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.

Must read

Jeaniene Frost is a guaranteed good listen ,I haven’t listened to one thing that wasn’t worth it

A Thrilling Emotional Roller Coaster

The separation of the main couple was gut wrenching and depressing. I was so overjoyed when they worked out their problems and made up. The ending was so tense, I found myself holding my breath while listening!

Good but dark

Much darker than the other books. Touches on abuse which maybe a sensitive topic for some.

Still a great series

This book was challenging to like because of the continuous fights between Bone and Cat. I still like the series and look forward to the next book.

This is the best book yet!!!!

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.

An essential for Vampire Fiction

Usually, a series can tend to get dull after so many books, not this one....I've read them all and still waiting for another to come out. Cat and Bones are the ultimate supernatural couple and their "interactions" are some of the steamiest, hottest and best written scenes I've had the pleasure of reading so far. Most erotic scenes I've read in other books are just ridiculous or predictable....to the point where I'm rolling my eyes . Not the scenes between Cat and Bones...they are fantastically written and the imagery you get is best experienced in a dim room behind closed doors. It's just that good.

If you are a fan of this genre - THIS is the series to own. Worth every credit or penny you spend.

Great, fun, escapism fiction

Love Kat & Bones, the narrator, the author's twist (unanticipated and perfect for future stories) and, of course, Chapter 26...

My all-time favorite series this year so far!

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

By all means!

What did you like best about this story?

The relationships feel authentic. The sex is very erotic without being ugly or pornographic. True love actually seems to have a real chance of triumphing.

What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

She's absolutely amazing!! Truly brings the story to life. And, I think I'm actually falling into major crush with her Crispin voice (awkward!). Everytime I hear him...um, her...say "ki-en", I have a little thrill ;). She quite expert at knowing how to deliver a funny line, which I also love about this series and the Stackhouse series, it's ability to make me laugh out loud every so often.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

Too many to list.

Any additional comments?

This book's storyline is like the cigarette to its writing and narrations orgasm ...(that is if I smoked anymore). Was completely satisfied when the book was finished and ready to order the next one right away. In the past mainly a mystery reader, I'm usually happier with quirky characters, a few bodies, interesting plot twists and just leave out any romance thank you; but I have to say, I'm being converted to this genre with books like this one. I love it when a writer doesn't leave you wishing you'd never picked up the darned book and then spent 20+ hrs with it. This one certainly didn't. Thank you so much Jeniene Frost! You have earned my undying loyalty.... Please keep it up..PJ
