Publisher's summary

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. Now it’s time for a vacation. But their hopes for a perfect Paris holiday are dashed when Cat awakes one night in terror. 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.

Gregor believes Cat is his and won’t stop until he has her. As the battle begins between the vamp who haunts her nightmares and the one who holds her heart, only Cat can break Gregor’s hold over her. She’ll need all the power she can summon in order to bring down the baddest bloodsucker she’s ever faced … even if getting that power will result in an early grave.

Cat & Bones ❤️

I have fallen in love with this dynamic duo. I’m so hooked on the book series, better than Twilight. I do have to say I missed the heated passion in this book, although it is there it just wasn’t as intense as the others. . All ready reading the next book in the author recommended order.

Ahh... Marital Problems...

I hated Cat’s rude sarcasm at times, and loved her for it. I had come across this series after reading Night Huntress World Series. I love the characters and it’s the reason why moving onto the next. At times I hated it, loved it; and couldn’t pause to put it down. Performance was absolutely fantastic for me. I didn’t start this book series in order; but didn’t hurt. It can be read as a stand alone. You’ll end up reading about the other characters anyway <3

Great Story

I love Cat and Bones. Great narrator. I was excited to learn more about how Vlad knew Cat and Bones. I started reading the Night Prince series before I read this book and did not understand their relationship. So read all the Cat & Bones books before that series.

Great Story

I love this author's imagination. Just when I think the story can't go any farther, she manages to surprise me.

Destined for forever

What can I say if you didn’t like the first three books then don’t bother? But if you have become a fan of the crazy ongoing relationship of Cat and Bones then climb on board for the ride. Because a ride you’ll get. This book comes down to choices for Cat and Bones and with any stormy relationship with fiery personalities there are all of those outside challenges and influences that make that choice more intense.
Yes this worth a credit

Cat and Bones...my favorite duo!

If you haven't met Cat and Bones you are missing out! Start at book 1 and you will be hooked. I fell in love with Cat and Bones in book 1 and when I listen to the next story I fall in love all over again! Their adventures are daring and dangerous and their together times are sexy and very hot! The narration is fabulous...when a story brings tears to my eyes, the narrator deserves at least half the credit!

Best Book of The Series!

Where does Destined for an Early Grave rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

One of the best! The narrator is terrific!

What was one of the most memorable moments of Destined for an Early Grave?

The death of a major character and the sort of death of two others.

Which character – as performed by Tavia Gilbert – was your favorite?

Bones is always my favorite and she does such a great job with the accent.

Any additional comments?

I wondered where Frost would take the story after the last book. And I have to say, I never say this coming. The suprises start from the very beginning and pretty much never stop coming. Cat and Bones once again put their love to the test, and not even the emergence of a Vampire who swears he married Cat before bones can pull them apart. Spade, Ian, Mom, Rodney, Vlad, and all the other good ones are back. Vlad proves he isn't the jerk Bones thinks he is. Cat and Bones adopt a new member into their entourage: a ghost! And the Ghoul Queen of New Orleans, Mystique comes into play, and I assume we will be seeing more of her in the future. A major character dies, permanently. And another major character dies, but comes back as one of the undead. Definitely the best of the series thus far!

Good for a long drive

The story seemed to lag in some parts, but overall I enjoyed this book. The series is good and I like the introduction of new characters.
