A review by gullyer
Destined for an Early Grave by Jeaniene Frost
1.0
The first book was enjoyable due to the cheesy rip-off nostalgia vibes for being a BTVS fan when the show first aired.
But god am I sick of whiny naive Cat. I get she’s young, I get this is her first love, I get she’s stubbornly reckless to a dangerous fault. However, the hardest thing to suspend my belief for in this series isn’t the vampires, the surprise dream walking second husband, the tiresome my-mother-who-is-a complete-dick-should-always-come-first thread, or the half-bred turned vamp blood sucker (pretty cool actually). It’s the relationship between Bones and Cat. She still (after 7 years???) has the emotional bandwidth of a 15 year old and it’s so gross toggling that with hot sex scenes.
Maybe I’m too old for this series.
