Rating: 4/5


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 herself - and Bones - from a fate worse than the grave.


Have i mentioned before that i love Bones. This is one paranormal series where there's the right amount of humour, sarcasm and all round nastiness. My type of book.

Cat is a half Vampire who is back with her hot Vampire Bones. She heads a team that deals with the nasty vamps who kill humans. In the last book, Cat got back with Bones, married him vampire style and met her father Max.
Book 3 of the Night Huntress Series begins with Cat and Bones deciding to get married (white dress and big wedding style) and Tate deciding to go the vamp way.

Things spiral out of control after that with Max kidnapping and torturing her before Bones rescues her.
There's a wider plot that unfurls where Mencheres, Bones' grandsire had made a long ago prediction due to which Cat and Bones' lives are now in danger.

What follows in unions and alliances, a two thousand year old love story gone wrong and the use of forbidden magic that wreaks havoc. In short - war.

There are quite a few new characters in the books - the villains and people from Bones' family. Then there's Vlad, the original Dracula, who i quite liked. As always there's banter between Bones and Justina. The best was Bones telling Justina that him and Cat are getting married. You can always rely on Bones for the sarcasm, humour and the always present British accented one liners.

The characters have grown in this third book. i felt they've grown a bit more serious. I still think that Cat is a bit childish at times. Like after the ceremony between Bones and Mencheres when they realise there will be war, Cat's worried about postponing her wedding.

This is a fast paced fun read that you shouldn't miss.
