I like Cat and Bones as a couple, I like that they are committed and have hot sex, but I felt that in this installment the plot is dominated by Cat and Bones simpering declarations of love and happiness, somehow the action became the filler to the relationship. The other missing element is frustratingly elusive to describe.
Part of it is that when it’s Bones or Cat under threat you know they are going to come out of it okay, so the tension just isn’t sustainable in the same way, particularly now that Cat is far less vulnerable.
There was so much to like about the storylines, the ghoul uprising provided action, Queen Marie’s manipulations were intriguing and the swarming ghostlings both amusing and creepy but I felt they lacked something I wish I could articulate. I admit I prefer it when the book veers more to the UF rather than PNR genre and I felt that the plot wasn’t exploited for the action and drama it could have offered. I eagerly awaited my preorder of This Side of The Grave, shuffled my schedule so I could read it when it arrived only to find it fell a little flat for me, but its difficult to pinpoint why.
It took me a while to warm up to this series but books three and four cemented a relationship with it. Status: Read from March 08 to 09, 2011 - I own a copy to say nothing of the repercussions Cat never imagined. But the price of her assistance may prove more treacherous than even the threat of a supernatural war. Now Cat and Bones are forced to seek help from a dangerous “ally”-the ghoul queen of New Orleans herself. A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage. With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing. But just when they’ve triumphed over the latest battle, Cat’s new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance. Half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her vampire husband Bones have fought for their lives, as well as for their relationship. Sypnosis: Danger waits on both sides of the grave.
