Review--Both Feet in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

 

If you thought you learned more about the dangerous and sexy alpha vampire, Bones, in the USA Today bestselling scorcher, THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE, you haven't seen anything yet...

Cat disappeared from Bones’ life to protect him, but this Master vampire will keep his promise to find her.

Two hundred years of bounty hunting made Bones the best at what he does, yet it's still taken him four long years to find Cat, the half vampire now known as the "Red Reaper." There's a price on Cat's head, and not even her job as a secret government agent can save her. Only Bones can. But has time hardened Bones too much to love again? Or will his passion for Cat burn through every obstacle—alive, undead, or otherwise—between them?

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Night Huntress series comes a fresh, new perspective on the origin saga of Cat and Bones, in Bones' own words…

Naturally, I had to dive straight into Both Feet in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost after reading the first book from Bones' point of view and the deleted scenes collection! My memory was definitely more spotty for this book but as I read through the storyline more and more came back to me and yet, still some things were a surprise, but it was yet another amazing read for sure!

It's been four years since Cat left Bones and he has been looking for her ever since. Bones' devotion to Cat is one thing I have fiercely loved about this series, yes, there was one slip which he admits to and all is eventually forgiven considering the circumstances. But regardless, Bones never once stopped loving her and that just makes me melt! Lol.

Bones has also been taking care of other hitmen who are out to get the famed Red Reaper. Honestly, if you make any kind of move at Cat and Bones is liking to tear off some limb! What I did forget in this one was how unlikable Ian was in the beginning. Yes, this is when we meet Ian, who was a character I grew to love, but omg he is absolutely deplorable in this one! Lol.

We only go a few chapters with Bones looking for Cat before he finally finds her at Randy and Denise's wedding, of course, he knew she'd be there and that's when everything we thought we knew starts! Once again we get to see what Bones was thinking and feeling when everything was going down. We learn that Cat is working for a secret organization within the government hunting down the supernatural bad guys and taking them out.

This truly is yet another story that is meant for the fans of the Night Huntress series! After reading the deleted scenes book, I found it ironic that Jeaniene said she had no intentions to ever write solely from Bones' point of view as she treated us to one scene, and then just a few years later we not only got Bones' point of view from book 1, but also book 2! So magic can happen folks! Lol.

It's funny having a fuzzy memory about books, because though I am reading this story (again from new eyes) for the first time in years, some things I vaguely remember so I wasn't taken by total surprise, but then other things I was like "THAT'S HOW THAT HAPPENED?!" It's weird what my brain can remember or vaguely remember and then the rest being like...whhhhaaaaat?! But needless to say I full-heartedly loved this book once more! I remember my aversion to certain side characters and funnily enough how I later grew to like them if only by tolerance. Lol. 

Both Feet in the Grave was purely delectable! I love a good vampire read and returning to this series through Bones' eyes has been the highlight I didn't know I needed! I feel like just getting two books is enough satisfaction, redoing the whole series from Bones' point of view seems slightly unnecessary, but of course, I would never say no to reading the entire thing again, should it ever happen! Lol. Besides, we got to relive THAT chapter again through Bones' eyes, so this was a solid win and a perfect ending should it be that!

Overall Rating 5/5 stars
