A Review of At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost

Jeaniene Frost isn't running out of steam or ideas for Bones and Cat, and it is so apparent why Frost has become a popular vampire writer and bestselling author in such a short time.

In At Grave's End is the third book in the Night Huntress series and it rocks.

Cat and Bones are back and this time they are caught in the cross hairs of a big, bad, super powerful old vamp that wants them both dead and won't stop coming until they are both shriveled in the grave.

The bad news? This vamp may get exactly what it wants because it has power, secrets, magic and most of all...someone on the inside. That's right, someone inside the sacred circle of trust is a traitor.

Cat and Bones are already getting attacked every time they turn around, first Cat's dad, Max, launches an all out attack and tried to kill her, but he had help. They need to know who is behind the funding. Someone wants them dead- bad and quick. No matter what they do the threats just keep coming. Who is the traitor?

Is it Bones's sire Ian, who Cat isn't sure she trusts? Is it one of Bones's trusted body guards and long time friends? Or is it the newly turned vampire, Tate, member of Cat's team and the guy that is totally in love with her? Could he be trying to off Bones so he can finally get his chance with Cat? Hell, maybe it is Dracula. Someone is out to get them and has started an all out war among the vampires to ensure they get what they want.

Poor Cat. She's never had a normal life and now she can't even have a normal holiday season or plan a wedding. Sure she and Bones are legally married as far as the vamps are concerned but Cat was hoping for a more traditional wedding. At this point that's never going to happen. How can you plan a wedding in the middle of a war, a war that you are actively engaged in?

If they don't figure out who is after them they may never get the chance to have that wedding anyway.

Frost has delivered another action packed paranormal romance full of wit, sarcasm, sex and violence. Just what the doctor ordered on a cold winter night.

It is easy to see why these books have become instant best sellers. If you are a fan of Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series you will love The Night Huntress series. Similar enough to get you into the books, but different enough you'll get hooked on their originality.

The Night Huntress series has enough romance to make your heart go pitter patter, enough emotion to draw some tears, enough sarcasm and humor you may laugh out loud, and enough sex and violence to keep it interesting, very interesting. Then she throws in a fabulous story line full of plot twists and turns that keep you guessing and you get fabulous characters that are alive (in their own way, undead or otherwise) they reach right out off the page to touch you. Amazing.

I really love Cat. She is such a bad ass with a heart of gold. And Bones...he is sooo YUMMY with a side of fang. Then there's Tate. You can't help but feel for the guy. I almost wish Cat would falter and throw the poor guy a love bone. Too bad Bones would shred him. I wonder how that is going to play out? I hope Tate doesn't get killed, maybe along the way he will find someone special, other than Cat.

I am so glad this series is continuing. It is one worth reading. I can't wait to see what is in store for Bones and Cat in the future.

At Grave's End by Jeaniene Frost

Jeaniene Frost is a star that has quickly risen to the top. Her Night Huntress series featuring the beautiful half-breed vampire, Cat, and her sexy vampire cohort, Bones, has grabbed the attention of vampire lovers everywhere.

I found this series when it first came out, I am so glad that I did. It hooked me with the book jacket and as soon as I started reading it I couldn't put it down.

Jeaniene has a flair for the paranormal and I love it.

This relative newbie to the well known writing world quickly went from nobody to a top somebody with bestselling books, reader's choice awards, and short stories and novellas in anthologies with big names like Kim Harrison and Vicki Petterson.

I loved her story in Weddings from Hell along with stories from other popular writers that I love.

She's going to be in several anthologies coming out in 2009 including The Mammoth Book of Paranormal Romance, Four Dukes and a Devil, and Unbound. You better believe I am going to be reading all of those books.

I applaud her success (and want her agent's number). Jeaniene has sold numerous foreign rights to her works already and her publisher has purchased four more books (so far we are at a count of 7 for the Night Huntress series plus two more books in the Night Huntress world but with different characters).

Great job, Jeaniene. Unlike other writers who often sulk around hating the good fortune of others, I love to see writer's succeed. Especially kick ass ones who tell a fabulous story that I just can't get enough of. One- because I love to read and if these books did not get published I wouldn't have them to enjoy and two it gives me hope that one day I too could achieve such success.

Anyway, I didn't get the chance to get an ARC of At Grave's End so I will be at the store tomorrow to purchase it. I can't wait. I might have to interrupt my reading of Madelyn Alt's witchy series (sorry I don't know if it has a series name, it's a surprise series that I came across while looking for something else, I didn't think I would like it but now I am totally into it).
