But just when they've triumphed over the latest battle, Cat's new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance . . .With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing. A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage. Now Cat and Bones are forced to seek help from a dangerous "ally"—the ghoul queen of New Orleans herself. But the price of her assistance may prove more treacherous than even the threat of a supernatural war . . . to say nothing of the repercussions Cat never imagined.

REVIEWS :Pardon me while I have a little rant. If you’re going to do a spin-off series, then it should be able to be read independently of the original series. Otherwise, it’s not really a spin-off series now, is it? It’s just all part of the one same series. You should NOT be able to spoil either series by not reading the spin-off series in between books of the original series, and vice versa.Although Frost’s Night Huntress World series is supposed to be a spin-off, it really isn’t. It doesn’t just 5 World's Freakiest Bloodsucker Stars*Spoilers*First read 2/27/2014 reread 11/26/2015 Re reread 11/24/2019"Kitten, you've been a vampire for less than a year. During that time, you've blown the head off a Master vampire through pyrokinesis and frozen dozens of vampires into a stupor through telekinesis. Your abilities, plus your occasional heartbeat, are bound to frighten some people."-Bones "You know, in addition to your mind-reading abilities, I may have absorbed some sluttiness from your Do.Not.Shoot.I can expl…I’m not saying that Cat isn’t the epitome of awesomeness.I’m not saying that Bones isn’t one of the sexiest things out there.I’m not saying that the side characters aren’t intriguing and fun to hang around with.But look at the plot people:Bad guy is after Cat for some ridiculous reason. Cat goes after the bad guy.Tones of random stuff happening.Cat fights the bad guy. Cat kills the bad guy. The end.Sounds familiar, right? You’ve read something like that before and still "Be still my non-beating heart" Let's see...Cat and Bones are in loveCat and Bones have earth shattering sex (chapter 21 everybody!)Cat and Bones fight against a deadly enemy (Bad bad ghouls!)So, not many things happen in this book that move forward the main story. Just Cat feels more comfortable being a full vampire (flying is really awesome).Mencheres and Kira (Eternal Kiss of Darkness) as well as Denise and Spade (First Drop of Crimson) make an appearance.And Timmie, Cat's neighbour seven Have you ever done that thing where you say something and realize it came out very very wrong, and then tried to talk your way out of it, only to continue making it worse? I have... and I'll fill you in later... it counts as the most embarrassing moment of my life. So, I felt much better when Cat has this same problem twice in this book. I'm hungry enough that both of you are starting to looking really, really good."Vlad's lips curled. "Is this the part where I'm supposed to remind you that this Guys, I'm meeting Jeaniene Frost in Orlando at the end of July!!! afaadjfhsohfosndfjzhgljg OMG!! yeahhh... that rocks!! I totally thougt that the 4th book was the last... and now she brings out a 5th book!!!?? Jeanine Frost?! I love u!haha... my fav *kick-ass heroine* vampire book series!! <3 PS.: I think I'll go crazy until it comes out! ...can't wait ^^ *Umm what is going on with me?* Re-read: 08.11.2018 The fifth book in the series starts several months after book four (seven years from book one). It still centers around now turned vampire Catherine ‘Cat’ ‘Cathy’ ‘Kitten’ ‘Commander’ ‘The Red Reaper’ Kathleen Crawfield (27? 28?) and her vampire husband Crispin Phillip Arthur Russell III (Crispin was his human name) ‘Bones’ (247? 249?). Cat's been a vampire for less than a year, but that doesn't stop her from being special still; her heart Cat and Bones have had a very rough time of it lately and while they have come out on top in the last few battles, there still were loved ones lost and irreparable consequences. In this latest installment, Cat is still coming to terms with her new, mostly pulse-less status. She was unique as a half vampire, so it makes sense she wouldn't be a normal full one either. However, this spells trouble as a nasty Ghoul is using the threat of the "Red Reaper" to incite a war between the Vampires and “Ask me if I sparkle and I’ll kill you where you stand.”My favorite of the series - 'The Side of the Grave' holds the best qualities of the Night Huntress books while mainly leaving the small annoyances behind.Cat has grown on me more since she's shed some of the annoying, in the face, immature attitude. Bones is still yummy and protective. Their relationship is in no way in the new stages anymore but they still keep it fresh. They work together as a tough team that - while some natural It was quite good. Vlad rocks. :DAnd I would appreciate more of Ian. He was there like for five minutes and the author almost just mentioned him! Like all interesting characters are being pushed out of the pages to promote other characters that are just simply annoying. I give credit to the Night Huntress series and my GR friends who told me about the greatness of this series from the Bones Train in getting me back into the PNR genre again. Revisiting Cat and Bones is always a fun experience, this time around though I wasn’t engaged like I was in the earlier novels. Not that I didn’t enjoy this installment of the Night Huntress series, but found it more of a short story/filler in the overall of the series. Much of what happen in this novel was like a repeat on So... umm... what just happened? Ok, I liked Vlad and... that's just about it. Maybe Cat and Bones should retire or something because I don't feel them anymore. I like the mature Cat, and yet she's boring at the same time.And Mencheres... I still have a problem with him having sex. I see him as this pharaoh mysterious figure. Him being a lovestruck horny guy, it doesn't work for me.As for Apollyon, he's so unimportant, I don't know why he's in the book in the first place. Just so Cat has an.
