Five Stars

As with all the Lawson Vampire books this one was exciting and it was so hard to stop reading it to do life things. Talya is back and I just love her. She's smart, tough, and a perfect match for Lawson. When Lawson decides to help her out with one of her missions he finds himself sneaking into North Korea, not a place anybody wants to be sneaking in to. Talya is bringing out a defector with knowledge of North Korea's nuclear program and Lawson ends up finding a Vampire who also needs to escape. What follows is a lot of tense action in a place that's been in the news a lot lately. One of my favorite things about Lawson is his open mindedness, whether it's his gay friends and coworkers, his transgender hacker friend, or the way he respects prostitues, he always sees all people as just people and it's my favorite thing about him. Another favorite thing is that he treats Talya as an equal. He loves her and will help her with anything but he sees her and treats her as an equal even though he's a tough macho type and that's a nice thing to read. I just can't get enough if this series.

I was given an advanced Reader's copy of this ebook by the author for an honest review.

I don't know how an author can write 11 books in a series and still make it exciting, fresh, and interesting, but Faith Hunter does it every time. This is another great Jane Yellowrock book. When the crazy revenant Vampires start rising and killing people Jane and the Youngers go after them. They are very old and extremely hard to kill but they are just a distraction from the real threat which is the European Vampires that are sneaking into the city under Leo's nose. Jane and family have their hands full soon with some dangerous adversaries. Lots of action, family time, and a little romance with Bruiser. I've loved Bruiser from the very beginning and the thing I love the most is that he lets Jane be Jane and he trusts her to take care of herself. I can't wait for the next book.

I received this ebook as an advanced Reader's copy through the publisher and Netgalley for an honest review.
