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 herselfâ??and Bonesâ??from a fate worse than the grave… (more)
This got me out of a book slump, and that—and my continued love for Bones—rounds it up to a 4-star rating. It was a decent plot, but the ending was rather rushed. I liked seeing Ian again and Vlad for the first time in this series (they each have their own series, which I will probably check out eventually). I like these books for the romance, not necessarily for the banter or clever twists. I’m tired of the tension with Tate, which went to ridiculous extremes in this one, and I’m also over Kat’s sexy vampire bait routine when she’s undercover. I think both of those themes are getting the axe (I hope), so I’m looking forward to the next book. I’d love to get to know some of the supporting characters more, so fingers crossed on that. I did like where things landed between Annette and Kat in this book, since female rivalry is not my favorite plot device. I appreciate that their relationship, and also Kat’s relationship with her mother, grow and change as the books progress. Still on board for more! ( )
Full of drama and angst and action. It was almost a bit too much and the ending was a bit too abrupt. But it was still pretty good. I'm still curious to read more in this universe. And I loved the introduction of Vlad. I now can't wait to read his series. ( )
In this third book of the Night Huntress series, the books turn much darker and Cat/Bones face threats from all around them. I would say there is more of a war/revolution theme present rather than the sexy playful vampire romance vibe there was in previous books. ( )
To my husband, for accepting without judging, loving without conditions, laughing instead of getting angry, and thinking of others before yourself. I'm the lucky one.
First words
The man smiled and I let my gaze linger over his face.

Some things just 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.
