First Drop of Crimson Contest!!
I am a huge fan of Jeaniene Frost (if you haven’t guessed that already) and her forum is the only one I’m really active on. So imagine my shock, surprised and excited face when I found a copy of First Drop of Crimson, the first novel in her Night Huntress World, in my mailbox. I was giddy beyond belief. I mean, seriously, doesn’t this sound amazing?
The night is not safe for mortals. Denise MacGregor knows all too well what lurks in the shadows—her best friend is half-vampire Cat Crawfield—and she has already lost more than the average human could bear. But her family’s past is wrapped in secrets and shrouded in darkness—and a demon shapeshifter has marked Denise as prey. Now her survival depends on an immortal who lusts for a taste of her.
He is Spade, a powerful, mysterious vampire who has walked the earth for centuries and is now duty-bound to protect this endangered, alluring human—even if it means destroying his own kind. Denise may arouse his deepest hungers, but Spade knows he must fight his urge to have her as they face the nightmare together . . .
Because once the first crimson drop falls, they will both be lost.
It’s Denise and Spade! For those who have read the Night Huntress novels, both of these characters have appeared there and now we get to read their story. I will tell you right now, First Drop of Crimson is fabulous. Not only can it be read as a stand alone, but we’re introduced to demons and the ending is completely not what I was expecting. I could go on, but I’ll save that for my review, which will go up closer to its release date of February 9th.
However, you’re probably wondering why I’m bringing this up, right? If you thought I was happy when First Drop of Crimson first showed up, you should have seen my face when the second copy showed up. That’s right, I have two ARCs of this gem sitting on my desk right now and I don’t need two of them. So I’m going to give one away.
In order to get your hands on the wonderful novel that is First Drop of Crimson, all you have to do is answer this question: How did you find the Night Huntress novels and Jeaniene Frost? Did someone introduce her to you? Did you randomly come across her in the store (much like I did)? If you haven’t read her yet, what is it about her novels that pique your interest? International entries are welcome, but shipping may be delayed a little! Meaning you might not get it before the release date.

I came across Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress novels when i was making a purchase on Amazon. They always have the little arrow scroll thing that says ‘Customers who bought this item, also bought this” and i was looking at all the similar genre type books and spotted Jeaniene Frost’s novel. I’m glad i found them because it is one of the best series i have ever read. Gotta love Cat and Bones!
Really excited to read FDOC!

I found the Night Huntress Series by looking at used books at Barnes&Noble. The tittle caught my eye (I’m a sucker for anything with the word grave in it;) and the next thing I know I’m at home wondering where and when I can get more Cat and Bones. Since then I’ve been obssessed with anything Jeaniene writes and I know that First Drop of Crimson will be no disappointment.
I read an excerpt from Halfway to the Grave from one of Susannze Ennoch’s books and was totally intrigued. The part where Cat was whistling while driving her pickup truck with the body of a dead vampire was so hilarious I decided I had to buy all of the series to see read more about Cat. I’ve read the books so many times the pages are beginning to fall apart. I can’t decide which book is my favorite. I just recycle the reading order every other week.
Night Huntress is the best para-romance series I’ve ever read and I’m so glad Jeaniene isn’t done yet. It will be a sad sad day when she closes the chapter on the Night Huntress world.
Cannot wait to get my hands on FDOC!

Great contest!!
I learned about Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress Series from Mandi at smexybooks. She sent me the first novel and I devoured it then promptly bought the rest of the series. I then proceed to tell everyone I knew about it, tweet about it, blog about it. I basically made a nuisance of myself but I don’t care. :) I can’t wait to FSOC!! Shameless fangirl here.

I work at an athletic complex- one of the gymnast’s mothers was reading Twilight and I told her I really enjoyed the series. She was like OH! The next time she came in she brought me Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. Holy shit did I fall in love. I LOVE CAT AND BONES. Read that first book in a day & was out buying the next 3 books the following day. Woo, no looking back from there ;]

I found these books at the beginning of the year while looking for a good vamp romance. They sounded good so I bought them. They were not just good they were great. I have told everyone and anyone about these books. I have to admit I have reread them a few times. Bones is very additive, just can’t get enough. I can’t wait for FDOC. I really like Jeaniene Frosts style of writing.

I came across the Night Huntress series in walmart. I was looking for another book but purchased Halfway to the Grave instead. It was an impulse buy. the only reason I bought it was because of the cover. I didn’t even read the blurb.
best impulse buy ever.
I was looking for another series with vampires and my friend introduced me to the Night Huntress series. I finished the first book one in one sitting. Needless to say, I am mad about these books and multifaceted characters.

I have not really been a reader of vampire books in the past but I have started to buy some of them following on all them hype about Twilight, New Moon etc.

I stumbled across her work while looking around the local bookstore. I haven’t read her stuff yet, but it is in my TBR pile(which is pretty huge).
Havent read her yet but from the comments alone it seems really a good read to get into.
Holy crap! In all my excitement I forgot to answer your question! *sigh* Figures.. Anyway, I found her books by accident, I actually remember not being sure about reading them but gave Cat and Bones a chance and it paid off! :)
I came across Jeaniene Frost at my school library. It was the last two weeks of school and I wanted to read somethng, and I picked up One Foot in the Grave. I read it, loved it and wanted to find out what happened that led to Cat leaving Bone. So , I was going to Poland soon, so I needed to buy something to read. I bought Halfway to the Grave and At Grave’s End. Read HTTG about 20 times. Found out before leaving that Jeaniene soon after my leaving publishes another book, and once I came back I bought it. I’ve bben hooked on everything Paranormal Romance and Jeaniene Frost ever since, her books also helped me decide that YA novles miss out a lot of passion in a relationship.

I was cruising the bookstore for ideas when I came across the Night Huntress series. The cover actually caught my attention, then the write-up hooked me. Only the first two were out at the time, so I’ve been agonizing over the wait periods in between books ever since then. I love them sooooo much. They’re just a perfect blend of action and adventure and romance. Now I have a a book club full of ladies who’ve read them, and ended up buying the series for themselves, lol. I CAN NOT WAIT to get my hands on First Drop of Crimson!! Spade is such an interesting character, I love what we’ve seen of him so far in the series. And have you SEEN the cover!!! WOWZA!!

I’m also putting an entry in our book club blog about the contest (http://palmcoasttwilightbookclub.wordpress.com/)
Thanks for this… *crossing fingers*
I was trolling the aisles of a Barnes & Nobel, desperately seeking an edgy, absorbing vampire book about a female hero who kicked butt. And there it was, Halfway to the Grave. The cover art grabbed me and after I read the jacket, I was completely sold. I couldn’t wait to get started so when I slid into a seat on a tightly packed subway car, I immediately stared to read. I howled when Cat approached Bones with her daring question, and I did not give a hoot that I drew strange looks from my fellow riders on the NYC subway. I’ve been on a fast moving train ever since and I refuse to get off. Next stop, First Drop of Crimson.
I first heard of Halfway to the Grave when I was on my massive search for moar zombie novels. I put this title down on my to-read list, but haven’t actually got around to reading it as of yet. *ashamed* But the excerpt I read from HttG sounded fun and I’m willing to try other Frost’s works even sans zombies. =D

I randomly picked up One Foot in the Grave while shopping at Borders one day. I hadn’t really ventured into the romance section much, but figured I’d give it a shot because I loved the cover and the blurb sounded really cool. Of course, when I got home, I realized I had bought book #2, so I had to rush back out and get book #1 ASAP. I devoured them in about three days and then passed them on to my roommate.

And I will of course post a review on my blog. :)
I got hooked on Jeaniene’s books by fellow fans which I met on another author’s message board.
Someone from Jeaniene’s board came over to the Vicki Pettersson board and started talking smack to Vicki about how she had claimed Bones, some old inside joke, apparently.
This created an uproar amongst the members of the board that knew of the character.
I had to investigate further, and figure out more about this “Bones” character.
I went out and picked up the first book and tore lovingly through it, fiending for the next one.
I’m now officially hooked.
(This contest has been pimped on the Vicki Pettersson board!) :)
Vicki Pettersson told me about a new author(Jeaniene Frost)and her first book a few years ago. Jeaniene sent me a signed bookplate for ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE and once I read the first book, I was hooked on this series. She deserves to be on the NYT, her story telling is wonderful. I only hope that her publisher will make a very wise choice and allow her to tell us Vlad’s story…after Mencheres’ story and the next Cat&Bones book of course.

How did you find the Night Huntress novels and Jeaniene Frost? From Charlaine Harris’s forums.
Did someone introduce her to you? Many of the forum users had recommended.
Did you randomly come across her in the store (much like I did)? No
If you haven’t read her yet, what is it about her novels that pique your interest?
I just became a fan on facebook and now am following on twitter.
I already own all four books hardcopy and have begun to but again in kindle version, so sorry, I didn’t buy again.
After being so drawn into the Twilight series, I didn’t think I’d ever read another series again. Then a friend offered her copies to me to read, pushing and prodding me that I HAVE to read these, they are sooo good. I didn’t jump into them right away, but about halfway through the first book, I could not put them down. I had read the whole series in less than 2 weeks. Jeanine did such a great job with them, I am soo excited to dive into FDOC!! Spade and Denise series…yum! And have actually been spreading by word of mouth to other frenzy book reader friends that this is the best vampire series ever!

I was in the bookstore looking for something to read. My friend Casey who is a big reader gave me this list of 10 books she thought I would like. They did NOT have even so much as one of the books one the list. At that point I was soooo mad; I just really started to read and I was all out of books. (I have to have something to read all the time now) I came across Jeaniene Frost, and I thought what a cool name :). I bought the first book. Loved it so much that I went and got all of the rest of them that very same day. Now I have turn my friend Casey, her friend and my Aunt into a Bones lover. We call it the Bones series when we talk about the books. Can’t wait to read more!!!!
Kim Harrison.
And it was a complete stumble, or as I like to think of it, some sort of divine intervention leading me to Cat & Bones.lol :)
The bookshops in my area (or maybe all england) don’t really stock Paranormal/romance, Urban fanstasy etc. It’s only really mainstream authors like Charlaine Harris, Christine Feehan and sherrilyn kenyon as well as a few others, so I’m always browsing the net lookign for books and reading excerpts. (which I why I love Literary Escapism so much, it’s all under one roof! Lol)
Anyway (before I discovered literary Escapism) I was looking on Kim Harrisons site, pining for the next Hollows novel and looking for something to read. She has a whole list of books (now ‘people I know’ http://www.kimharrison.net/Links.htm) and links to the authors. I clicked on all of them, and the excrept of Halfway to the Grave had me so invested, I ordered from Amazon straight away. Since then, I’ve been pining for the next Night Huntress novel. The only bad thing was that I’d have to wait for the release of One Foot In the Grave, but sometime before the third book came out, I joined Jeaniene’s forum (FrostFans, http://www.frostfans.com/forums/) and found people just as crazy as me waiting for the next book! Lol.
P.s, Sorry for the essay! :D

Thank you for the contest!
Greetings from Spain!
I discovered Jeaniene’s books on accident. Halfway to the Grave was put on the wrong shelf (no joke, in the historical biography section) at my local Barnes and Noble. I’m so glad for the accidental placement! :-)
I discovered Jeaniene’s books via Fangs, Fur & Fey. This may have been a few years ago – not sure when, exactly; my brain is b0rked. I own the first three books, but I haven’t read them yet. (I have a strict reading system.) Have, however, read her contribution to the FOUR DUKES AND A DEVIL anthology – didn’t bother reading the rest of the collection ;-)
I came across Jeaniene’s book while on Amazon purchasing my next Kim Harrison book =)
I read the first few pages online and said yep totally have get this book.

I found Jeaniene’s books when I was purchasing other books on Barnes & Noble.com.
Just commented on your review of Darkness Unleashed too.
I came across Jeaniene’s series while looking for books on Amazon. It was a long time ago, so I cant recall which book it was, but I’m so glad i saw Halfway to the Grave. It started me on a fantastic series. I cant wait for FDOC!
Actually I remember the cover but don’t remember where I saw it. Your review here is what has peeked my interest. This really looks like a great book and I would love to read it. Maybe I can win..LOL Thanks for the great contest.
First Drop of Crimson..I love the title and the cover and the trailer.
I have Destined for an Early Grave, but haven’t read it yet because I’m still trying to get my hands on the earlier books in the series first. The thing that made me buy it? I’d heard a few good reviews about Jeaniene’s writing and I came by at a store, so I decided to give it a shot.

I found Jeaniene Frost from the forum at Ilona-Andrews.com. I had just read the Kate Daniels series and was looking for something new when the ladies at that forum recommended Cat & Bones. I read the 4 books available in 4 days.
+ posted this link at http://www.ilona-andrews.com/forum/index.php?topic=23.210
Jeaniene Frost’s books were recommended to me on a discussion board after I read the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs. I have really loved all of the Cat & Bones books and I can’t wait to see Spade from a new perspective!! I look forward to seeing your review of the book.
Also, I’ve subscribed to your feed through google. (thanks!)
I came across Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress books through being a fan of Melissa Marr. I was such a huge Marr fan, that I read her blog religiously maybe 9-10 months ago. Seeing as Frost is Marr’s crit partner, Marr mentioned her and her novels enough to get me interested. I checked them out on Amazon, liked the sound, and book mooched the first – and fell in love! Jeaniene Frost is now right up their with my favourite authors! I love her novels!

i first discovered Jeaniene’s books while trying to find something new to read. I saw the cover art for One foot in the grave at the book store. I sat down and began to read and just became enthralled with it that I bought the series. I went home and finished both book in one day.
OMG. You have no idea how much I would *love* an ARC of FIRST DROP OF CRIMSON.
I came across Jeaniene’s books while browsing the recommendations list on Amazon. You know the “if you liked this book, check out this book” I went a head and bought all three that was out. Halfway to the Grave, One Foot in the Grave, and At Grave’s End. When they arrived I read them in two days! Could not put them down. They’re my first choice of recommendation now.

I have not read any of Jeaniene’s books but I am interested in them because I have heard good things about them. They sound like something I would be interested in.

I’ve not got round to buying any of these books yet but they have been on my wish list for a while as I’ve read a few great reviews about them.

Thank you so much for this contest! I actually started reading the Night Huntress novels about two weeks ago (got all 4 of them at the same time!) and was hooked. A good friend of mine had recommended the books a while ago, but I had actually never picked them up. Now I just wish I had done it earlier! Thank you again!

I came across the Night Huntress series one day when I was on the Barnes and Noble website. I had just began reading paranormal romance books and I saw the cover of Halfway To The Grave. It caught my attention and as I read what it was about and saw that it had good reviews so I thought that I would give it a try. I read it in a day and loved it. I was hooked and rush back to the store and got One Foot in The Grave and At Grave’s End.

I have yet to read any of Jeaniene’s books yet but I was lucky enough to win Destined for an Early Grave in a contest. I went out and bought Halfway to the Grave and just haven’t had the chance to read it yet. *I know SHAME on me* I’ve heard absolutely amazing things about her Night Huntress books and how great Cat & Bones are. I can’t wait to start reading about them.

I randomly ran across her very first book at the lovely Walden’s that use to be in Rockefeller concourse. Why do I love it so much because its told from the view point of a woman that truly doesn’t understand the beauty she is inside and out. It is written in a manner in which you can see this beauty through the interaction of the other characters. Its killing me to have to wait until next year for the next installment. I am glad First Drop is coming out to help with the long wait plus I love Spade.
What a great contest! My friend, Robyn, turned me onto Jeaniene a few months ago. I have since read the Night Huntress series twice and have bought every anthology that Jeaniene has had a short story in. She is by far my favorite author and the Night Huntress series is the best vampire series I have ever read. I’ve always been obsessed with vampires and her vampire world is just amazing and the sex? It is the hottest sex hands down. I can’t wait to get into the Night Huntress World books and look forward to reading more about Spade. I even look forward to reading about Mencheres even though I don’t much care for him. I would be completely thrilled if Jeaniene did a book about Vlad as he is my second favorite character (my favorite being Bones) but I will take what I can get.
How did you find the Night Huntress novels and Jeaniene Frost? Did someone introduce her to you? Did you randomly come across her in the store (much like I did)? If you haven’t read her yet, what is it about her novels that pique your interest? – I came across Jeaniene Frost and First Drop of Crimson randomly in the blogosphere. I even have it in the left-hand sidebar of my blog under the “LOOKING FORWARD TO” module for several weeks now.

Thank you!
Hi I read them all and a friend in the books store suggested that I read them and I did. Cat and Bones are an amazing couple and she is a very talented writer. I enjoyed their adventures and their sparring in all the books. I am glad that there are more coming out and I am looking forward to reading more.
I folllow her on twitter and facebook as well as you
[...] at Literary Escapism’s contest for a copy of Jeaniene Frost’s upcoming book First Drop of Crimson ends tomorrow, so [...]
I was walking through the fantasy/sci fi area of Barnes & Noble and happened to see the cover of Halfway to the Grave. I liked what it said on the back and bought it and One Foot in the Grave, and At Grave’s End. I loved them immediately and when Destined for an Early Grave came out I bought it right away. Can’t wait for the next one!

I first found out about Jeaniene Frost’s books from Vicki Petersson – I follow several UF and/or PNR blogs and am always looking for new authors (one of whose blogs coincidentally belongs to Jeaniene Frost! lol)

If I remember correctly I found her books in a blog, I think that the meme was Waiting Wednesdays, though I’m not sure which blog and I remember looking the cover and reading the summary and falling in love with this book!

I was chatting on a message board and the posters kept mentioning Jeaniene Frost’s works. Unfortunately, I haven’t read any of her works, yet, but I do look forward in starting them.
I enjoy series because each book focuses on a different character that I’ve met in a previous book. I also like when the other characters make “appearances” in the other books.

I got addicted to Cat & Bones and the rest of the world when I got an ebook series of the first three books. I was hooked and I’ve read all four more times than any other book (including those sparkly vamps lol) I love that the characters are real, they screw up, they kick butt and there’s romance, humor, and action all wrapped up in a dysfunctionally perfect world.
So here it goes.

I’m not sure what that adds up to. ???
And I’m dying to review it either way (win or wait):)
I had never heard of the Night Huntress novels or Jeaniene Frost until I read this post. The story line piqued my interest in this book. I’m also glad to see that the story can stand alone even though it is part of a series.

Thanks for the opportunity!
I found the Night Huntress series by accident. I kept seeing Cat & Bones mentioned every where I read it seemed. After hitting Ms. Frost’s website (from Kim Harrison’s blog I think) I had to get the books. Thank goodness I purchased all 4 at once because I read them all in 2 days and had to reread them again I inhaled them so quickly. This series has surpassed all my previous expectations and jumped Ms. Frost to the head of my must read authors list.

I had read the Twilight books but wanted something more with vampires so I looked on Amazon and saw someone’s review that said they were like an R rated Buffy the Vampire Slayer but better. That did it, and once I read the first one I couldn’t stop reading them. I just reread the first one last week for the THIRD time:)

Many of my bookclub friends told me about her, so I started with Halfway to the Grave and worked my way through everything she has published! I just love her books!
