Book Review of One Grave at a Time (Night Huntress, Bk 6)

One Grave at a Time (Night Huntress, Bk 6)

Helpful Score: 1


In this sixth book of the Night Huntress series, Cat and Bones fight an evil ghost as a favor to their ghost friend, Fabian. There's a really funny secondary male character, a ghost medium who has the hots for Bones. If it weren't for the ghost medium, this book wouldn't have much humor. This book was lacking something. I didn't want to read this in one sitting like I normally do when it comes to a Cat and Bones book.

In this book, Cat and Bones have a solid, healthy relationship. They don't have the insecurities and angst they once did about each other. There's no Vlad or Annette to create any tension. However, I wish Frost had written more romantic scenes. This book is very heavy on the action and pretty light on the private time between Mr. and Mrs. Crispin Russell. It's chapter after chapter of the ghost story. The ghost attacks, Cat and Bones react. Rinse, lather, repeat. I can't believe I'm saying this, but this is the first Night Huntress book where I've skimmed certain chapters. The book goes a long time without any kind of smexy scene between Bones and Cat. That's just so wrong. We all know how good Bones is..as a vampire. That's what I meant. And the sexy scene that is in the book is ok. It's nothing like the infamous chapter 32 in the second book. In short, I felt this story was more like urban fantasy rather than paranormal romance.
