Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene FrostMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Destined for an Early Grave is the 4th installment of the Night Huntress series and are emotions running high in the vampire world!!! And for me too….Cat & Bones are back…yay yay yay….
Cat and Bones are off to Paris for a well-earned vacation but something is happening to her that is totally freaking her out. Nightmares of being chased by a vampire that she doesn’t remember but knows that she knows him somehow.
Cat doesn't remember Gregor at all because Bones, grandsire Mencheres was able to erase Cat's memories of her time with Gregor
What a shock – Mencheres, master vampire and Bone’s grandsire informs them that Cat had been seduced by Gregor, a master vampire and dreamsnatcher when she was sixteen and Mencheres erase all those memories from her head but Gregor now wants his mate back.
This is a total disaster…Cat and Bones are now married and in love and no way are they going to be “torn asunder” by the evil Gregor!!
An engrossing story filled with past memories, new revelations, secrets, passion, love, friendship and characters we have grown to love and some great and new ones too.
Characters that stand out to me (apart from Cat & Bones…who are still my favs…
Mencheres – wow, this guy has been hiding another side of himself. Here I had this idea of a wise, serious and cold vamp…but then he shows he has a sense of humor..
“Then you remember the dream,” Mencheres stated. “That bodes ill.”
The fear of that made my reply snappy. “Hey, Walks Like an Egyptian, how about for once you drop the formal stuff and talk like you live in the twenty-first century?”
“The shit’s gonna splatter, start buggin, yo,” Mencheres responded instantly.
Fabian – what a ghoul!
Justina – Cat’s mother. Absolutely love her character….never thought she had it in her when it came to vampires…what a surprise.
Vlad – I have grown to like him more and more as I get to know him. Love his relationship and interaction with Cat.
Slade Gorgeous and can’t wait for his book.
Tate – his infatuation with Cat is driving me crazy…I know…I like him but I wish he would get over her or he’s going to lose his head if Bones has a say in it!!!! Can’t he find someone else to love?????
Using New Orleans as a setting is absolutely perfect for this series. The dark and moody feel makes it a perfect world for demons, ghouls, vampires, ghosts and other urban fantasy creatures. The scene where Bones and Cat go to the cemetery to meet voodoo ghoul queen Marie Laveau, who may be able to help them fight Gregor is so vividly written that one could feel the scary and creepiness of being in a dark cemetery.
. The meeting is also filled with some amazingly humorous moments.
A fun and totally enjoyable read. And can’t wait for book #5!!
