Eventually it had to happen. Cat Crawfield’s appearance as half-vampire, half-human is too distinctive to keep the identity of the “Red Reaper” a mystery. Meanwhile, someone very powerful wants her dead and an all-out vampire war is about to begin. Will Cat and Bones survive the melee that ensues? Wow, Jeaniene Frost is a formidable force in the urban fantasy genre and AT GRAVE’S END solidifies she is here to stay! Both the world building and the character development are superb in this action-packed tale. Hold onto your hats, though, as this one gets a little hairy! Cat and Bones are a remarkable couple. The love story between them has developed over the previous two books but AT GRAVE’S END takes things a bit deeper. The physical attraction isn’t the focus but instead we see the emotional bond. In fact, all of the relationships develop further as Jeaniene Frost takes this world to a whole new level in AT GRAVE’S END. AT GRAVE’S END can be read as a stand alone novel but the world is a complex one and could be a bit overwhelming to a newcomer. The relationships have also built over the course of the series and some of the nuances and subtle humor might be missed if one hasn’t read the earlier books. Jeaniene Frost isn’t afraid to take chances as she does a marvelous job at keeping her world interesting. The plotlines of the Night Huntress series are not static but instead we learn more about the dangers of the vampire world in each new book. AT GRAVE’S END is an exciting installment and my only disappointment is that I now have to wait for the next one. Highly recommended! Reviewed by Debbie |
