Dark Heir is book nine in the Jane Yellowrock series by Faith Hunter.
Jane and the Younger brothers find themselves in trouble again all due to the Master of New Orleans, Leo. In this novel they are trying to stop a crazy old vampire that Leo had chained up in his basement. Vampire politics are involved and Jane can’t just stake the vampire and be done, nope he has to be alive in someway.
Leo. He’s one of those characters that’s not quit good and not quit evil. All the vampires in this series are pretty much in the same area as Leo, with a few of them more evil then others. Leo’s a frustrating man and Jane’s problems are all because of him and his secrets, but that’s the vampire game he plays. I don’t know why Jane doesn’t just stake him for good and be done! She has staked him a few times, but he’s not anymore dead then before.
There’s a lot of emotional and relationship stuff going on for Jane in this novel. The Younger Brothers are becoming more of a family to Jane then partners. Molly, her BFF, visits and she is walking the line between a good and bad witch plus their friendship is still on rocky ground. Then we have George aka Bruiser. He and Jane seem to be heading in the right direction for their relationship. I like seeing them together. I also really love the Younger Brothers. They are fun and I love seeing them with Jane. Last, I really enjoy Jane and Beast; especially seeing them grow and the challenges they face.
The one thing I could have done without is Ricky. He still pops up, but this time it’s just a phone call and Jane has the right reaction to it, but still I just want him gone and not popping up in anyway.
Dark Heir was another exciting action-packed adventure in the Jane Yellowrock series.
Rated: 4 Stars
I love the way the author manages to keep everything fresh without a lot of repetition. She keeps my attention through the whole book.
Jane is up against a terrible enemy which might be to strong for Jane and her team. As usual Jane kicks butt though the price this time is steep.
I highly recommend this series.
Love this complete series and am anxiously awaiting the next volume. Anyone who likes strong female characters and vampires and witches will also enjoy this series.
Enjoyed all the books in this series.

Great entry in the series
great read….
Loved this book. Loved the series.
European fanged poopy head! Yes! I’m a Leo fan! I like Jane Yellowrock’s vampire boss! I love the Jane Yellowrock series world’s status quo and I want her and Beast to kick butt right proper! This book of the series got my blood up! I found myself pacing my home as Kristine Hvam expertly narrated this story. I got very little sewing done so I decided I would color in my Basford book! That didn’t work out too well. So I tried needlepoint, then on to crochet! Nope and nope! I had to settle for walking around with my hand weight and yelling at the audiobook. What a work out. Thanks, Faith Hunter! You have helped improve my physical fitness level.
