Publisher's summary

Danger waits on both sides of the grave…

Half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her vampire husband, Bones, have fought for their lives, as well as for their relationship. But just when they’ve triumphed over the latest battle, Cat’s new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance.

With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing. A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage. Now Cat and Bones are forced to seek help from a dangerous “ally”—the ghoul queen of New Orleans herself. But the price of her assistance may prove more treacherous than even the threat of a supernatural war—to say nothing of the repercussions Cat never imagined.

Love in vein: listen to more novels in the Night Huntress series.

A GHOSTLY GOOD STORY!

This one was good but not great...as Cat and Bones now face the entire ghoul race to avoid a war between their two races.

Ghouls are after Cat...most wanting to kill her to prevent another powerful ghoul from using Cat for his evil purposes. After visiting the ghoul queen of New Orleans for help to prevent war, Cat ends up wielding a ghostly power she doesn't fully understand.

There are some details that come up in here that Jeaniene Frost's other Night Huntress World books touch upon. It is best to read those first before starting this one, as it helps fill in the gaps. Realized this too late.

This book is still a good one and worth the credit. It is filled with many nail bitting scenes along with humorous ones that have you laughing out loud and the second best steamy one in the entire series! :)

Fabulous story with just the touch of erotica

I have greedily devoured all the books from this series and off-shoots. Tavia Gilbert brings characters to life

Great supernatural series!!

I love Cat and Bones. Their love story is a fun read and all the action never disappoints. The narrator is also very good. If you like vampires, ghosts, ghouls, and other assorted beings, this series is for you. If you are grounded in reality--my condolences--you should skip this one!

Fun listen

Ok I loved the performance but the authors description of events are lacking. Phrases such as his check bones were so sharp they could cut butter from an earlier book and describing the an awesome attach that ended with a had landing a foot away from the body in this book. The story is fun though.

The misadventures continue...

Love the book, love the narration (alright it took getting used to), and the laugh of loud moments keep coming. The only down side is my bank account is taking a beating.

I keep thinking there will be a book in this series that will disappoint, but so far they have all been stupendous! Epic battle at the end of this one! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute.

This Side of Great!

Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress series is a favorite paranormal romance series of mine. I'd already read the series but listening to it on audio was even better. Gilbert does an excellent job of bringing the characters to life.

Amazing series for any PNR lovers!
