I like the character of Jane Yellowrock but not as well as the Patricia Briggs characters. My favorite character is Ilona Andrews, Magic series. 
 However, this is a good book. It is probably one of the best ones of this series that I have read. I like the fact that she makes mistakes and is always saying the wrong thing and many times getting herself in trouble. It makes the character appealing to read. I don't always like when she shifts into "beast" and the writing becomes very stilted. I know this is because of the thinking of the "beast" character, but I just don't personally like it as well. 
 However, I plan on reading the rest of the series. It is pretty good.
