What a great book, this series just keeps developing in such fabulous ways. I loved seeing more of Bones' past, that he seems not to hide it but not draw attention to it. Cat is typical Cat, she rushes in headfirst without really thinking about anything first off or listening to what everyone else is saying. Which makes this quite an action packed book. ( )

I enjoyed this one much more than the last but I did find it a bit out there. I'm interested to see where Frost goes from here. Eagerly waiting for the next book in the series. ( )

It's hard not to gush when reviewing anything by Jeaniene Frost, especially the Night Huntress series. This is simply because she has an inordinate balance, a grasp on the critical elements that make readers clamor for more. The creation of Bones is right up there with Tom Fenris, Jamie Frasier, Jean-Claude, Erik Northman, and Kisten. In fact, I think the series is more Bones' rather than Cats. The dialogue is flawless, illuminating both the mind-set, and emotional framework of the interactions between our two dynamic main characters. One feverishly keeps flipping pages because It's.Just.That.Good.

In Destined For An Early Grave Bones and Cat hit yet again another road bump, but this one surpasses all the other obstacles they have encountered. Another vamp, has laid a prior blood claim to Cat and a fight is on that could flow into a full-scaled war among the factions, particularly that of Menchere's line and Gregor's. Bones' is not ready in this life, or next, to give up Cat to this usurper-but the rocky road their path has been paved upon has been done so with as much love, as distrust, and fear.

Those components play a major part in the evolution of these characters. There is a huge break, (ladies blink back the tears) `tween Cat and Bones and it's so seriously wrought that I was truly, truly, taken in.(Bravo Jeaniene!)And the final hurdle to cross over permanently becomes blazingly obvious for the two. Will Cat take the final step and have Bones turn her fully?

Without a doubt, Destined is the finale to end all finales for this series but Frost wouldn't put us out in the cold. She's created a spin-off series with Spade (slurp) that I am eagerly looking forward to.

I'd say whomever Frost modeled Bones after, please point me in his direction stat! ( )

These books are pretty trashy, but they're well written trash! And fun. This book is my second favorite in the series, after the previous (One Foot in the Grave). ( )

I loved this book. I thought Bones was a bit...of a jerk towards Cat and I thought Cat was a bit...Naive. If they had only communicated such is life of a married couple sometimes I like the direction that JF is taking her world and her characters. I like that with each book there is growth and development. This book was non-stop action.
I definitely recommend this series and can't wait for future books.

I really enjoyed it. I laughed, I cried, I pulled my hair out, I clenched my teeth, I cheered, then it was over ( )
