Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost

3.0

I continue to love to hate this book while still reading it for the (toxic but) intense romance, fast-paced action and the sheer DRAMA. I was THIS close to giving this book a 2-star because I am so done with Cat. I was totally cheering Bones on when he ripped one into her somewhere in the middle of the book about her hypocrisy/double standards, bad decision-making, recklessness, immaturity, etc. But then she kind of redeemed herself when she reflected a bit around 60% and acknowledged that she wanted to blame Bones for shit so she didn't have to admit she was a part of the problem. So, 3 stars instead of 2.

Man, characters like Rachel Morgan and Cat just make me miss Ilona Andrews' Kate.

My irritation with this series aside, I do like that this series is fast-paced, action-filled, romance-filled, and lots of plot twists and an interesting storyline. I continue to hope futilely that this series will write women less hatefully and to stop writing race insensitively... And also PLEASE let Cat be less irritating in the next few books.
