Keenan is the mistake Khloe knows she shouldn't make. As an incubus, he's got an inside track into everything that makes her tick, and even though she's immune to his supernatural (and frankly unfair) sex appeal, that doesn't stop her body - and her demon - craving him. If it were any other male she'd have worked it out of her system ages ago and moved on, but this time she's scared that if she ever gives in, she won't escape unscathed.

Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

Summary
Since half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her undead lover Bones met six years ago, they’ve fought against the rogue undead, battled a vengeful Master vampire, and pledged their devotion with a blood bond. Now it’s time for a vacation. But their hopes for a perfect Paris holiday are dashed when Cat awakes one night in terror. She’s having visions of a vampire named Gregor, who’s more powerful than Bones and has ties to her past that even Cat herself didn’t know about.
Gregor believes Cat is his and won’t stop until he has her. As the battle begins between the vamp who haunts her nightmares and the one who holds her heart, only Cat can break Gregor’s hold over her. She’ll need all the power she can summon in order to bring down the baddest bloodsucker she’s ever faced … even if getting that power will result in an early grave.

If You Can't Stand Bones' mockney accent...
Wait till you hear Tavia Gilbert's attempt at a French accent! It trends close to Sacha Baron Cohen's Borat - the phrase "my wife" is ruined for me now. If you can find this amusing rather than annoying (as I did) then this is another entertaining instalment in the Night Huntress Series. Jeaniene Frost is good at coming up with creative twists and new, high stakes obstacles for Bones and Cat to overcome. If you like the rest of the series, you won't be disappointed.

surprising twist!
I genuinely didn't guess where the author takes this next installment in bones and cats story. it has definitely kept my interest and I'm looking forward to whatever she'll come up with next for them!
I really love the relationship dynamics in these books, they are frustratingly accurate and had me really frustrated with Cat or Bones or both throughout the book! ok so maybe we don't keep death match traps from our partners lol but the emotional principals of keeping a secret to 'protect' the other and the unintended impact that can have remain the same. frustratingly good because it had me desperately listening and hoping they'd be able to sort things out while also wanting to know what would happen with this installments fantasy story thread - how did Cat make that jump? who would win from the love rivals, what's going on with Don, not what I think I hope?! Yep J Frost has me hooked...

This is the best book yet!!!!
This book has been the best of the series in my opinion! It has what the last book was missing, passion, and action from the first page! I absolutely love this series and can hardly wait until the next book is released. Cat and Bones are my favorite lovers/haters/romanitcs/killers I've met so far! I also LOVE the fact that they have used the same narrator on ALL the books. She is good, does good voices and I don't have to adjust to a new reader after every book.

Great series...
This series is a great mix of action and sensual romance. I am not one to bear those mooning romance type novels. Although I found there was a bit of a continuity problem with this book. Bones level of strength is supposed to be unheralded because of the merging with his Grand Sires line, but Cat seems to doubt his strength at every turn. If you’re not a stickler for such minute detail, it is a very enjoyable book.
One bit of advice, although I was excited to see book 5 and rushed to purchase it immediately, I found that there are lots of spoilers for the Night Huntress world books 1 and 2. So I had to stop listening and go back and order those two to catch up.

Nearly put me in one!
I found this to be the highest octane ride off all the NH novels including the NHW ones too. The friction between Cat and Bones and the pace of the action had me riveted on the edge of my seat for a large portion of the plot. I enjoy this series immenseley and the peripheral characters have grown to such a degree that this book only enhances our knolwedge and affection of them. There are some fabulous one liners that had me bursting in to laughter. There are as many locations as a Bond film, tonnes of action, romance, and plot twists and turns. The rules are changing and the scope for Cat seems limitless as does Bones' love..
From the audio aspect I would have to lower the rating a little, as mentioned before in earlier NH book reviews, this narrator does not do Bones well. It is the actual accent and mispronounciation of some words that grate often. Over time it has improved a little or I may have gotten used to it. Cat, however, comes to life and I anchor well to her through this narrator. The other characters are fine.

YEAH Jeaniene and Tavia!!
I just LOVE this series!! It is, for me, one that I can (and have) listened to several times!! When I don't know what I want to read, I have a few authors I fall back on, and Jeaniene Frost is one of them. I think the relationship between Cat and Bones is REAL! It is sad and funny and snarky and sexy! Cat is a very head strong warrior type woman and has a hard time listening to and taking the advise from Bones and she always seems to get herself into trouble when she doesn't listen. I'm not saying Bones is right all of the time but.........Cat should trust him more. I have already read the whole series, and I must say.....WHAT A RIDE!! and keep them coming.

Cat and Bones are meant for each other!!!
What did you like about this audiobook?
This is #4 in the Night Huntress series it was really good, but not my fave of the 4 I have read...I liked mostly everything about it, but don't want to say to much because I don't like to give away spoilers.....Read it....If your a Cat and Bones fan, you will love it!!!
How has the book increased your interest in the subject matter?
I have devoured this series....I don't think my interest will ever fade....this is my fave PNR series so far!
Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful, and if so, how does he achieve this?
Yes SHE does.....she has a true gift, and I am eager to read her other series! She is descriptive, humorous, and truly dedicated in her craft!
What did you find wrong about the narrator's performance?
NOTHING!!!! Tavia does it again!!!!!!
Do you have any additional comments?
Just because this was not my fave of this series, does not mean I did not enjoy it thoroughly.....I did....and am starting #5 right now!!!!

Always fun, exciting and sexy as hell
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
Yes, I would definitely recommend this story. It is very funny, intelligently written and suspenseful. I walk dogs for a living and the time goes very quickly while I listen to Jeanien Frost.
What other book might you compare Destined for an Early Grave to and why?
I would compare this with any of Kresley Cole's books, because her books are also very funny, intelligently written and suspenseful.
Have you listened to any of Tavia Gilbert’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No I haven't, but I would compare her to Johanna Parker that narrates Sookie Stakehouse series.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
No, but that ok.
