"This one does actually have a bit of melodrama but Jane is just as irritated by it as we are and eventually is able to Handle It (as much as one can handle a super powerful ancient vampire who previously had almost alway gotten his own way at least)"

"I'm surprised by how deeply this series got it's claws into me. It hits a lot of the same notes at the Mercy Thompson series (native americans, skin walkers, vampires, werewolves, also christian faith??) but was written less for a white audience. Almost none of the main cast is white and the author isn't afraid to look native genocide in the eye and explore those darker themes. I hadn't expected to like a honky-tonk tuff southern motorbike chick, but damnit Jane Yellowrock grew on me."

"Thinking about it, my fave is The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery"

"What a fun romp! Started the first book -- ended up devouring the series. And now I'm waiting for the latest book to come out with everybody else. Darn it!"
