A review by librovert
Blood Trade by Faith Hunter
4.0
I wanted to hold off on this book and try not to catch up with the end of the series too fast. It didn't work, the cliffhanger at the end of [b:Death's Rival|12889903|Death's Rival (Jane Yellowrock, #5)|Faith Hunter|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1334254981s/12889903.jpg|18043632] was too brutal. I was disappointed that that issue wasn't really addressed in this book.
Eli and Alex make great companions to Jane, and I especially love the banter between Eli and Jane. With the complicated love-triangle shape constantly surrounding Jane, it's a refreshing change to have a grown man who's not interested in her sexually and I love the little de facto family they make.
I like that now that Jane's secret is out of the closet, she has room to be a bit more bad ass.
We find out what Bruiser has become in the wake of the events of Death's Rival, which brings up interesting questions where Jane's future is concerned. We see Rick who, close to the full moon as this book takes place, is not quite in control and is super territorial - in a pretty obnoxious way, imo. Big Evan and Jane get a great scene together, though the rest of the Truebloods have not yet found their way back into Jane's life. We get some more information about the genesis of the vampires and some other interesting tidbits of vampire lore.
This book seems to imply that everything Jane has done until now (since arriving in New Orleans anyway) has led her to this point. It makes me wonder if there's an even bigger wheel that Lucas de Allyon was merely a part of.
