole sexual thing (though Anita puts out while Jane doesn't).

I liked Rick even though he's secretive and a slut. I also liked the twins Brian and Brandon - they had promise though unfulfilled. I even liked Bruiser (George) and the Troll (Tom) - they both had potential too. All hotties and avaiable but to no avail.

I didn't like Leo at all. A typical master vamp - arrogant, know-it-all, want-it-all jerk. He's seriously gonna be a problem for Jane in future books. She pissed him off big time in this one and they never forget a slight...never mind what Jane did.

The areas of the book where Jane's Beast takes over are tedious and way too dragged out. However, the story really picks up about halfway through and grabbed me regardless of the less than stellular heroine. Though by the end of the book I really liked Jane, granted it took a while to get past her attitude. Definitely going to pickup book 2 - Blood Cross in January.
