Danger waits on both sides of the grave.
Half-vampire Cat Crawfield and her vampire husband Bones have fought for their lives, as well as for their relationship. But just when they've triumphed over the latest battle, Cat's new and unexpected abilities threaten to upset a long-standing balance . . .
With the mysterious disappearance of vampires, rumors abound that a species war is brewing. A zealot is inciting tensions between the vampires and ghouls, and if these two powerful groups clash, innocent mortals could become collateral damage. Now Cat and Bones are forced to seek help from a dangerous "ally"—the ghoul queen of New Orleans herself. But the price of her assistance may prove more treacherous than even the threat of a supernatural war . . . to say nothing of the repercussions Cat never imagined.

My Review:

Favourite Quote: "Ask me if I sparkle and I’ll kill you where you stand.”

This Side of The Grave was a blast to read!  It is full of action and adventure, smexy romance and plenty of laugh out loud moments.

Frost writing has great pacing constantly keeping you on the edge of your seat while being entertained especially by the dialogue full of humour.  I don't think this This Side of The Grave is the strongest plot wise in the series but still it is good.  Frost still manages to come up with interesting ways to keep Cat and Bones and the gang in danger.

My favourite thing about this book and the whole series is the characters.  My friend Tina ~waves~ uses this term "it is like visiting old friends" and I think that is what reading this series is like.  Cat and Bones is one of the most amusing couples.  I love their playful yet sweet relationship.  They still have a great spark even though this is book 5.   Although some of their sexy time had me laughing so bad that I had to but the book down and until I got it together again.   And how could forget the distinctive bunch of secondary characters especially Vlad.  I love the witty banter between all the characters.

Overall, if you looking for a fun, fast paced and sizzling paranormal adult read, then I suggest giving this series a try.
