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)
Would you consider the audio edition of Skinwalker to be better than the print version?
Yes definitely. The narrator makes Jane and Beast come alive. She manages to give them their separate characters. Jane Yellowrock is one of my favourite series of books and after listening to this narration I'll be adding the audio version of the others to my collection.Jane comes alive

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!

This first book sets the scene for the world you’ll be sucked into and you’re in for a hell of a ride. violence, heartbreak, love, guilt and suspense. Jane is a fantastic heroine or anti-heroine maybe, she’s kick ass but easily hurt, she makes mistakes that you want to kick her for but that make her all the more real. Jane and many of these characters, Leo, Bruiser and Rick to name a few, suck you in, you’ll love em, you’ll hate em, and you’ll love em again. This book is just the start...
I’ve recently come back to the start for another listen through of the whole series after listening to her latest book in the series and am loving it all over again. Although I have to say I’m very glad the narrator started to go a different way with the voices of some of the key characters, like bruiser, as the books went on! I didn’t notice the first time through, but going from a recent book back to the first I did cringe a little at how ‘wrong’ a couple of them sound, you won’t know any different first time through so don’t worry but she refines them over the first few books and they become much better for those couple of characters
Great series!

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?
In the most part I did enjoy this slightly different take on a vampire hunter. Jane's ability to change into the beast added a different angle to the story although I did find the short sentences when Jane was in beast form a little annoying after a while. There was lots of potential in the relationships Jane formed for future stories and I understand there are quite a few spin off stories involved. From a practical point of view I probably would have preferred the background more in this story but overall I would recommend as something a little different.Would you be willing to try another book from Faith Hunter? Why or why not?
Yes, I've put the subsequent book on my wish list and will purchase soon. At end of the story she was about to do something so I'd like to see how this develops.What does Khristine Hvam bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
With narration, you get more of a feel for where the book is set with the different accents a narrator brings, That always adds something extra to the book (for me).Vampire fighting, form changing fighter
