It's sometimes nice to be in the particular position of being able to read more than one book in a series back to back. It's the reason I've held off on reading The Night Watch and Twilight series' all the way through, because I really wanted to read them ALL the way through.
When I started reading the Cat Crawfield series, there were only two books available, and after reading half of the first, I bought the second, and read them back to back. Where the first novel left off, Cat had abandoned Bones to protect him, and had gone to work for the FBI as a special agent in charge of hunting vampires in top secret cases.
Yea, it's basically as silly as it sounds.
And of course, Bones shows up. . . as a surprise groomsman no less (a subplot with Cat's friend, Denise, and Denise's impromptu fiancee was left a little bare and I thought it could have been developed into something a little better.) Furthermore, if Cat views any of Bones' ex lovers and "voluptuous" with "bouncing" breasts, I'm going to heave.
The one major sex scene in the book was a little bit overboard as well, and Frost has begun to dip into the unnecessary bisexual overtones, with Cat being flirted with and manhandled by a female vampire.
It was decent, but didn't live up to either the tone or expectation of the first. The third comes out today, and will hopefully regain some momentum.
