Destined for an Early Grave (Night Huntress, #4)

by Jeaniene Frost

After their recent war with rogue vampires, Cat thinks a little rest and relaxation are in their future. But she's plagued by dreams of a Master vampire who claims to be from her past. As the dreams intensify and the shadowy figure in them proves to be more than a figment of her subconscious, she realizes there are parts of her past that have been hidden. To unlock these memories and deal with a growing danger to herself and Bones, Cat may have to venture all the way into the grave. But finding out the truth could rock what she knows about herself - and her relationship with Bones.

Well my 4 star rating from last time stands! I wish I had written a review so I could compare my thoughts - but one things holds true... I remembered ALMOST NOTHING about this book. And some BIG things happened. I have no idea why these books, which are so good are also so forgettable for some reason! It's unusual for me to like books so much and forget so much.

The one thing I did remember - irritation with Bones. OMG these two struggled to communicate in this book! And felt particularly annoyed with Bones because (1) I felt like he disregarded everything he knew about Cat and expected her to be other than who he knew she was; and (2) he really didn't use his years of experience to create any wisdom for handling a very difficult situation. That said, I think it's realistic for a relationship to have challenges and it makes them more believable to have some internal conflict.

Other than that - it was all surprises for me! So much happened that it's hard to believe I forgot - so much that I can't tell you because it would be a spoiler - but lots of things that evoke strong emotions. I can say I felt sadness, anger, frustration, love, and so much more. There's a lot of action in this book, it's very gripping and I found myself not wanting to put it down. One of my favorite tidbits was Vlad - what a fantastic character! I love the friendship that he and Cat have developed and I'm so excited to eventually read his books.

I'm curious to see where things will go next because (1) I don't remember and (2) I've never read the spin off books. Looking forward to continuing later this month!
