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.

Wonderful :)

You know when you have a viciously bad itch that you just cannot reach? How it irritates and makes your skin crawl to the point where you want to scream and take your skin off? Now, remember the gushing waterfall of relief that washes over you once you finally get it scratched? You know that cleansing relief that is so powerful that you think you might sell your soul to maintain it. That is what it is like to read this installment. As always, Tavia Gilbert is perfect.

I Love the Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Froat

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I have never been very interested in paranormal books. I ran across the first book in this series on my Library's web-site and downloaded it. I loved listening to it and I have since purchased all the audio books in this series.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Of course I love Cat and Bones, that goes without saying. But I also like Spade, Mencheres, and Vlad Tepesh. I also like Cat's mom, she's a hoot.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I listened to my this story on my ipod all day while I was doing some outside work.

Good book

Any additional comments?

I can't get enough of Bones and Cat! The adventures the couple find themselves in are non-stop exciting, intersting, and attention grabbing. This story is well crafted with great world building. The stories can be listened to/ read independently from the others in the series but I recommend starting with book one.
