The adventures of Jane Yellowrock continue with a thrilling new installment in the New York Times bestselling series that captures “the essence of urban fantasy” (SF Site). Jane Yellowrock is a shape-shifting skinwalker…and the woman rogue vampires fear most. Jane walks softly and carries a big stake to keep the peace in New Orleans, all part of her job as official Enforcer to Leo Pellissier, … as official Enforcer to Leo Pellissier, Master of the City. But Leo’s reign is being threatened by a visit from a delegation of ancient European vampires seeking to expand their dominions.
And there’s another danger to the city. When she hears reports of revenant vampires, loose in NOLA and out for blood, Jane goes to put them down—and discovers there’s something unusual about these revenants. They never should have risen.
Jane must test her strength against a deadly, unnatural magic beyond human understanding, and a ruthless cadre of near-immortals whose thirst for power knows no bounds…

The entire Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter is a great read. Often by the time a series reaches 11 books it’s often obvious that it’s run its course. Ms. Hunter has managed to avoid that slump and each book is as good as the ones before and after.
OMG!! If Faith Hunter wrote it, you should read it! I have been reading her Jane Yellowrock series from the beginning, and you have to read this one! You just have to!!
I’m actually rereading the series. I think Jane/Beast are great characters, and Beast is quite funny!
Loved this book! It ended with a bit of a cliff-hanger, with our gal in a low spot. The tough part is waiting for the next book.
Have read several of the Jane Yellowrock series, still not sure if I like this series. Although I have to say this was one of the most interesting ones so far.
I love the series and, as it develops characters thoroughly, I have become very attached to each character and find myself antsy, hoping all will make it to the end of the book safely. Don’t start with this book – start at the beginning and fall into a rich world with interesting, full-body beings. You won’t regret it.
Loved it!!
another great adventurous continuation of Jane
I love Faith Hunter. Her character, Jane Yellowrock, is kick-ass. This series is so well done. Jane has evolved from a loner to accumulating a mish-mashed family and security team for the Master of NOLA. Add in solid friends. Heartbreak and a new love…
Faith Hunter has built a world so incredible with a premise so unique, it is truly mind-blowing. She fails to disappoint with this continuation of the Jane Yellowrock series. Yes, the European vampires are a ‘pain-in-the-neck’, pun intended. But what was going on with all the other weirdness! Read to find out and you won’t be disappointed. All aboard this wild and crazy ride expertly narrated, in its audiobook incarnation, by the very talented Khristine Hvam!
Cold Reign is packed with action, betrayal, new abilities, friendship, and love as the listener is transported through the New Orleans world of Faith Hunter’s imagination. I didn’t want the story to stop! The characters are likable and believable and the storyline kept my wayward attention on track. The narrator did a good job with providing unique voices for each character and speed of reading.
I’ve read the entire series and it continues to be engaging and unique.
Jane Yellowrock kicks ass!
This is by far the best book in the Jane Yellowrock series. Jane and Beast is evolving into something new and I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. I wish I could give it more than five stars.
It was nonstop action from beginning to the end. I could hardly put the book down.
A magical storm is brewing over NOLA and foreign forces comes knocking. Jane/Beast must work her to save the city and all that we loves.
I highly recommend this series.
This series has quickly become my favorite series. I absolutely love Jane and all of the cast of characters Faith Hunter has created. Each book is entertaining and even though you’re pretty sure Jane is going to make it through to the next book, it’s still crackling with suspense. I would recommend this series to anyone.
Another home run in the world of Jane Yellowrock! The story is full of action and danger, and I love that Jane continues to grow as a person, expanding her “family” and learning to trust others. The Master of New Orleans has been preparing for a visit from the ancient and powerful European vampires, but before they arrive there is a sudden surge of revenants (mindless, starving, previously dead vampires) rising and terrorizing the city. Along with that, the city is being deluged by a forceful, endless rain storm that doesn’t follow natural patterns. While Jane and her team are distracted, trying to deal with the revenants and avoid the weather, the European vampires have been sneaking into the city to activate a plan to take over ownership of Leo Pellisier’s territory. The action is terrific, but I think the best part of the series is the personal relationships. Jane has expanded her family circle to the point that she needs to expand her house to accommodate them all.
I’m addicted to Jane Yellowrock. They’re the only suckhead–I mean vampire–series I like.
AWESOME BOOK, I WILL READ ANYTHING MS. HUNTER WRITES!!!! Great story, character growth, and the world building is amazing. I’ve read just about every Urban Fantasy series and Jane and her world is my hands down FAVORITE!! Don’t wait!!! READ THIS NOW!
I love the Jane yellow rock series
