Jeaniene Frost Vampire Huntress Series & Spin Offs

I have spent the last several weeks consuming every book published in the Vampire Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost as well as the novellas and spin offs from that series.  I followed the reading order posted on her website (http://jeanienefrost.com/reading-order/).  These novels include from the Night Huntress series: Halfway to the Grave, One Foot in the Grave, At Grave's End, Destined for an Early Grave, This Side of the Grave, and One Grave at a TimeThe ebook novellas include: Devil to Pay, Magic Graves, and Home for the Holidays.  She has completed two stand alone books that take place in the Night Huntress world: First Drop of Crimson and Eternal Kiss of DarknessShe has also started another series with one of the supporting characters from the original series.  This spin off series is called the Night Prince series and so far one book has been released: Once BurnedThe second book in this series, Twice Tempted, is due out at the end of March 2013.

The Vampire Huntress series is about a half vampire, half human named Cat who has made it her life's goal to kill as many vampires as she can because she believes them all to be evil monsters.  But when she meets Bones, a vampire with a moral code, she realizes that no all vampires are out to kill humans.  The two of them team up to take out the most wicked of the undead; the ones who don't follow the rules.  Along the way, she meets a host of other undead creatures the likes of which she never knew existed and learns that there is a secret government agency that is charged with the task of monitoring the activity of such creatures and acting to take out those that become threats.

This series is fun, dark, twisted, violent, gory and sexy.  I have loved the supporting cast of vampires and ghouls, ghosts and shape shifters.  I have been entertained for hours with this crew of creatures.  Each book is around 300 pages and very fast reading; the novellas are more like 100 pages.  I highly recommend it to anyone who likes reading supernatural stories, but make sure you follow the reading order on Ms. Frost's website, as the stories and character development do progress through them.  As stated above her next novel comes out late this month and I cannot wait to begin reading it!

Happy Reading!
