I ususally don’t post reviews on the weekends (I can only read so many books a week). Instead of not posting anything on the weekends I am going to post book trailers and other bookish news on Saturday and Sunday.
This trailer is a book I simply cannot wait to read. Cat and Bones are two of my favorite characters and as soon as the book comes out I will put everything else aside to read it!
Here is the trailer for Destined For An Early Grave:
From the back of the book:
TURN ON, TUNE IN, DROP DEAD.
If you’re just joining us, welcome to radio station WVMP, “The Lifeblood of Rock ‘n’ Roll.” Con-artist-turned-station-owner Ciara Griffin manages an on-air staff of off-the-wall DJs - including her new boyfriend Shane McAllister - who really sink their teeth into the music of their “Life Time” (the ear in which they became vampires). It’s Ciara’s job to keep the undead rocking, the ratings rolling, and the fan base alive - without missing a beat.
For Halloween, WVMP is throwing a bash sure to raise the dead. They’ve got cool tunes, hot costumes, killer cocktails - what could go wrong? Well, for starters, a religious firebrand ranting against the evils of the occult preempts the station’s midnight broadcast. Then, when Ciara tracks down the illegal transmission, the broadcast tower is guarded by what appears to be…a canine vampire? And behind it all is a group of self-righteous radicals who think vampires suck (and are willing to stake their lives on it).
Now Ciara must protect the station while struggling with her own murky relationship issues, her best friend’s unlikely romance with a fledgling vampire, and the nature of her mysterious anti-holy powers. To make it to New Year’s in one piece, she’ll need to learn a few new tricks…
Jeri Smith-Ready’s vamps are my favorite. I love how they are stuck in their “Life Time” and how they have their little OCD quirks. In BAD TO THE BONE, Ciara is dealing with going to school, dating her vampire boyfriend, and some uber-radical group taking over the WVMP broadcasts. Ciara is one tough chick, but in BTTB we see a little of her soft side. I felt that there was some emotional growth throughout the book. Ciara begins to look toward the future in regards to her relationship with Shane and her work at WVMP. I can’t wait to read the next WVMP book and find out what happens next.
the book girl gives BAD TO THE BONE 4/5 stars!

To find out more about the author: Jeri Smith-Ready
Celebrity party girl Amanda Feral is back form the dead, and hungrier than ever for a good time. With her zombie gal pal Wendy and vampy gay sidekick Gil, this stone cold fox is dressed to kill, on the prowl, and ready to take a big juicy bit out of Seattle’s supernatural nightlife. But what’s a zombie chick to do when her “Mommie Dearest” gets sick? If you’re Amanda Feral, you can either ignore the wicked old witch - or bury the past by visiting Ethel before she kicks it. Amanda’s not thrilled about the idea of crossing three states just to be criticized. But Wendy, who’s always looking for fresh meat , is up for the adventure. And Gil, who just launched his “luxury” resurrection business, needs to disappear because a pissed-off client is out for his blood.
First, the pack their stiletto pumps and plasma into a skeevy rattrap on wheels that used to be a Winnebago. Then, with a little help from a Korean-ghost hood ornament, a masochist named Fishhook, and a slew of “moderately accurate” psychics, they hit the highway - their way. Pf course, they’ll have to navigate past some neo-Nazi skinheads, a horny dust devil, a hunky werewolf cop (who could pass for an underwear model) and an unsightly horde of Kmart shoppers. but for this glamorous gang of ghouls this trip is about to take a dangerous detour that could give road kill a brand new meaning…
The terrible trio is back. Amanda Feral has been kind enough to write another memoir with the help of her ghostwriter, Mark Henry. Amanda, Wendy, and Gil set out on a cross country journey so Amanda can pay her respects to her mother who is dying. Amanda doesn’t want to go, but Gil gets in a little trouble with his new business and getting out of town suddenly sounds good. Road Trip of the Living Dead is as gross and gruesome as Happy Hour of the Damned, This is a hard book to review, because while I loved it, it is hard to pinpoint why. It is not like anything else you would be able to find. It is pee in your pants funny and not to be missed.
Run out and buy it on February 24th or pre-order here:

From the back of the book:
Some things won’t stay buried . . . at grave’s end
As if that wasn’t enough, a woman from Bones’s past is determined to bury him once and for all. Caught in the crosshairs of a vengeful vamp, yet determined to help Bones stop a lethal magic from being unleashed, Cat’s about to learn the true meaning of bad blood. And the tricks she’s learned as a special agent won’t help her. She will need to fully embrace her vampire instincts in order to save herself—and Bones—from a fate worse than the grave.
It should be the best time of half-vampire Cat Crawfield’s life. With her undead lover Bones at her side, she’s successfully protected mortals from the rogue undead. But though Cat’s worn disguise after disguise to keep her true identity a secret from the brazen bloodsuckers, her cover’s finally been blown, placing her in terrible danger.
What can I say about this book? I LOVED it!! Everyone should read this series. Cat and Bones are a great couple and the romance in the book is very strong. They also kick butt. This book took me on a roller coaster ride. At times I wasn’t sure that things were going to turn out the way I wanted them to. All of the characters in this book are so well written and they mesh together well, even the ones I don’t like. I can’t wait for the next Night Huntress Book (which comes out in July)
