First Drop of Crimson


I have to say that I'm kind of sad I finished the book. I even tried to make it last longer but once I got into it, it was hard to put down. What book am I talking about? First Drop of Crimson by Jeaniene Frost.

It's the first one in the series of The Night Huntress World. The second one, External Kiss of Darkness comes out this summer and you know I'll be getting that one as soon as possible. At least for that one I won't have to worry about snow. When I bought FDOC, they were calling for another blizzard and you know I had to get my book.

This book picks up after the last Night Huntress book, Destined for Early Grave. Don't worry if you haven't read the Night Huntress you won't be lost. I think there is only a couple scenes you wouldn't understand but that's all. For example, a flashback referring to what happened in one of the previous books but she explains the flashback so you should be okay.

This book starts with Denise who is mourning family members who have passed away. Each death doesn't make sense. Denise wanted out of the supernatural world and now she might have to come back to it. Thanks to an ancestor she has been branded by a demon who wants revenge. She promises the demon she will find this ancestor so the rest of her family is safe. The only person she can turn to, is Spade, a master vampire. Spade doesn't want anything to do with humans but he doesn't want Bones or Cat involve so he agrees to help Denise. The two set out to find her ancestor with the demon not far behind.

I was so excited to read this book. Like I've mentioned before I always thought Denise and Spade would be cute together, so yeah I could never hate this book.

We do meet a couple new characters but what I loved was seeing our old favorite characters. I don't know if I should mention which ones so I don't ruin it. But you know I have to. So highlight if you want to see who is in the book.

BONES!!!! I missed him. Cat was also there of course as a vampire. I loved Ian in this one. He always makes me laugh and Mencheres, who still doesn't have his power of seeing the future.
