destined for an early grave by jeaniene frost

I gave her an arched brow and tapped my engagement ring for effect. 'Mmm hmmm.' The low exhalation came from a brunette farther up in line. Can Bones and Cat's relationship make it past a forgotten husband, or will Gregor tear their love apart? Gregor is doing everything in his power to get Cat back. He tells her that they are blood bonded and that her memories of him have been blocked, but she can get them back by drinking his blood. While on vacation Cat starts having dreams of a vampire named Gregor, in which he tells her that he is her husband, not Bones. Destined For An Early Grave, the 4th book in the Night Huntress Series, was a nail biting, angsty read! The drama is so high in this book my stomach tied in knots the whole time. 'I'll congratulate him on his cleverness - while I'm ripping silver through his heart.'-Bones 'Bloody sneaking bastard,' Bones ground out, even as my jaw dropped. I still don't know what the true nature of cat and bones' relationship is according to vampire law.'Let's see how long someone lasts if they suggest that my wife is not my wife.'-Bones And they fight the rest of the time when they are together. And the editor did a poor job, as many meaningless scenes lagged on, frustrating me because cat and bones relationship between cat and bones is in serious jeopardy most of the novel. I found myself too upset to pay attention to the plot. Maybe readers will say that's how marriage is, but there were several ways to create tension with the characters (I can think of three great ways off top of my head) without resorting to the extremes in this book. There is far less romance and affection between cat and bones. So there's not a lot I can say to explain my rating. There was less romance in the last book, but it was an enthralling, moving plot. Cat, however, comes to life and I anchor well to her through this narrator. Over time it has improved a little or I may have gotten used to it. It is the actual accent and mispronounciation of some words that grate often.

From the audio aspect I would have to lower the rating a little, as mentioned before in earlier NH book reviews, this narrator does not do Bones well. The rules are changing and the scope for Cat seems limitless as does Bones' love. There are as many locations as a Bond film, tonnes of action, romance, and plot twists and turns. There are some fabulous one liners that had me bursting in to laughter. I enjoy this series immenseley and the peripheral characters have grown to such a degree that this book only enhances our knolwedge and affection of them. The friction between Cat and Bones and the pace of the action had me riveted on the edge of my seat for a large portion of the plot. I found this to be the highest octane ride off all the NH novels including the NHW ones too.
