Featuring characters from New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress world. (Originally appeared in Four Dukes and a Devil anthology)
Jeaniene Frost is the New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling author of the Night Huntress series and the Night Huntress World novels. To date, foreign rights for her novels have sold to nineteen different countries. Jeaniene lives in North Carolina with her husband Matthew, who long ago accepted that she rarely cooks and always sleeps in on the weekends. Aside from writing, Jeaniene enjoys reading, poetry, watching movies with her husband, exploring old cemeteries, spelunking and traveling—by car. Airplanes, children, and cookbooks frighten her.
I delayed reading Four Dukes and a Devil because the only short story I was interested in was Cat and Bones. I'm so glad this novella has been separated from the other stories in that anthology. Cat and Bones are not the focus of this novella, however brief the encounter, it was fantastic to get a touch of them, and it was also a fantastic treat to have Mencheres as well.
It is not necessary to be familiar with the Night Huntress series in order to follow along with this novella. I would consider this novella a stand-alone and I would love to read more about Elise and Blake in the near future. Their story was so compelling and intense, I wished this novella would never end.
The short story flowed smoothly and was well written. It felt complete and made me long to read the next Night Huntress book six, One Grave AT A Time due out 8/30/11 and also the new Night Prince series with Vlad and Leila, Once burned due out 3/27/2012.
I highly recommend this novella, Night Huntress Series and also the Night Huntress World books to fellow dark urban fantasy readers.

Nice little story, well written as usual. Happy to get these from my favorite authors without having to buy the whole anthologies full of other authors that I do not care to read. J. Frost is an amazing talent- wish there were more of her!

Short and sweet.
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Of the Night Huntress short stories I have read so far, this is my favorite. It was a complete short story of its own with characters we knew, as well as some new ones. I knew there would be some sort of HEA, and it did not happen the way I was expecting. Knowing what we do of Frost's supernatural world at this point in the series, I had figured on a different ending. Overall, an enjoyable story.

A good read. I wish it could have been longer, but it was great as a short story. Bring on some more.

I love all of her books, so how in the world did I every miss this one. This was a good story, the only bad about it was, that it was not longer. I would love to hear more about these two in future books. If you have not read this or any of her other books, you should make plans to do so!

Good
Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Yet another side story about a little known character from the Night Huntress series which I adore. Definitely a good read if you are a fan and a decent introduction if you haven't read The Fabulous Frost yet, although of course I recommend you start with the first in the series as you'd be missing some info but not so much as that you'd be completely lost.
