Rating:  B-

Jane Yellowrock is a the last of her kind, a skinwalker.  However, she cannot define what that truly is.  Inside of her lives and independent personality of Beast, who is a part of her, but did not start out that way.  Jane is hired by Katherine Fontaneau one of the eldest vampires in New Orleans to hunt the Rogue Vampire that is wreaking havoc on their lives and the lives of the local police.  Jane takes no time in making it clear that she is not a fan of Vampires, not even civlized ones.  Will she learn to trust those she hunts in order to save herself and others from this horrible Vampire?

I had a hard time with this book.  It felt like the author had so many ideas and shoved them into one book.  There never felt like there was one true point to the story or to the start of this series.  While I can understand wanting to put everything in, I feel like SKINWALKER would have been better if we were allowed to see one part of the story completely develop.

Having said that I will read more of this series because I am curious to see where it leads.  There was just enough development for me to want to know what happens next.    There are so many possibilities, and that is interesting to me as a reader.
