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.

Amazing

This is my favorite book in the series! Stayed up all night to finish it. Some aspects are unbelievable but then again this is PNR.... I want Cat and Bones to win and get some peace so bad I couldn't fall asleep... I'm excited to see Cat's power develop.

Kat-Bones <3

In this book, I loved how their relationship grew giving you a glimpse of how imperfect lovers interactions can be, and again action scenes are nicely done, a strong female lead with a lot of imperfections as a young adult and male is very charming ;) plus the Night Prince is here too :). I really like the whole world of this Night Huntress novels.
The voice actor is amazing, I love how she portrays each character and accents.

The power duo (same author and narrator) is back at it again!💜

This is the seventh book in the world of the Night Huntress Cat and her hot and steamy very lethal husband Bones. It is definitely a book with action, laughs, tears, and there’s parts that will make you mad! On top of all that, we get to experience the love story that continues to grow between Cat and Bones. As the Night Huntress World continues it just gets better and better with every book! I am so glad I have all 21 books in the series so I can revisit this captivating World anytime I choose!

Good

I liked this one, but not a favorite. I felt that Cat was a little too impatient and impulsive. I realize it's due to her age and inexperience.
Loved all the scenes with Vlad. What a great character.

The duel at the end of the story.

There was a bit too much of Kat’s hateful inner dialogue. It comes off as
Strident.
