There are a couple that I am looking forward to this week, like the Supernatural anthology (the very first anthology in which I read all of the represented series. Nice). Also, Sharie Kohler has a new Moon Chaser book out this week, called Night Falls on the Wicked. But for my pick of the week, I had to go to a favorite in Jeaniene Frost‘s One Grave at a Time. I don’t mind Cat, but I adore Bones and can’t seem to get enough of him. Plus, I do love the little bits of Vlad we get in each book.
Synopsis…
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?
Holy crap. I just realized I am now two Night Huntress books behind, since I just found This Side of the Grave waving at me from the peak of Mt. TBR. Huh. Wonder how that happened?
We don’t see Vlad in this book. So sad
No Vlad? That blows. I do love Vlad, even if it is to see how he makes Bones mental. Oh, well, his turn next, I guess.
You get Vlad in book 5 though!
I’m bummed about not reading about him in this book 
I am actually surprised that there is no Vlad. I thought the build up to his story would get its start here.
So did I and then I read it a couple of places that he wasn’t in it
Huh, guess we are not alone looking for Vlad, then.
As soon as I finish “Blood Bound” by Rachel Vincent (which I’m loving BTW), I’m starting this one! Love me some Cat & Bones!
You haven’t read the last one? Get reading lady! LOL!
I haven’t read any Rachel Vincent yet, so I should check that one out.
I know. I stared at Cat and Bones 5 in shock, wondering what had happened and how it escaped me. The shame.
Her Shifter series is one of my favorites. If you ever read it, just know it definitely gets better after book 1. I liked book one, but most people really get into the series after the first book. By the 3rd book, you’re completely hooked
Is there a main romantic interest (a la Curran)? That is the big selling point for me. I think that series just wrapped up, too, didn’t it?
Well…I know that’s a big thing for you, but this one does have a love triangle. That’s all I’m going to say about it, because I don’t want to give anything else away
I’m usually like you with the one love, but this is a good series.
As for Curran, we don’t get more of him until 2013
Triangle, huh? I usually get all upset for the “loser” of the triangle (like Adrian). I think I will have to give them a shot, though, since you haven’t steered me wrong yet.
If you do end up reading the Shifters, know that it gets progressively better after book 1 (in my opinion)
hope you like it!
Thanks, Amber. Will be giving them a shot.
