Denise, Cat鈥檚 best friend has been grieving and keeping to herself since the death of her husband at last year鈥檚 New Year party. He was killed by some kind of freak zombies and Denise refused to have anything to do with the Paranormal world anymore, she doesn鈥檛 even respond to Cat鈥檚 calls. The Paranormal has other plans for her though. Her relatives started to die one after the other, her aunt then her cousin and finally another cousin in front of her very eyes. But this is all a mess, something is wrong and the police won鈥檛 hear her. She needs Cat鈥檚 help to solve that one, yet she鈥檚 no where to be found. In a desperate attempt, she finally decides to call Spade. He must know how to reach her right?

Awww how much I love Jeaniene鈥檚 books. Full length novel or short story, I always feel right at home when reading her books. Her world, her characters, and the sincerity with which it鈥檚 delivered makes for an amazing read.

Denise (human) and Spade/Charles (Vampire) are the main characters of this Night Huntress spin off book and I loved to discover more about them! Denise ended up being a strong woman fighting hard against her grief and PTSD to protect her family and do the right thing. Her path won鈥檛 be an easy one but she will prove her worth with every decision she takes. We already knew a bit more of Spade because we saw him more often in the Cat & Bones books, but he was a delightful surprise anyway. He is such a gentleman and I loved to discover more about his past. He lived a very tragic story and it was nice to see how it still affects him today. He is a very multilayered character and I loved every aspect of him.

Here鈥檚 a quote I found particularly yummy:

" 鈥淚 wanted you to watch, so I stomped around the room to wake you before I got into the shower. Didn鈥檛 you wonder why the light was on? It wasn鈥檛 for me, I can see in the dark. And then I kept the water cold so the glass wouldn鈥檛 fog.鈥�

鈥淲ith your body, that should count as entrapment,鈥� Denise muttered feeling her face heat."

Everything about this book was amazing, the psychology, the action, the sexual tension, the mystery, all you need for a fabulous book! I especially appreciated how we were always a step 鈥搊r four- behind Spade鈥檚 plans. He is once smart dude and it proved very helpful and entertaining. The rhythm was face paced, it only took me a few hours to rush through it and I was sad when it ended. The end was rather surprising and I keep thinking about it.

--------------Spoilers Zone---------------

For those of you who read the book please let me know what you think. I would鈥檝e thought killing the demon would bring Denise back to human because technically her branding is a part of the demon鈥檚 essence. So it would make sense for the essence to disappear when the demon died, no? And since she is still a shapeshifter. It means her blood will always be addictive. Spade will never be able to drink from her, and Web鈥檚 employees who got away knows she鈥檚 a Red Dragon source. Won鈥檛 they keep coming after her?

------------END of Spoilers Zone----------

In conclusion, if you haven鈥檛 read Jeaniene Frost鈥檚 books, do yourself a favor and go buy them ASAP. They are one of my favorite series out there, and every single book is a special treat. You could start with First Drop of Crimson, but I would strongly suggest reading them all in release date order, starting with Halfway to the Grave. The Night Huntress world is mysterious, mesmerizing, sensual, action-packed and let鈥檚 be honest, Freak-ing-awesome.
