About this listen

For the first time - in one Audible-exclusive collection - it's 13 stories of Jane Yellowrock, the shape-shifting skinwalker and vampire hunter for hire whose business card reads, "Have Stakes - Will Travel". Jane carries inside her the soul of her Beast, the mountain lion's soul which merged with hers when she accidently performed black magic as a child. Now, she and her Beast stalk the dark streets of New Orleans, bringing rogue vampires true death.

In Cat o' Nine Tales, you'll discover how Jane turned into a big cat for the first time; how she and Molly became friends; how Rick LaFleur got his tattoos. You'll go along on some of Jane's early vamp hunts. You'll even hear two short tales through Bruiser's eyes.

Once you experience these stories set in the fantastic world of this New York Times best-selling series, you'll surely agree with Kim Harrison that Jane Yellowrock is "smart, sexy and ruthless".

The stories included in Cat o' Nine Tales are:

"WeSa and the Lumber King"
"The Early Years"
"Cat Tats"
"Kits"
"Haints"
"Signatures of the Dead"
"First Sight"
"Blood, Fangs and Going Furry"
"Dance Master"
"Cajun With Fangs"
"Golden Delicious"
"Beneath a Bloody Moon"
"Black Water"

Critic reviews

"Khristine Hvam is an outstanding narrator.... Hvam brings warmth and realism to Hunter's unusual characters and adds depth to the ambiance of the New Orleans settings. Her performance is splendid as she carefully creates a multitude of male and female characters, human and otherwise. The entire package flies by quickly, and listeners will want more." ( AudioFile)

It's great to read some short stories about Jane and the gang. There's lots of explanation for things not explained in the full length books. As a Jane fan I would recommend it to anybody who is just starting this type of story.

Most of the short stories up to Black Arts (book 7) in one book. Stories are from different characters perspectives not just Jane's.

great anthology

This was a most delightful return into Jane Yellowrock's world, remeet the characters, reading stories with a different POV than the main series, getting the beginning of her Soulwood series.
And then there came this question up, how could I ever forget about the grindilows, most enigmatic supernatural creatures, so cute, so deadly 😍

Delightful

I will especially selected stories. It's a book you can dip in to at any time. Each short story is a complete entity and suitable for journeys or waiting rooms.

Kristine Hvam is marvellous in rendering these JY books for the listener. Her versatility and scope are amply demonstrated in these short stories from the world of Jane Yellowrock.

These stories flesh out references in the main novels, in some case fills in blanks and explains in better and more detail than in the main novels. Ricky Bo's tattoos for example, how he got them and why they prevent his Were transformation. The first three novels take place before Book #1 and demonstrates how much the relationship between Jane and Beast has changed. We have a better explanation of how Jane and Molly met.

I think this compilation of short stories is important to the JY canon. I think Faith Hunter managed to satisfy her fans questions and curiosity without padding out the series; without the needless addition of novels to the series as so many authors/publishers do.

Short Stories to Fill in the Gaps.

I love Jane Yellowrock books! These are on my auto buy and we run them in the car for journeys. Cat o' nine tales are novellas which start way back before Jane walked out of the forest and was taken in by the childrens home.

You get to know how Ricky-bo got his tats, what Bruiser really thought when he first met her and that dance. They bridge the gaps between the books that you didn't know existed.

Backstory and novellas that bridge the series
