Having narrowly averted an (under)world war, Cat Crawfield wants nothing more than a little downtime with her vampire husband, Bones. Unfortunately, her gift from New Orleans' voodoo queen just keeps on giving--leading to a personal favor that sends them into battle once again, this time against a villainous spirit. Centuries ago, Heinrich Kramer was a witch hunter. Now, every All Hallows Eve, he takes physical form to torture innocent women before burning them alive. This year, however, a determined Cat and Bones must risk all to send him back to the other side of eternity--forever. But how do you kill a killer who's already long dead?
Cat & Bones are back again! Two Cat & Bones novels in one year is awesome! I am also very happy to say that I enjoyed One Grave at a Time much more than I did This Side of the Grave. The action was pretty great and we had a lot of Ian time, which I adored.
I also enjoyed the military plotline and I hope we get more of it in the next book.
One Grave at a Time was still not my fave in the series, but not my least favorite either =) I also missed Vlad in this one, though I will forgive Jeaniene, because we do have his spin-off coming up hehe.
Now onto the bad news =/ Sigh, what was once one of my favorite UF couples, might be hitting a bit of stagnant period in their relationship. Don’t get me wrong, I still love them, but they are so happy and stable together that I have to agree with my girl Danielle from ALPHA reader, it might be time to bring in an amnesia plotline or throw in the towel and have this power duo as beloved secondary characters in Vlad’s spin-off.
All in all, I am not ready to give up on this series yet, not even close. I love Jeaniene’s writing, world and stories and all that will definitely keep me coming back for more again and again, specially since Jeaniene has absolutely becoma an auto-buy author for me. This is an amazing series and a must read for any Urban Fantasy and Paranormal Romance fan out there!
But, I do have come to expect a lot from this series, and the last couple books just haven’t reached my expectations of greatness for these characters.
Previously On The Night Huntress Series:
Win a SIGNED Night Huntress Series Book by Jeaniene Frost!
"have this power duo as beloved secondary characters in Vlad’s spin-off."
YES! I am totally for that! I think Vlad is more than ready to carry this series (especially if him and his girl don't take the Cat/Bones route and hook up in the first book?)
I would miss Cat's narration, but I think they could be amusing now only as secondary characters. *gulp* it's hard to write that!
Maybe even Tate could take the spotlight and get his own romance going with someone? I don't know. But I think it all leads back to Cat and Bones retiring from the spotlight...
I have only read up to the third book and I really enjoy Cat & Bones, but it sounds like from the review that the series has hit a plateau with the books afterward, which is slighty worrying. I'll keep reading though.
I love this series, but I do agree with your feelings about the last coulple of books. I still look forward to the future books though and I'm really looking forward to Vlad's books :-)
Thanks so much the giveaway! :-) It would be great to win a signed book!
I still have part one of the series on my ginormous TBR pile, BUT the point is I love the premise of the series and am reading so many great things about them, that I couldn't resist entering. Is it weird to claim that Cat and Bones already seem familiar without having read the book (the one with the thin dust layer, ahem)? GFC follower danaan at gmx dot at
Your review is dead on! This was a good read but I've found the last two books in this series to be lacking a certain je ne sais quoi. I definitely did miss Vlad too. I can't wait for when his spin-off is published!
Awesome review! I did enjoy this one, but agree that it was lacking a certain finesse. But it was still enjoyable. Missed Vlad of course, but was super happy to have Ian there! He's one of my faves!
Thank you for the giveaway:) This set of books have been on my to read list for a bit.. I soo can't wait to get started reading them, they look sooo good:):) elliott2668(at)yahoo(dot)com
I havent read the entire series yet. So I am kind of running to catch up but I definitely count Jeaniene Frost as one of favorite authors. Her writing style just pulls you into the story.
Well, I love this series so much! So it´s clear that I can´t wait to read this book too :) But It´s a shame that there wasn´t Vlad this time. I really like him so I think I´ll miss very much! Anyway I think that two fisrt books were best♥
Night Huntress is always on the top on my "MUST READ" list. But yeah, the previous book was a little disappointing. I'm on the 200th page of OGAAT, but i really like it, though it's different from the others. I miss Cat&Bones' time alone and yep i miss Vlad, too, but Ian and Tyler are so funny!! However I still obsessed with this Series and the spin-offs, too!
Thanks for the giveaway! GFC ~ Andreana rea0903(at)gmail(dot)com
I think the opposite of you about their relationship. I think they're finally over all that crap in the beginning and their relationship is great right now. I love not having to worry about Cat doing something stupid. Still, nice review :-)
I really liked this book but I agree that it felt like it was lacking certain tension since Cat and Bones are now stable and happy. But on the other hand, I do like this state of their relationship since it's a bit refreshing to read about.
This is my absolute favourite book series so I definitely look forward to more books from Jeaniene!
I am such a fan of the Night Huntress series, and the spin offs as well. The only book I don't have yet is One Grave at a Time, so it would be awesome to win a copy. I love Bones and Cat's relationship, they've been through so much, I think they deserve a little calm and some down time - let others have problems they can help with.
I completely agree that the last few have become a bit of a disappointment. I think it's like you said though, we've come to expect so much of them that we're setting our sights sort of high. I still love Cat and Bones though, hopefully the next book will knock our socks off! :)
Okay so I can't read this review because I've only read the first two (though I just bought books 3 and 4 and can't wait to start them). I'm sure it's awesome. I'm really loving this series so far, and the characters are epic, and I'm definitely thinking of Bones there. Thanks for the giveaway!
No amnesia plot, I can't see how that would be good for Cat and Bones. I liked the book but it was not one of my favorites in the series. I like the military story line and I loved Tyler! He cracked me right up. Thanks for a chance to win this book.
The Night Huntress Series is the best books out there and the most talked about. What a great review. I NEED THIS BOOK lol. Thanks Joannie jscddmj[at]aol[dot]com
I agree on everything you said in your review! Hopefully Vlad's book will cheer up up though. =DDDD

I don't know, I haven't had a problem with the series just yet. Ian was awesome in the book, he provided much comic relief, but yeah Vlad was missing.
I just started this series. Bones is sooo hawwt. Would be uber-cool to win a book.
Thank you for the giveaway!

I've only read a couple of these books so far but I'm really looking forward to reading the rest! Thanks for an awesome giveaway:)
I love this series and i cant wait for the next book in the series.
I absolutely love Cat & Bones! They are my favorite book couple!
I really liked this book but I agree that it felt like it was lacking certain tension since Cat and Bones are now stable and happy. But on the other hand, I do like this state of their relationship since it's a bit refreshing to read about.
This is my absolute favourite book series so I definitely look forward to more books from Jeaniene!

I have only read the first book in this series, but would love to have time to read the others. Thanks for the giveaway.
Like you, this one wasn't my fave of the series. I missed Vlad a lot also. But she's probably just saving him for his own series.
I'm still sticking with the series anyway. Cat and Bones are rock solid!

You want Cat or Bones to have amnesia? A secret baby, too? That'd definitely stir things up! :)

Okay so I can't read this review because I've only read the first two (though I just bought books 3 and 4 and can't wait to start them). I'm sure it's awesome. I'm really loving this series so far, and the characters are epic, and I'm definitely thinking of Bones there. Thanks for the giveaway!

No amnesia plot, I can't see how that would be good for Cat and Bones. I liked the book but it was not one of my favorites in the series. I like the military story line and I loved Tyler! He cracked me right up.
Thanks for a chance to win this book.
