Skinwalker is a paranormal mystery set in urban New Orleans, a very appropriate setting for this genre. What makes this book different than other paranormal books I’ve read is that our protagonist, Jane Yellowrock, is a Skinwalker and I’ve never read a book where the Skinwalker wasn’t an evil character. Skinwalkers can take the shape of any animal, and as Jane takes shape we see her struggle with her inner beast. I found that struggle to be just as interesting as her investigation. She is inhuman, yet that struggle humanizes her and makes her someone we can identify with and like. Continue reading “This Chick Read: Skinwalker (Jane Yellowrock #1) by Faith Hunter”
