At Grave End Jeaniene Frost 8601400230992 Books Reviews

I had a great time with this book during this re-read! I fell in love with this series quite a few years ago and decided to get the audiobooks since I knew that I would want to revisit this world. This is the third book in the Night Huntress series, which really does need to be read in order. There were parts of the book that I did remember but I had lost quite a few details over the years. I am very slowly working my way through the series for the second time and found it to be just as enjoyable as it was the first time around if not more.

I love Cat and Bones. More accurately, I like Cat but I LOVE Bones. There are actually a lot of great characters in this series but Bones is my favorite by far. Bones can do just about anything and doesn't make apologies. His love for Cat is sincere and unquestionable. I do like the two of them together. I must admit that there were a few times in this book that Cat got on my nerves just a bit. I like Cat and I understand that she has some great ideas but it just seemed odd that all of these really old vampires were taking her lead. I wanted to be quiet for a minute and maybe learn something from the very capable people she had around her. I also thought that Cat took some unnecessary risks and put herself in some uncomfortable positions which illustrated the fact she still has a lot to learn. I did think that Cat really showed her strength when everything went horribly wrong and she was forced to take a leadership position.

The secondary characters played really important roles in this book. I believe that this is Vlad's introduction in the series and I was quickly reminded why I love his character. The background that we learn about his character in this book was very touching. Mencheres was in the spotlight for a lot of this book and I have always enjoyed his character. I liked the developments in vampire politics that revolved around him and found his backstory to be rather eye-opening.

This was an exciting story. There were a few scenes that stayed with me over the years which really says a lot about the book. There were some rather emotional moments in the story which I thought were handled very well. I liked that there was such a wide range of emotions in a single story and it all worked so well.

Tavia Gilbert did a fantastic job with the narration of this book. This story has a pretty large cast of characters and she handles all of their different voices very well. I am actually rather amazed by the wide range of accents and voices that she does use in this audiobook. I thought that she expressed all of the emotion and excitement of this story expertly. I would say that her narration added to my overall enjoyment of the story.

I would recommend this series to others. This is an exciting installment in a series filled with wonderful characters and intense situations. I can't wait to continue with my re-read of the series!
The Cat and Bones series (also known as the Nighthuntress series) is basically a thoroughly R-rated Buffy with the beautiful redheaded vampire slayer hooked up with her 200-year-old British vampire lover. The series has great action, great humor, some pretty decent sex scenes (which I normally just skip through), and a fun premise. The books are probably not for everyone as they're designed to be pure entertainment but I enjoyed them a great deal.

At Grave's End picks up almost immediately after the previous volume with Cat having comfortably slid into her role as a government vampire slayer. She's brought Bones along, which is an alliance working better than it probably should. They're targetting the worst of the undead like those who pick up children at Chucky Cheese and who prey on senator's daughters.

A chance encounter with Cat's father, though, results in them getting involved in a whirlwind plot between two of the oldest vampires in the world. On one hand is Mencheres, an ancient Egyptian prophet who wants to make Bones co-ruler of his lineage, while on the other is Patra the daughter of Cleopatra who is insane with her desire to destroy our heroes because of a prophecy from before they were born.

I really liked this book because it got into the nitty gritty of vampire politics. We have an idea of who the strongest vampires in the world are, how alliances between bloodlines work, and what is the basis for conflict between them. Mencheres is an interesting character and reminds me of Highlander The Series' Methos. He's not really a good guy or a bad guy but he's on our heroes' side and that's a better place than against it.

Patra is also the strongest villain in the series so far. While her name is somewhat groan-worthy, I think she manages to convey both menace as well as a strong sense of power. She makes numerous decisions which are smart, intelligent, and threatening. Really, right up until the end, she appears like she's going to destroy not on our heroes but every single vampire who sided with them.

The book also introduces Dracula, a character who has been done hundreds of times before but never like Jeanine Frost handles him. Taking the perspective he's the historical character of Vlad the Impaler, she treats him as a mid-level master vampire who is neither exceptionally cruel nor especially good but fits in with the rest of the undead. The historical details aren't always one-hundred percent accurate but are close enough that fans (for lack of a better term) of the actual person aren't confused that this is meant to be the true Vlad III.

One element which is rather annoying in the book is the puppy-dog-devotion-bordering-on-stalking which occurs with the character of Tate. A government agent hopelessly in love with Cat, he ignores every possible sign and statement from her she isn't interested. Really, I'm surprised she didn't file a sexual harassment lawsuit complaint against him.

In conclusion, At Grave's End is a fun, engaging, and entertaining read from beginning to end. If you're looking for simple enjoyable urban fantasy adventures, then this is definitely the series for you. Some may be put off by the explicitness of the sex scenes but they're not so numerous as to disrupt this is primarily an adventure book.
