Shattered Bonds (Jane Yellowrock)
Jane Yellowrock must dig deep and find strength within herself if she is to survive in the latest novel in this New York Times bestselling series.
Jane Yellowrock is vampire-killer-for-hire, but her last battle with an ancient arcane enemy has brought her low. She seeks retreat in the Appalachian Mountains to grieve the loss of her friends, and to heal—or to die—from the disease brought on by her magic.
But malevolent elements in the paranormal community still seek to destroy Jane, and a terrifying foe stalks her, even into the safety of the hills. With nowhere to run and her body failing, the rogue-vampire hunter and her inner Beast must discover a way to defeat this new threat, and find a form that gives her a chance to fight another day.

Shattered Bonds by Faith Hunter is the 13th installment in the Jane Yellowrock series, and while I’m embarrassed to admit it took me nearly two years to finish (I swear, I forgot I purchased the Kindle book and it didn’t really take me that long!), I thoroughly enjoyed the narrative once I rediscovered it on my Kindle. As with many long-running series, this book has a sense of familiarity—though the plot itself has become somewhat predictable and repetitive. By this point, there’s no real tension that Jane won’t triumph in the end.
However, what Shattered Bonds excels at is its return of beloved characters, and it offers some nice growth in the relationships. While the stakes may not feel as high, it’s still a fun and engaging read, especially for longtime fans of Jane and her world. The book continues to deliver Hunter’s trademark action and atmosphere, making it a satisfying experience overall.
In the end, it’s another solid addition to the series, even if it doesn’t quite break new ground. It’s a great way to catch up with the characters we’ve come to know and love—just be prepared for a bit of predictability.
