At Grave’s End<\/a><\/em> (2009) Jeaniene Frost<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Cat and Bones are still working for Homeland Security, but Cat’s been working long enough that her disguise has worn thin–especially since Bones has become quite recognizable in the vampire world. To make things worse, Cat’s father is still looking for her, and doesn’t want a happy family reunion.<\/p>\n

I’m really enjoying the Night Huntress series. Although Cat occasionally does dumb things, she doesn’t so stupid thing, if you know what I mean. Yes, she makes mistakes, but not the mistakes that have the reader yelling (perhaps mentally, perhaps not) DON’T BE SO STUPID! (Unfortunately, I’ve come across more than one supernatural fantasy series where the heroine was really too stupid to live.)<\/p>\n

One of the things I particularly like is that Cat and Bones fight and argue–and they have good reason to fight and argue–but they don’t hold grudges and they get past their problems. Sure Cat sometimes has doubts and worries, but she knows how Bones feels about her, and how she feels about him. It’s a very nice change from most books where there is constant upheaval between the heroine and her love. <\/p>\n

One of the things I particularly enjoyed in At Grave’s End<\/em> were the vampires that came in with Menchares. Yes, Vlad was good, but I just loved the idea of Doc. It almost makes me wish that part was true, because it’d be awesome if he was still around.<\/p>\n

Although you could probably read At Grave’s End<\/em> without having read the previous two books, I don’t think I’d recommend it. Each book contains a complete story arc, but the stories build upon each other, and events in later books have greater meaning if you’ve read the earlier books. So if you like supernatural fantasy, I strongly recommend the Night Huntress series–as long as you don’t mind some serious boinking.
