About this listen

Jane Yellowrock is the last of her kind - a skinwalker of Cherokee descent who can turn into any creature she desires and hunts vampires for a living. But now she's been hired by Katherine Fontaneau, one of the oldest vampires in New Orleans and the madam of Katie's Ladies, to hunt a powerful rogue vampire who's killing other vamps.

Critic reviews

Audie Award Nominee - Judges' Award for Best Paranormal Audiobook, 2011

"A new, strongly unique voice in the dark fantasy genre." (Kim Harrison)

"Hunter's very professionally executed, tasty blend of dark fantasy, mystery, and romance should please fans of all three genres." ( Booklist)

"Khristine Hvam portrays Jane with an adventurous-sounding voice edged with a twang.... Hvam’s voices for the Louisiana locals whom Jane learns to love and respect.... augment an intriguing story with hints of Native American mysticism." ( AudioFile)

This is without doubt one of the best shifter books I have ever come across, and defiantly the best one I?ve ever found on audio. The story its self is brilliant, as is that of the main character. Who she is and where she came from. The difference between how Jane sees the world in human form and when she is in the form of Beast is just one of the things that makes this story so gripping. All the characters are complex and intriguing as is the world in which the live. A truly great book that I will be able to listen to, and enjoy, over and over again.

Perfection!!!

If you could sum up Skinwalker in three words, what would they be?

Different gripping enjoyable

Who was your favorite character and why?

Jane Yellowrock the star of the series very likeable and powerful character

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

She performs them all well Jane is great but if I had to pick just one I think I would go for Leo the head Vampire I think she gets him perfectly

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes but it's too long to do that so it wasn't practical. I kept grabbing bits when I could though

Any additional comments?

This is the first of a series currently of 9 books I have listened to them all and really enjoyed them the characters develop well. If you like this type of fantasy genre I think you will enjoy these. I actually preferred these to the sookie stackhouse series which I also enjoyed. Khristine Hvam is perfect

Great start to a great series

I really enjoyed this story, exciting and unusual. The narration was superb. Some of the narration is done by "beast", and it was so well done. Have already downloaded the second one.

This was great

Fast paced, kick ass snarky heroine with a very different storyline. Leaves you wanting more. Total escapism. Love Faith Hunters books!!

Best book series ever!

Would you consider the audio edition of Skinwalker to be better than the print version?

Having not read any print versions of books by Faith Hunter, I can't say whether her writing style is one that I prefer to hear or read.

What other book might you compare Skinwalker to, and why?

I was drawn to this book because it seemed to sit neatly within the range of books that have kept me returning to Audible. There are aspects of the Jane Jameson books by Molly Harper, Kara Gillian series by Diana Rowland, the Elemental Assassin series from Jennifer Estep and Kim Harrison's Rachel Morgan, from The Hollows. All strong female characters, with a hint of the supernatural, similar, but markedly not the same.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I would say that some of my favourite scenes where Beast was in charge, although the final fight sequence with her frank handling of the situation was probably the most enjoyable.

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

This book definitely did not make me cry, but there were certainly a few lines that made me bark with laughter. I'm sure the people sitting next to me in traffic were a little taken aback!

Any additional comments?

If you enjoy writers such as Kim Harrison, Jennifer Estep and Diana Rowland, then I would certainly say this book is for you. I am yet to listen to any of the rest of the series, so will wait to hear book 2 before I think about recommending it as a series!

A Surprise!
