Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost

The Blurb...
After their recent war with rogue vampires, Cat thinks a little rest and relaxation are in their future. But she's plagued by dreams of a Master vampire who claims to be from her past. As the dreams intensify and the shadowy figure in them proves to be more than a figment of her subconscious, she realizes there are parts of her past that have been hidden. To unlock these memories and deal with a growing danger to herself and Bones, Cat may have to venture all the way into the grave. But finding out the truth could rock what she knows about herself - and her relationship with Bones.

My Opinion...
A great conclusion to this series, thought Cat and Bones will be appearing in the spin off series. Cat still has many human flaws and so does Bones. A great plot twist and lots of action. Cat should trust Bones more and Bones should stop leaving Cat in the dark.

At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost. Finished February 3rd 2009.



What the Blurb says...

Some Things Won't Stay Buried ... At Grave's End

It should be the best time of half-vampire Cat Crawfield's life. With her undead lover Bones at her side, she's successfully protected mortals from the rogue undead. But though Cat's worn disguise after disguise to keep her true identity a secret from the brazen bloodsuckers, her cover's finally been blown, placing her in terrible danger.

As if that wasn't enough, a woman from Bones's past is determined to bury him once and for all. Caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful vamp, yet determined to help Bones stop a lethal magic from being unleashed, Cat's about to learn the true meaning of bad blood. And the tricks she's learned as a special agent won't help her. She will need to fully embrace her vampire instincts in order to save herself – and Bones – from a fate worse than the grave.

My review...

This is the 3rd Book in the Night Huntress series. Cat and Bones have really developed as Characters. I love this series very much. It's just so well written and engrossing. Can't wait for 'Destined for an Early Grave'
