Dakota also gets involved with taking care of a young Beastkin, this reminded me a bit of the Beastkin in the Kate Daniels series by Ilona Andrews. Dakota can do some pretty unique things as a Skindancer, but she is not invincible and has to work with her limitations too.As with many urban fantasies there are werewolves, shapeshifters, and vampires. Dakota is still just starting to understand her power as a Skindancer. I also loved the idea behind Skindancers. I really loved the magical tattoo system here, it is very unique. The two separate events start to converge and Dakota begins to find she may have bitten off more than she can handle.This was a well done urban fantasy. Right around the same time a werewolf commissions her to make him a special binding tattoo to help contain his were side. She gets called into a case as a consultant to consult on a series of serial murders involving magical tattoos. It’s definitely one I would recommend listening to if you like audiobooks.Dakota Frost is a magical tattoo artist and a Skindancer. The narrator does an excellent job with character voices and conveys emotion well. It was a well done urban fantasy that I enjoyed.As mentioned above I listened to this on audiobook and it was very well done. This is the first of three books (so far) in the Skindancer series. I have had this book forever to read and just finally got around to listening to it on audiobook.

if you're looking for a similar tough-girl approach to the magical world. Same basic premise, same leading character, different magic system. That was a bit of psychological realism that I often wonder at the lack of in many books.įinally, this book is eerily similar to Amazon Ink, by Lori Devoti. Kudos to the author for including the victimization complex that happens after an attack. Hardly - it was fun and creative, an awful lot like cotton candy - melts in your mouth fast, doesn't have an awful lot of substance, but is pretty darned yummy. This is not to say that Frost Moon was a bad book. People waltzed in just at the right (or wrong) time, and in ways that were totally unlikely (a series of friends who walk into a trap? really?). There was a lot of suspension of disbelief involved, though every man looked like he was out of GQ and wanted the leading character, and every woman was mind-blowingly beautiful (and usually also wanted the leading character). I have to say that I really did enjoy it - it sucked me right in in a way that a lot of urban fantasy really doesn't, and I ended up reading it in an evening. If you're a fan of urban fantasy, murder mysteries and tough broads, this may be the book for you.
