Smásagnasafn um Jane Yellowrock sem er af indjánaættum en sem barn að aldri sameinaðist hún sál stórs villikattar. Fyrir vikið er hún nánast ódauðleg og hefur komið víða við en líkt og heiti bókarinnar ber með sér fæst hún mikið við að takast á við vampírur. Það óvenjulega við sögu Janes er að Hunter skapar hana fyrst sem aukapersónu í öðrum sagnabálki sem síðan öðlast framhaldslíf og þessar sögur hér eru bæði frá sjónarhorni Janes sjálfrar sem og vina hennar og samstarfsaðila.

I actually have read all the stories in here through different anthologies. It was a nice review of them though! ( )

Stories from the Jane Yellow rock series. Highly recommend for fans.

This is a collection of four short stories largely from the early days of Jane Yellowrock’s history – and it does a great job of filling in a lot of Jane’s history and relationships that were already established before the series began – particularly with Molly

The series pretty much began with Jane and Molly as great friends – especially with Molly providing a lot of magical expertise and support for Jane since Molly is a witch. Now the series has never treated Molly as a servant and help has gone both ways, but it’s still nice to see the foundation of this relationship and what made these two highly secretive, careful women who are very wary of revealing their supernatural nature to others came to share so much together.

Haints the second story in the book does a good job of showing some of the initial overtures – we hear how Jane and Molly first met (with Jane protecting Molly from witch haters) and we see Jane helping Molly deal with a ghostly problem – and getting Molly a good income stream, preventing people taking advantage of her. It also excellently showed off Molly’s power and skill as a witch which I really liked.

This is increased further with Signature of the Death with Jane riding to the rescue of Molly’s family facing down rogue vampires. This is also an event that is frequently referred to throughout the main series, Jane facing down a while nest of vicious rogue vampires and taking them down while being terribly injured in the process. Again we see the foundation of this excellent relationship between the two and the respective strengths of each of them. It’s also a nice expansion of an event

There is one problem with this – while I love reading this story of how Jane and Molly came together, how they fought together and how this put them in such a solid place together by the beginning of the series, it also boggles me that Evan, Molly’s husband, has been so hostile to Jane for so long. Ok there are events later in the series that explain the rift, but given the events in this book my gods the Everhart family owes Jane some more consideration. She has done a lot for that family and really, she has earned a damn site more respect and patience from them. Really really she has. It kind of has damaged the way I look at the Everhearts now because their expanded history really makes them look terrible. I’m saddened that my opinion of these characters has now been badly shattered.

I especially liked the stories from Molly's POV. The last story had me scratching my head and wondering, "How well is THIS going to work out?" I hope Hunter explores that story line a bit more in the future. ( )
