Bones is one of the best of all time I think! I'd add Vlad from this series in with him, but then Carina and Britnee would have my head.
Sooooooo are people reading this???? I makes me anxious to wonder if people are giving it a try or passing it up. READ IT PEOPLE, JUST READ IT!!!!

Sigh...I know. It's so good.
I'm SO not passing this up. :D it's been on my nook since Stacia rec'd it to me a while ago.. I've just been slammed the past few weeks. :(

Stacia *Ninja Naughty-Bead Thrower* wrote: "uh oh. So if you hate it, I'm getting blamed then..."No way! I very rarely hate on books. And, if I do, it's because the protagonist irritates me. Which I highly doubt will end up happening, since I've heard nothing but praise for this series.

Cat is awesome so I doubt you'll hate her!
Naw, It's got the Stacia and Brit seal of approval. I very rarely (if ever) hate anything that you guys like/recommend.
Carina *Tepesh* wrote: "@Meg If there is a book out there that you need to make time to read, this is it!!"Ditto!
So now that she read the first book and liked it, will she read more?That is the million dollar question.
You bitches are trippin'. Lol. Of course I'll read more! In faaaaaact, since my Clockwork Angel file is corrupted, I'll start readnig the second tonight just to prove y'all wrong. ;]
I knowwww! I'm considering just buying it. It isn't necessarily.. corrupted. It's just formatted awkwardly. There's a ton of question marks just randomly littered around and it's really distracting. I think I'd be able to just ignore it, but I can't. Oh well, about to start reading
right meow. =]
Yea, it was okay at first but then it started getting increasingly difficult to ignore. And it also seemed like there were missing parts. So, yea. Buying it. I can't think of anything more deserving of my money anyway. Lol.But, seriously. I think Cat was gonna fight working for the Gov't like.. tooth and nail. This is going to be interesting. =]
I just picked it up this weekend to start reading. Since I'm sick today, will just curl up by the fire, drink hot tea and READ!!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! R.I.P. Me. THIS BOOK WAS FRIGGIN AWESOME! I can't believe she left him and then didn't see him again for 4 YEARS!
Vlad is getting his own separate series books...http://jeanienefrost.com/2011/06/spec...
Back to writing (I warned you that this post would have random chatter in it). Vlad and Leila’s book still doesn’t have a title. I’m kicking around a few possibles with my editor, but we haven’t hit an “aha!” moment yet. We did, however, agree on a series title for V & L’s books, so I can share the news on that.
*drumroll*
Vlad and Leila’s books will be part of the new Night Prince series.
Okay, why “Night Prince”? For one, the word “Night” will – hopefully – let readers know at a glance that these stories are set in the same world as my Night Huntress series and Night Huntress World novels. Second, contrary to the most popular fictional rendering of Vlad the Impaler, he was not a Count. He was essentially a Prince of Wallachia during his reign (Wallachia now being part of modern-day Romania). So there you have the Prince part of the series title.
Tentative release date for the first book in the Night Prince series is spring 2012. It may be pushed back to summer if (a) I don’t write it fast enough, or (b) what I write needs a lot of revisions. So cross your fingers for me that I will write well, and quickly, lol. I haven’t seen the cover yet for the first book, but as Tom Egner has done such a fabulous job with all my other covers, I’m sure he’s cooking up something very cool.
Before anyone asks, no, this doesn’t mean Cat and Bones stories will be put on a long hold while I kickstart Vlad and Leila’s new series. First, still to come in 2011 for our mayhem-loving vampire couple is One Grave at a Time (August 30th) along with a special holiday novella that’s almost half the size of a regular book in The Bite Before Christmas anthology (October 25th). Vlad and Leila’s book will come, as stated, in early 2012, but then after that, we’ll be onto Cat and Bones #7 (still untitled, but expect the word “grave” in there somewhere).
And I just noticed that you could play a drinking game with all the parenthesis in this post. Clearly I need more coffee before I start back on writing (drink! ).

goodreads summary-"Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father -- the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership. In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner -- are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.
