About Black Arts:
Jane Yellowrock is a shape-shifting skinwalker who always takes care of her own—no matter the cost….
When Evan Trueblood blows into town looking for his wife, Molly, he’s convinced that she came to see her best friend, Jane. But it seems like the witch made it to New Orleans and then disappeared without a trace.
Jane is ready to do whatever it takes to find her friend. Her desperate search leads her deep into a web of black magic and betrayal and into the dark history between vampires and witches. But the closer she draws to Molly, the closer she draws to a new enemy—one who is stranger and more powerful than any she has ever faced.

drey’s thoughts:
Jane Yellowrock is a kick-ass, bad-ass, heroine – and one of my favorites. She’s tough, makes no excuses for who or what she is, and hangs alone. Lately though, she’s picked up a few peeps. Which is good, considering she’s managed to alienate her one friend in the whole wide world.
Then Molly’s husband Evan blows into town, worried she’s missing. Cue the drama! Which is followed quickly by action – lots and lots of action. Because, of course, Jane never gets just one thing to worry about: a couple of the ladies next door have disappeared, and Leo’s called about a meet. So, that’s 3 missing-persons and one big security job.
As she investigates, Jane realizes that what’s going on is dangerous – black magic and long-time enmity combined with vengeful vampires makes for a chilling plot to retrieve an artifact that’s believed to be in Leo’s possession, but is actually in Jane’s.
But in the course of uncovering all of this, Jane learns more about her childhood, including a different take on what her grandmother led her to do way back when. It should lead to Jane taking it easier on her past, but only if she doesn’t let the guilt keep its tethers in her psyche. It does lead to Jane and Beast coming to an impasse of sorts on their frequent Jane-vs-Beast interactions, and hopefully this means that they’ll work together better in the future.
There’s plenty of character development and background-revelation in Black Arts, to go along with the plenty of action (Jane kicks Leo’s tush, ha ha!) and plenty of drama (affairs of the heart always involve drama, no?). Faith Hunter builds more layers upon this world of Jane’s and Beast’s and fills it nicely with history and a larger picture of vampire politics, all while giving us a Jane who’s continually growing and learning. Black Arts leaves me stoked for the direction Jane’s heading, but totally bummed out because now I have to WAIT FOR MORE!
If you love urban fantasy, you HAVE TO pick up Hunter’s Jane Yellowrock series. Start with Skinwalker.
