Length: 9 hrs and 45 mins

Publisher's summary

You can run from the grave, but you can't hide. Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. She's still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her. But when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind.

Being around him awakens all her emotions, from the adrenaline kick of slaying vamps side by side to the reckless passion that consumed them. But a price on her head—wanted: dead or half-alive—means her survival depends on teaming up with Bones. And no matter how hard she tries to keep things professional between them, she'll find that desire lasts forever and that Bones won't let her get away again.

Jeaniene Frost, New York Times and USA Today best-selling author, lives with her husband and their very spoiled dog in Florida. Although not a vampire herself, she confesses to having pale skin, wearing a lot of black, and sleeping in late whenever possible. And while she can't see ghosts, she loves to walk through old cemeteries. She also loves poetry and animals, but fears children and hates to cook.

Love in vein: listen to another Night Huntress novel.

Critic reviews

“Proving that her first book was no fluke, Frost ratchets up the action and stirs up the suspense big time in her second Night Huntress novel. That said, it's the sizzling passion of her star-crossed lovers that really makes this book a genuine keeper!” ( Romantic Times)

“This series is only getting better…between the exciting action scenes and the rekindled romance between Cat and Bones, I did not put this one down until the last page.” ( Coffee Time Romance)

Can't Put It Down

Bones and Cat are characters that make you want more. I love this series and started the third volume as soon as I finished this book.

More Cat and Bones please

I loved listening to this book. The story is good and solid plus listening to just brings it to life. Tavia Gilbert does a wonderful job with the narration. Can't wait for the next one.

Four years later….

I liked this book better than the first book. I even like the narrator and her quirky accents. Bones and Cat have an electric relationship, they are perfect for each other. Cat has really come into her own since the last book. The way the author wrote this book it almost seemed like this was the first book. There is plenty of action and I like the new friends that Cat acquired. Jeanniene Frost really has a way of creating awkward situations and then finding ways to smooth it out when I thought it might be impossible. She often goes into directions with the story that I don't particular like and I wonder if she will be able to write her way out and be able to make me like it. Amazingly she somehow does. I will be continuing onto the next book soon.

Excellent

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.

awesome book!?

Love the series. glad to have it portable. one of my favorite series in vampire world.

Decent Supernatural Romantic Suspense

As with book 1: Halfway to the Grave, this book is a decent, but not top-tier supe romantic suspense.
I can understand why readers enjoy this series as there’s quite a bit of creativity. This is my fourth book, but I still don’t feel that fandom kicking in.
Again, disconnects in world building, characterization &/or plotting.
>The all-encompassing -immediate- love that Bones supposedly felt for Cat just isn’t believable to me. It didn’t fit the story as written, but I’ll admit to being more easily distracted as the story went on. Not sold.
>Totally ignoring the politics of “Brams” healing the team wasn’t believable. The corrupt lab assistant would have sold it to the highest bidder - it would have made him more $ than betraying Cat.
>Bones ignoring the ethics & politics of Don’s team holding vampires didn’t make sense, either. There would have been drainage and dissection going on.
>The politics of government, from power thru funding, would have assured the military would have become involved.
There are so many flaws in world building and storyline that I can’t get that involved in the series. I keep seeing various characters in Meet the Robinsons telling the Bowler Hat Guy that his plan wasn’t very well thought out;;-)
Gilbert does a very good job of narration. Her voice works for Cat, and she does a good job voicing the various characters.

Horrible “male” voice....

“Bones” is suppose to be a hot vampire, but the female narrator made him sound like a bratty teenager. Someone should have listened to it before releasing it. Had to push throw it to get to the end.

Another fantastic Addition to the Night Huntress World!

This is the third book in the Night Huntress series. Jeaniene takes us on another nail biting Adventure in the life of the Red Reaper A.k.a. Cat and Bones. I love The fact that it has the same narrator as all the other ones. Tavia Gilbert has A way of bringing all of the characters to life... she is so talented I promise you couldn’t ask for a better narrator for this series you won’t be disappointed!

No spoilers

I must say this is one of if not the best book I've read in a long long time. MS Frost dose a fantastic job giving you a book so suspenseful, thrilling, humorous, and romantic. I know it's an older series but dam it was still very good highly recommend. I love MS Frost style of writing and will without a doubt read/listen to more by her. As far as the narrator MS Gilbert is by far the best I've ever listen to. She brings a book to total life i truly mean that. Every voice and emotion is spectacular. This is a MUST listen to series.

wrong voice for bones lmao

I can't get rumplestiltskin from once upon a time out of my head for bones because of the voice she does for him. she talks about how gorgeous he is and how he's so hot and stuff and my brain goes ick Ick ick lol
