Resumen del Editor

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.

Top author and listen

I am a huge fan of the Night Huntress series. Totally exciting and very well presented. Love it to bits. I'll be reading all the series again. :)

They keep getting better!

Seriously every one these books are better than the one before it! great narration to an amazing story!

Might be my favorite in the series

This is one I listen to over and over again. I also like the version she has of it from Outtakes from the Grave. Ra is Gilbert is a delight for the ears. Frost’s wit and creativity at their highest. I love any scene with Vlad and Bones I can’t say enough good about it!

5 stars

This one pulls at all the heartstrings and has so many feels. Plus non stop action. Definitely one of my favorites of the series.
Tavia Gilbert shows an AMAZING range of voices in this book. Just wow!

not my favorite

so far all of the book in the series have been good. this book however made the main character appear whiny, foolish, and childish. I'm hoping that the next one will make up for it.

Great series. Worth every credit.

Almost a year ago, I had amassed credits on my account and found a few books to use them up and close my account. One of them was the first book in this series. My 17-year old daughter and I listened to that book late this summer while traveling and I had to rejoin Audible just to get the entire series. The sex scenes can be a bit much, but that would be my only complaint. This series is addictive. We blasted through 5 books in a few weeks and were anxiously awaiting the next credits.

The story: The characters are believable and engaging. They are dynamic. The plots are interesting and fast-moving with just enough twists to keep a sharp mind attentive. The sex scenes are believable and fairly graphic (for my 17-year old, but we openly discuss such things so I was okay with it.) One big caveat: Go to her website to get the reading order. I believe that after book 3, you need to switch to the "Night Huntress World" series before reading books 4 and 5. Double check that, I'm going from memory.

The performance: The reader was FANTASTIC. She really brought the characters to life. She made the action scenes and scenes with emotion really shine. I've since gone looking for other things that she reads.

If another installment of this series came available, it would jump to the top of my wish list.

Awesome Book

As I said before this is an excellent series to read. Especially the main characters are great.

Another good listen.

This is one of my favorite series I have read so far. I thought Rachel Morgan, the Hollows was my favorite until I read this series..Worth every credit or dollar on all books in this series including the spinoff books. Love Tavia Gilbert.

And My Heart Breaks ....

Would you consider the audio edition of Destined for an Early Grave to be better than the print version?

I have not read the printed version but there is a points in the story were I feel it is better to have the audio copy then the digital/printed copy. Some aspects of the book are more effective if they are heard rather than read.

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

When Cat was remembering her times with Gregor and then how it made Bones feel.

Have you listened to any of Tavia Gilbert’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This series is the only time I have listened to Tavia narrate but she does an excellent job.

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

Yes I started it on Monday and will complete it on Wednesday. If life didn't happen I would have never taken my head phones out.
