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.

This series is addicting!!! Highly recommended. The plot is intricate, characters compelling and narration superb. I often forget that I have not seen these in a movie format because once you begin listening you are immediatly emersed into the world of the night huntress - Thank you Jeaniene Frost for sharing your gift.

I found this to be the highest octane ride off all the NH novels including the NHW ones too. The friction between Cat and Bones and the pace of the action had me riveted on the edge of my seat for a large portion of the plot. I enjoy this series immenseley and the peripheral characters have grown to such a degree that this book only enhances our knolwedge and affection of them. There are some fabulous one liners that had me bursting in to laughter. There are as many locations as a Bond film, tonnes of action, romance, and plot twists and turns. The rules are changing and the scope for Cat seems limitless as does Bones' love..
From the audio aspect I would have to lower the rating a little, as mentioned before in earlier NH book reviews, this narrator does not do Bones well. It is the actual accent and mispronounciation of some words that grate often. Over time it has improved a little or I may have gotten used to it. Cat, however, comes to life and I anchor well to her through this narrator. The other characters are fine.

I've read the print version of this many times but Tavia's reading makes a powerful book even better. You hear the pain, anquish, heartbreak and the love Cat and Bones have for each other.

This book has been the best of the series in my opinion! It has what the last book was missing, passion, and action from the first page! I absolutely love this series and can hardly wait until the next book is released. Cat and Bones are my favorite lovers/haters/romanitcs/killers I've met so far! I also LOVE the fact that they have used the same narrator on ALL the books. She is good, does good voices and I don't have to adjust to a new reader after every book.

This series is a great mix of action and sensual romance. I am not one to bear those mooning romance type novels. Although I found there was a bit of a continuity problem with this book. Bones level of strength is supposed to be unheralded because of the merging with his Grand Sires line, but Cat seems to doubt his strength at every turn. If you’re not a stickler for such minute detail, it is a very enjoyable book.
One bit of advice, although I was excited to see book 5 and rushed to purchase it immediately, I found that there are lots of spoilers for the Night Huntress world books 1 and 2. So I had to stop listening and go back and order those two to catch up.

I just LOVE this series!! It is, for me, one that I can (and have) listened to several times!! When I don't know what I want to read, I have a few authors I fall back on, and Jeaniene Frost is one of them. I think the relationship between Cat and Bones is REAL! It is sad and funny and snarky and sexy! Cat is a very head strong warrior type woman and has a hard time listening to and taking the advise from Bones and she always seems to get herself into trouble when she doesn't listen. I'm not saying Bones is right all of the time but.........Cat should trust him more. I have already read the whole series, and I must say.....WHAT A RIDE!! and keep them coming.

Frost and Gilbert!
This team continues to make this a strong audio series, that shows no signs of slowing down. There are turning points in this book that open up the possibilities for the future of Cat and Bones. Don't stop reading.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would definitely recommend this story. It is very funny, intelligently written and suspenseful. I walk dogs for a living and the time goes very quickly while I listen to Jeanien Frost.
What other book might you compare Destined for an Early Grave to and why?
I would compare this with any of Kresley Cole's books, because her books are also very funny, intelligently written and suspenseful.
Have you listened to any of Tavia Gilbert’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven't, but I would compare her to Johanna Parker that narrates Sookie Stakehouse series.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, but that ok.

I genuinely didn't guess where the author takes this next installment in bones and cats story. it has definitely kept my interest and I'm looking forward to whatever she'll come up with next for them!
I really love the relationship dynamics in these books, they are frustratingly accurate and had me really frustrated with Cat or Bones or both throughout the book! ok so maybe we don't keep death match traps from our partners lol but the emotional principals of keeping a secret to 'protect' the other and the unintended impact that can have remain the same. frustratingly good because it had me desperately listening and hoping they'd be able to sort things out while also wanting to know what would happen with this installments fantasy story thread - how did Cat make that jump? who would win from the love rivals, what's going on with Don, not what I think I hope?! Yep J Frost has me hooked...
Where does Destined for an Early Grave rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
This series by J.Frost has kept me awake to 1am each morning hoping to get to the end of each book. It is so bad I sometimes resort to listening to the last chapter so I can get to sleep and then listen to the rest of the book later.
