 WOW! Wonderful romance with bone breaking action June 20, 2008
WOW!! This book is amazing it's everything I wanted in a vampire romance. I skipped book one but I am now on my way to buy it and I can't wait until book 3 comes out. Cat and Bones are wonderful together the perfect combination for a wonderful series.
Really good book!!! June 20, 2008
I have read alot of junk lately, but this is a really good series, I thought this story was even better than the first one. I am really looking forward to Frost's next book!!

I guess that I wasn't playing close attention when I bought this. I love vampire stories WITHOUT this much trashy romance. The characters and the plot are predictable and stereotypical. The dialogue is adolescent. There are a few funny moments, but not enough to keep me interested. I love Patricia Briggs's books. This author is just not for me.
Great Great Great! June 19, 2008
I cant wait for the next book to come in January. See, lucky for me though I just finishing reading the 1st book yesterday! So I had to run out and buy the 2nd immediately. I pity all those who had to wait to see what happened between Cat and Bones. I got to find out immediately.
This was a great follow up book for the first. Its sexy, fun, and hella-interesting! I love the how they dig into vampire culture.. at least in the vampire culture of Ms. Frosts world. Every series has a different set of vampire rules, and I liked how they got into the politics a bit.
I am anxiously awaiting the third installment. All I have to say though is I know that there has to be some conflict between Bones and Cat to keep the story interesting, but they are the main characters - when all is said and done, the need to end up together!
 Sadly predictable second in series. June 18, 2008

The first book in this series was great in that the author created some new twists on the vampire & paranormal mythos and it kept the reader engaged in a solid mystery while also setting up for an enticing romance. I had been looking forward to book 2 in this series, as book 1 ended on a bit of a cliffhanger regarding the romance. Sad to say, book 2 did not achieve the same level as book 1. In fact, the 2nd of this series was predictable and struck this reader as being very formulaic. The mystery of the book fell flat; having little meat to it and too much emphasis placed on familial and work related politics. PLEASE note SPOILERS below!!!
The relationship Cat gets into with a normal human, her single female friend, and the brief glimpses the reader gets of her co-workers all point to a lonely woman devoted to her job. The human man she gets involved with comes across as so innocent, good-natured, & easygoing that it is very hard to believe Cat would ever date this man. There are a few scenes where he appears to be trying to show some backbone, but instead just seems whiny. When the longed for moment of truth finally occurs and Bones comes on screen again, the chemistry between he & Cat seems to have vanished. Bones displays a new repertoire of powers that he hints were hidden before. He can now fly, jump or run faster than a speeding assassin's bullet, and has tremendous ability for mind control, etc. He is sadly not the Bones from book 1 -- down to earth, straightforward, and outspoken about everything. In fact, the problem which led Cat to leave him in Book 1 -- that of her mother's hatred for him; is now resolved in a few pages. The mystery described on the back cover seems to be a different mystery than the one in the actual book; it seemed very unclear why exactly an assassin had been hired to kill Cat at this time and who had hired the assassin. I apologize for not wording this better, but twice now my reviews have been lost from signal interruptions.
For those who are considering this book I would say this: if you enjoy Harlequin romances, then this book will probably satisfy you. If you are more interested in a true urban fantasy and have little interest in the romantic entanglements of the characters, then this book may not be what you are looking for.
