Cat has left her job with homeland security and Don’s group and the two of them have decided on some little R & R. Can anything be that simple? Cat starts dreaming of another vampire, Gregor, who may be from Cat’s past. Of course this past has been removed from her memories by Mencheres before Bones, and her real relationship with this vampire becomes an issue. Gregor wants Cat back in his life and is willing to challenge Bones for his rights to her as a vampire. It seems that nothing goes right for a couple as we watch them battle more with each other, then with Gregor. Cat cannot seem to help herself and second-guesses every action Bones makes. Her inability to trust in him and lack of faith in his abilities grows throughout the novel and finally reaches a pinnacle when she leaves Bones for Gregor.

This installment in the series was as difficult was as it was refreshing. With each new book in the Cat and Bones saga, we see not only a different adventure, but also a perspective on the characters as they develop. Cat to this point is not a flawless character, and she lacks the experience and maturity that decade of living brings to those around her. We all forget how young Cat is in age and what exactly that means in compared to her past and present. The girl’s trust issues are not just going to dissolve in a book or two, no matter how much we want to floor her. This book demonstrates that as patient as Bones has been, he is also a vampire, and he needs to be seen as one. The character portrayal for our couple shows us what can really break or make them. The supporting roles of the couple’s friends, Vlad and Spade, in particular, also showed this idea of trust that becomes the focus of our 4th installment. Like all the books before it, there was no turning back once I cracked its cover until the last word was read. I enjoyed every word knowing that at the end happiness and love was possible no matter how difficult a road traveled. 4 stars

~”What is it?” Bones asked.

“Pardon me, but there’s someone on the phone who says they have a call for you.”

My brows went up. So did Bones’s. “There’s a call to tell me I have a call?” he asked with heavy skepticism.

The vampire looked uneasy as he held out a cell phone. “It’s my friend Lachlan. He called me to say he’d been contacted by Chill, a vampire he knows, who was called by Nathan, who’s a memeber of Kyoko’s line, who says a vam ...more

Another great book! Just as good as the first 2! Cat and Bones are one of my top favorite couples. Outside of Bella and Edward...I don't think anyone else can compete. I will be going through Cat and Bones withdrawals until the next book due out in feb '11. ...more
