This book is okay, better than the 2nd night huntress book. Love Spade, his English manners and his unwavering loyalty and friendship with Bones. I like Denise better when she's a supporting character. She seems more fun and confident in the Night Huntress books. She loses her husband in a previous book which accounts for her personality change, I guess. And I would understand if it was just guilt over moving on after her husband's death that plagues her throughout the book, but it's also an annoying lack of self-confidence. It seems like every time Spade says just about anything she's like "Oh you don't want to help me anymore? Right, I get it, of course you don't, I'll find some other way." or "Oh right, of course not, why would someone like you want to be with me?". And Spade has to be all "That's not what I was going to say..."
I love the Night Huntress series, but the Night Huntress World books are so far not my favorite, but are good for furthering the along the rest of the series.
I should just write my own romances about sassy, confident, nonvirgin women...

Nachtjägerin ist ein Spin-Off-Roman zu der Buchserie Nighthuntress von Jeaniene Frost und ich bin ganz ehrlich - keine Ahnung warum ich da so lange einen Bogen drum gemacht habe! Chronologisch setzt das Geschehen hier etwa nach Band 4 ein, daher würd ich empfehlen mindestens schon so weit zu lesen bevor zu diesem Buch hier gegriffen wird.
Ich hab die gut 400 Seiten in einem Rutsch durchgelesen, die Geschichte von Denise und Spade hat mir echt gut gefallen. Beide werden mir in dem Buch als absolut glaubhafte Charaktere geschildert, die beide mit ihren Dämonen zu kämpfen haben (zuzüglich zu dem richtigen Dämon auch noch mit metaphorischen Dämonen, hihi) und trotzdem schnell auch den Blick füreinander finden. Ich mochte die Liebesgeschichte, sie hat sich glaubwürdig entwickelt, hat der Hauptstoryline nie die Show gestohlen und hat sich sehr organisch in den Plot eingefügt. Me likes!
Ansonsten - ich hab mich gefreut in diesem Buch auch wieder auf alte Bekannte zu treffen - besonders Ian liebe ich ja, er ist einfach großartig!
Frau Frost hat einen wunderbaren leichten und flüssigen Erzählstil, die Seiten fliegen nur so dahin und es hat Spaß gemacht zu lesen. Das ist die Jeaniene Frost, die ich während der Cat und Bones Serie lieben gelernt habe, grandioser Erzählstil.
Ich bin jetzt schon ganz gespannt auf den Folgeband Rubinroter Schatten, der die Geschichte von Mencheres bereithält!

Read from March 19-20, 2016. Gave it 4 stars.
Re-reading from December 12-14, 2015. Despite being more Paranormal Romance than Kat and Bones' books without any fun in it, I still enjoyed spending a little time in Spade's company.

This book was okay. I had trouble liking the heroine, Denise, and my issues with her ended up being a reflection of my feelings towards the story. Both the plot and the character were complex and interesting. Denise was bogged down with grief after losing a husband and a number of family members. She angry with the supernatural world, and her ire is a black cloud over the entire story. In the previous books of the series, with Cat as the heroine, she was angry too, but there was still wit and humor to the story. This book fell flat for me. To top it off, Spade didn’t do much for me. I don’t think he was one dimensional, but he felt that way, anyhow.
