About this listen

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.

What other book might you compare Black Arts to, and why?

This book fits in well with the series Faith Hunter maintains her high standard

Which character – as performed by Khristine Hvam – was your favourite?

Jane Yellowrock of course but Bruiser comes a close second with Leo surprisingly come up behind - I had always dislike him in the earlier books but Faith has managed to give the Vampire a bit of a heart or perhaps he is working some form of strategy

Any additional comments?

Complex story with the correct end - leaving lots for the next few books - I really can't wait and will pre-order as soon as I hear even a whisper of publication.

Brilliant as always

Jane Yellowrock was born before the start of the 1830 trail of tears. Her grand mother and father were also Cherokee skinwalkers. This us the start of her' s and Beasts story.

Loved it, started reading this series back in 2014 when I first found it, have read multiple times since then. For me Khristine Hvam is the voice of Jane and Beast.

I love Jane and Beast

Where does Black Arts rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I've listened to all of the Jane Yellowrocks series and i did like this one, but got a little lost with what's happened with Rick and the title i don't think suited it maybe more Death Witch, but that's my opinion.

What did you like best about this story?

Well the main character Jane seemed take a kinda step back, learned more how beast became so, and more play on the boys meaning Alex and Elia had big parts to play in this story.

Which character – as performed by Khristine Hvam – was your favourite?

Jane of cause they would be no series without her, beast a very close second, but the one that stays in mind afterwards is Elia the big brooding ranger

Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Quite a lot of both the full series has from book 1 had me hooked, so if you like your dose of fantasy with added shapeshifters, wolves, vampires and occasionally witches. Its a must.

Any additional comments?

Please hurry up and bring book 8 out need my daily dose

The name black arts didn't suit the book.

The series storms on at a rocketing pace. It opens with a bang as Evan comes looking for his wife Molly. As is normal, it never rains but it pours so Jane also gets summoned to Katie's to search for 2 of her girls who have gone missing plus Leo summons her to run the security for a gathering... what could possibly go wrong??

There is a lot more of Leo in this book as Jane stays firmly on New Orleans turf and it gives an opportunity to develop Jane's reactions to the events of a couple of books back and to seek a solution to the bind she found herself in.

It is also interesting to see how Jane is coping now that the cat is out of the bag about her secret skinwalker abilities. Strangely, Jane seems to be shifting less as the series develops but Beast is as ever a distinct and memorable voice.

So good story, good pacing, good to see the reintroduction of some old familiar characters. Good to see Jane both finding a level of acceptance about herself (the moral crisis had been drawn out a lot over the series) while still allowing Jane to be vulnerable, and boy are there some vulnerable moments shown.

Bad things revolve mainly around the number of questions still left open at the end and the time it's going to take to get the next book released,

The narration as ever was first class.

Like reviewers on other sites, I did have an odd occurrence of a male voice seeming to overlay but it was only a few times for a word or two so didn't detract from my enjoyment.

One tip for this book, there is a crucial fight scene and it is worth checking out the song Dust Bowl by Joe Bonamassa to get the atmosphere



Another knock out from Faith Hunter

I like the narrators voice and all the descriptions as seen by Jane Yellowrock.
I would recommend it to all her fans and also new listeners who want a slightly ‘out of our real world’ experience grounded in day to day reality.
Off to order the next book...love them.

Not quite human at all.
