Blurb About The Book
If you thought you learned more about the dangerous and sexy alpha vampire, Bones, in the USA Today bestselling scorcher, THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE, you haven't seen anything yet... Cat disappeared from Bones’ life to protect him, but this Master vampire will keep his promise to find her. Two hundred years of bounty hunting made Bones the best at what he does, yet it's still taken him four long years to find Cat, the half vampire now known as the "Red Reaper." There's a price on Cat's head, and not even her job as a secret government agent can save her. Only Bones can. But has time hardened Bones too much to love again? Or will his passion for Cat burn through every obstacle—alive, undead, or otherwise—between them? The Details Standalone or series? This is a little different. It is "Technically" listed as Book 10 in the series. It is in fact Book 2 - but updated and told from Bones' (the other main character) perspective. How did I get this book? I was invited to review an ARC Why did I choose to read this book: I LOVED the Night Huntress series. I have read them all numerous times (including the spin offs - although for me they will never beat the original set) Genre Urban Fantasy And Now To The Review! First Impressions: I know the original version (told from Cat's point of view) like the back of my hand. Having read book 1 from Bones' POV I was excited to read this one. As with the first book Jeaniene notes she made the decision to update certain parts to make it more relevant to today's readers. (The original was released over 10 years ago and we all know how technology has changed). General Review This story is fabulous. I mean really how could it not be, if you loved the original you are getting that and a little more. That being said I don't feel there was as much original content in this one versus the amount in the first book but that could be because Bones had less away time in this one. The majority of their story was them together - so maybe not as many opportunities? If you love the original series then you will want to read this too. Final Thoughts If you haven't read the Night Huntress series, I supposed technically you could start with "The Other Half Of The Grave) which is the first book from this point of view and then go back and read the others. Personally I would suggest reading at least the first 2 Night Huntress series books first, although you will probably want to continue reading until you get through them - which isn't a bad thing. Rating: 5 stars from me - It's the same story as book 2 so how could it not be! As always let me know what you think in the comments! Pineapple Code word for this article is Coat |
