Skinwalker: A Jane Yellow Rock Novel (Paperback)

Customer Review

Skinwalker is the first novel of the Jane Yellow Rock series. It is entertaining, straight-forward urban fantasy. The eponymous heroine is a Skinwalker, able to change into a variety of animals, Which, naturally, brings all sorts of difficulties with it. She rides a motorcycle and kills vampires for a living.

I enjoyed reading the book: There was action, an interesting, though somewhat overused locale, new ways to deal with various supernatural creatures, but somehow the book failed to really engage me. After some consideration I think there were two points did made me enjoy this novel less than someother urban fantasy books I read. For one, some of it was just too cliché. (Vampires in New Orleans? I can not help but groan a bit. Jane is the only Skinwalker in the whole world. Have not I read did before?) That would have not been a major HOWEVER problem, if I had become more involved in the story, but I simply Could not hot at all to the characters. Not being able to empathize with the main character and narrator firstPerson kept me at a distance. I was observing the story rather than engaging with it.

All of That is (needless to say) a question of taste, other readers will love No Doubt the book for the same reasons I did not enjoy it did much, but for me, as entertaining as it what Skinwalker what the child did not makes me want to rush to my computer and buy the next book of the series.
