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!

The Night Huntress series came highly recommended by Fiction Vixen. She never steers me wrong so I knew I would like it. I’m going to be starting the 4th book either tonight or tomorrow.

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.
OMG you lucky girl, you!! Count me in!

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.

If You Haven’t Read Her Yet, What Is It About Her Novels That Pique Your Interest?
I Have Never Read Any Of Jeaniene Frost Books. What Pique My Interest First Was Word Of Mouth. Some Of My Friends Had Mentioned Her Which Got Me Curious. Second Was Her Book Cover. The Cover Looks Pretty Steamy.

I first got wind of Jeanine’s books through paperback book swap. I swiftly read the first three and was enthralled with Cat and Bones.

I can’t wait for Spade’s turn! :D
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 haven’t read any of her books as yet but I have seen a few reviews on various blogs.
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.
