A solid 4.5 stars. I could have used more sexy-times. ;) But the story launched right away and kept going at breakneck speed so I didn't want to put it down. This series is a pretty dense read... lots of little font on the page as well as a lot of description, so the fact that I finished in two days means a lot of read-time.

Wow, this book was intense with lots of intrigue and scary supernatural stuff going on around Jane. She has left New Orleans for North Carolina to help out Rick (one of my least favorite characters). Soon after she is recruited as security for a vampire parlay and gets drawn into a search for two murdering werewolves. Things spiral out from there and Jane is running from one disaster to another trying to keep those she has been hired to and those she cares about safe.
As usual she is amazing, unfortunately she decides to blame herself for everything which is so ridiculous. Some events did probably lead from things she was involved in, but honestly she did not do anything directly wrong.
Noooo Jane, it isn't! You cannot control all the crazy supes who want to kill people, they do have free will.
But still, she and Beast always takes care of business, hers or no.
My other issue is that Jane's interpersonal relationships are often painful to watch. Though my favorite is Angie, her friend's little girl, who is already a powerful witch. Her parents just need to realize blaming others is not exactly a great virtue.
Jane is cool, she really needs to meet some new people! Especially new love interests!! Onto the next.

Favorite Line: "If you can't be quiet, we'll ask you to leave. We have enough problems with the baby talk and the demon shrieking"
This one was so good, I think I might have to do a re-read of the entire series all at once. AND they included a sample of Bloodring at the end (Kindle version), which, IMO, is another great series that I wish would continue.
Go Faith!

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix

- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes

I LOVE Jane Yellowrock! She is the toughest bad-ass I've read in a long, long time and I simply adore her. I want to be her friend. I want her around to protect me with all her guns, blades and BEAST!
This is my guilty pleasure reading and I love every single minute I spend with Jane and the cast of characters in this series.

Their is just something about this series that irks me. I want to love this series and I do so enjoy Jane, but I struggle. Jane is the type of heroine I like to read about in Urban Fantasy's. She’s independent, kicks butt, loves tea, has her favorite weapons, and is a skinwalker, something not common, at least to me, to read about. However, I feel I struggle in each book with something.
Some of my struggles have to do with the men in Jane’s life vying for her. I dislike them as boyfriend/lover material. They have all really disappointed me and not won me over on that front. I like them and I don’t; because they all have their own agendas and know one is looking out for Jane. I feel she can and does deserve better on the lover/boyfriend front. Next is all the guilt Jane cares around with her. Every book she has a guilt complex about something. Sometimes it’s about things she can’t control. Not that it changes her behavior, no, it turns into a crutch that motivates her actions and thinking. Last is her goddaughter who keeps trying to reach out to her. Jane doesn’t listen and/or puts her off until it’s convent; which by then things have progressed to the point of no return or dire straits. The child is gifted and Jane should know by now to listen.
With that said Raven Cursed is book four in the Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter.
In Raven Cursed we go back to Asheville, North Carolina, Jane’s home town. Jane has to deal with a Vampire parley, a witch using blood magic, and Rick going furry. Her life is changing and ever more chaotic.
The book was a little slow going, picked up, then went slow again. It was a back and forth. I wasn’t fully feeling Raven Cursed, but it was still pleasant. I was glad we got clarification on whether Rick cheated in the last book. It wasn’t what I had thought, but he still kept secrets from Jane. If he cared, he would have confided. Yes, Jane kept a big secret, but that secret is so ingrained in her to keep. She doesn’t trust easily.
Their was a lot to enjoy with Jane and Beast hunting, Jane talking with her goddaughter, discovery of the traitor, and the grindylow. I enjoyed the novel.
Rated: 3.5 Stars
