This review can also be found at Carole's Random Life in Books.I had a great time with this book the second time around. If you had asked me what I remembered about this book before I started this re-read, I would have told you next to nothing. It turns out that a lot of this story was so familiar that I am pretty sure that I remembered a whole lot more than I thought I did. I think that I might have actually liked the book a little more on this re-read. Denise has kept her distance from the vam...

I love Jeaniene Frost's The Night Huntress series and I was so excited that Slade, Bone’s best friend, was finally getting his own book. Slade was always an interesting character in TNH series….gorgeous, mysterious…not as outgoing as Bones but still as fabulous! The Night Huntress World series, the spin off from The Night Huntress series starts with First Drop of Crimson and follows Spade and Cat’s best friend, Denise’s story.Denise has been marked by a demon and Spade helps her track...

Wow, well, this is the first book in the Night Huntress World (spin-offs from the Night Huntress series) and focused on two characters that Frost's other novels have only touched upon briefly: Spade and Denise. Spade is your centuries-old, English (and, of course, sexy) vampire and Denise is the recent widow of Randy, a man killed by forces of the dark and supernatural world. Needless to say, vampires aren't often dinner guests at her home.What I found most apparent about this book is that Frost...

I’m sorry to say but: this was NOT good. I gave this 2,5 stars and I'm still wondering whether it isn’t too generous.Was this really Jeaniene Frost? What happened to the woman who wrote such a fresh and exciting book with Halfway to the Grave? Granted: I wasn’t the biggest Night Huntress series fan. So many nice ideas but nothing really fleshed out (minimal world building, thin plot, flat secondaries, etc.) But I came into these spin off series expecting a PNR novel. The only thing important to

Denise sighed. “I’ll be twenty-eight on my next birthday.”“I’ll be two hundred and fifty-seven on my next birthday,” Spade replied. Spade aka Charles aka Baron Charles DeMortimer is Bones best friend. And has been a widower for a few hundred years. He did not love his wife.Denise is Cat’s best friend. And has been a widow recently. She loved her husband. Spade wants Denise and Denise wants Spade Spade brushed her hair back with a light, caressing stroke. She wished his fingers felt lifele

This is the first book in the Night Huntress World series, a spinoff from the *glorious* Night huntress series. Denise MacGregory, best friend to legendary Cat Crawfield. She been through so much shit but still hella strong and got some bite *yes its a vampire pun* “Don’t you ‘Denise’ me,” she snapped, “I don’t care how old, powerful, or strong you are. If you ever do something like that again, I’ll stab you n the heart. You son of a bitch, I can’t believe you threw me off a plane!” Well read...

I've been feeling less and less enthusiastic about the Night Huntress books with each new instalment I've read and sadly this one just continued that trend. There was nothing overly bad with the story. It was just very dull. We took a break from Cat and Bones and got the story of a couple of their friends pairing up. It was Spade, Bones old vamp buddy, and Denise, Cat's human best friend. Denise has been trying to avoid the paranormal world since her husband got murdered by vampires in one of th...

^^HEY SPADE, I AM WILLING TO SHOW YOU MY ACES!^^I really enjoyed this continuation of the Night Huntress world, even though it lacked the charm of the previous series; it still brought quite an entertaining story.We have the best-friends of Cat and Bones in this one. Good ole Denise and Spade, even though I barely tolerated Denise and I am all kinds of obsessed with Spade. We get a vampire versus demon clash, and the transformation of human Denise into something different.Denise’s whole family

**4 "I'm glad I read this despite the most horrible cover ever", stars** A spinoff from the Night Huntress series, this is the story of Denise, Cat’s friend, and Spade, Bones’ friend. When Denise watches her cousin murdered right in front of her by a supernatural being, she tries to get in contact with her friends Cat and Bones for help, but they are unreachable taking time off in New Zealand. Instead, Bones’ old vampire friend Spade decides to look into Denise’s dilemma, but isn’t quick enough

5 StarsFirst Drop of Crimson is a spin-off from the Night Huntress series which is Cat and Bones story. I highly recommend you read the books in order. You get so much more detail that way.Anyhow, this is Spade and Denise’s story.I love Jeaniene Frost’s writing. It’s always a win in my book and that is very hard to do in serial series. I so wished Spade and Denise could have gotten an epic series, BUT I am looking forward to Ian’s series!From the first page I loved the book. I really like Denise...

4.5 Demonic Stars!! I first read this back in 2011, at the time it was probably the book I enjoyed the least in this wonderful spin-off series. For some reason I decided to revisit Spade and Denise and I must admit I enjoyed it very much this time around. Spade is ever the gallant gentleman vampire, but, we also get to see his overprotective ruthless vampire side when it comes to saving Denise from a Demon.Denise has been separated from her vampire friends since her husband Randy's brutal dea

Disappointing. The plot had so much potential and I love anything paranormal, but throughout the whole book I felt like I was waiting for the story to actually begin. There was absolutely NO chemistry between the two leads. Nada.

Vampires, Demons, Oh My!Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series is the series that got me back into reading. I fell in love with the world and characters. When Spade was introduced I was hoping he’d get his own story. I do so love it when side-characters you come to enjoy get their own novels or series. The first time I read First Drop of Crimson I was in love. It was a non-stop read. Same for my second time reading, but now I’ve gone back and listened to the audiobook for the first time and love...
