Romance Paranormal

Just recovering from a major battle, half-vampire Cat and her vampire husband Bones are due for some relaxation. Too bad they won't get it. Cat's hybrid powers start amping up with strange consequences, and she discovers that some interesting rumors go along with her hybrid status, rumors that have the ghouls and vampires in an uproar, afraid she'll tip the scales in a vampire/ghoul war. She goes to get information from their frenemy, the queen of the ghouls, but the information is given in such a way that Cat and Bones aren't sure they were given any help at all. In addition, Cat is trying to keep it quiet that she must feed from powerful vampires, not mortals, and that she tends to absorb their powers for a while afterward, often with disastrous results. Meanwhile, Cat's not only dealing with threats to her life, a sudden attraction to ghosts, and the emotional rebound from prior battles, she's got to deal with her mom's revenge-fueled desire to battle evil...just like her daughter. Spicy and funny, THIS SIDE OF THE GRAVE makes one want to read the entirety of the Night Huntress series because it is just so well-written.

SUMMARY

Danger waits on both sides of the grave. . . Half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her vampire husband Bones have fought for their lives, as well as for their relationship. But just when they've triumphed over the latest battle, Cat's new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance. With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing. A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage. Now Cat and Bones are forced to seek help from a dangerous ''ally''--the ghoul queen of New Orleans herself. But the price of her assistance may prove more treacherous than even the threat of a supernatural war--to say nothing of the repercussions Cat never imagined.
