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.

WHO WOULD'VE THUNK IT?

I've always enjoyed wolfie or vamp stories, but never would've thought I would be cheering on a vampy couple's love after Twilight. Go Team Cat & Bones!!

Yum!

I only just discovered Cat and Bones, I am so thrilled I did. I don't like some vampire books, but this series is pretty good! Very steamy love scenes. Like "Twilight" for adults!

Loving this series!

I find myself so engrossed in this series and excited to listen to the next one. It's easy to escape to this world Jeaniene has created because it has different elements than just the typical "vampire" story. She's made her world unique and I love that about these books.

Just when you think it's happily ever after for Cat and Bones, another threat looms on the horizon and threatens not only their relationship, but her life. The villain in this story is well done, not too predictable and very easy to hate. Not even hate to love, just loathe this villain. I wish on every star that her series would be picked up for a TV show because they would be phenomenal to see on screen.

The narrator has yet again done an amazing job with this story. She really captures each character's voice and separates them all so it's easy to know who is who. That's talent considering how many characters there are in this series. I love listening to her and would listen to probably anything she reads.

10000% worth the credit and money. It's best to start at book 1 though.

Always fun, exciting and sexy as hell

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.

Amazing!

I haven’t written any reviews on this series, but has to for this one. The other books are great, but this one was the best so far. I couldn’t stop listening. I love Cat and Bones and love Vlad! I have read his story and he’s a way different character in these than in his own story. There was so much action and nail biting and twists, that it sucks you in. Can’t wait for the next book.
