This was not only fabulous, but it so made me want to read the rest of the series again. If you thought At Grave’s End took you on an emotional roller coaster ride, that is going to be nothing compared to Destined for an Early Grave.

Overall, if you’re a fan of Frost’s Night Huntress series, you’re going to love this novel. Yeah, I just threw that quote in because it’s just a great line. “His intelligence was just camouflaged under a mountain of pussy.” “Bones has always been smart,” I muttered. The shit does hit the fan and no one is safe from the backlash. Just imagining him saying this cracks me up every time, but while it adds a bit of humor to the novel, it also describes the forthcoming tension perfectly. I’m not going to tell you who says it, but seriously, when you find out who does, I’m sure you’ll be thinking the same thing as I did – it so should not be coming from this mans mouth. The shit’s gonna splatter, start buggin’, yo. One such instance is when a certain character says this: We’re given a lot of great action, intrigue and dialog, but there are also moments of intense laughter and hilarity. I read Destined for an Early Grave awhile ago and I wasn’t planning on reading it again until it came out on July 28th but when I went looking for one simple sentence to tease my fellow Frost Fans members, I was sucked back in and didn’t surface for 30 pages. It’s not only a new twist (to me) in a vampire novel, but it’s executed so well that you can’t help but be instantly absorbed. I have to say that I am loving the villain that Gregor has. The very presence of Gregor throws everything out of whack and let’s just say that they don’t handle his threat very well. An outside force is threathening their relationship and their very volatile natures do not help them at all when dealing with it. Cat is thrown a bunch of obstacles in Destined for an Early Grave, and her relationship with Bones is put to the ultimate test.

Not only are we given some great character development on Cat, plus we’re given even more uniqueness that she is as a half-breed. I am so going to repeat myself….OMG this was fabulous! You will not be prepared for the events that take place in Destined for an Early Grave. She’s having visions of a vampire named Gregor who’s more powerful than Bones and has ties to her past that even Cat herself didn’t know about.

But their hopes for a perfect Paris holiday are dashed when Cat awakes one night in terror. Since half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her undead lover Bones met six years ago, they’ve fought against the rogue undead, battled a vengeful Master vampire, and pledged their devotion with a blood bond. I actually read Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost awhile ago, but since there was such a gap between when I read it and when it was released, I didn’t write a review.
