5 Brother From Another Mother Stars*Spoilers*First read 3/1/2014 Reread 12/1/2015 Re reread 11/26/2019 reread 4/25/21reread 5/1/22"So, you ready for your other present? Or now that you're almost a quarter-millennium old, maybe you want to take a nap instead?" His laugh was sin at its most tempting. "For that, luv, I'll make you beg."-Cat and Bones "Since I saw you yesterday, I've done nothing but ponder that very question. If I'm right about what we're dealing with, the only thing protecting me is this." He unzipped his pants and tugged them down. I whirled just in time, barking, "I don't care what you think, your junk does not have special abilities. And I already heard about the piercing," over my shoulder. "That's not what I wanted to show you," he replied in an implacable voice. "Now stop being such a twit and look."-Ian and CatShort and sweet I have an addiction to these fictional characters and it's bad! Bones finds out that he has a long lost brother. But things are not what they seem. His brother is demon possessed, he has been since he was human. That demon uses Bones's brother to possesse Bones, Mencheres, Spade, and the rest of the gang besides Cat, Ian and Denise. So it's Ian, Cat and Denise to the recuse. Will they find a way to get rid of the demon without killing the host or will they lose their loved ones forever?"I told you once before: Crispin is one of the few people I'd fight to keep from harm, even at the cost of my own life. Tomorrow, I'll prove it." I stared at him, noting the hard line of his jaw and the uncompromising gleam in his vibrant turquoise gaze. "You do that, and I take back every nasty thing I've ever said about you." He grinned, his mood changing from serious to wicked in an instant. "Why? I'm all those things and more."-Ian and Cat "Kitten." The word was rasped so low I almost didn't hear it above the whoosh of wind. "You have to let me die. Now, while I still have her contained!" I didn't know what he meant and I didn't care. I pulled the knife free, flinging it aside in revulsion. Bones made a ragged noise and his face twisted, as though he were somehow in more pain without the silver in his heart than with it. "You're not going to die," I swore, then pressed my mouth to his for a kiss filled with all the love, pain, fear, and frustration of the past several days. I was still kissing him when I pulled out my other gun and shot him through the head.-Bones and CatThere is a lot packed into this novella. Although it is like 150 pages so.... but it was so very good. Bones and Cat are stronger then ever, fighting for their love. In the last book I didn't feel them as much, it was like their relationship took a backseat to the plot. But they are front and centered in this one. There are some super intense and sweet moments. Cat and Ian teaming up was too funny. Ian shined in this book too. Ian has so much too him then what he shows, I can't wait to see the woman that knocks Ian on his cocky ass! I missed Vlad in this book, but that's okay since I am reading his book next :) Great book, sweet ending and we learned a little secret about Ian. "I'd like to propose a toast," I said, rising and lifting my glass. "To family, whether by blood or by affection. We'd all be lesser people without them."-Cat

Home for the Holidays by Jeaniene FrostNight Huntress 6.5. Urban fantasy. Bones gets a surprise on his birthday. A previously unknown brother. But something strange is going on and it’s up to Cat and Ian to figure out the full story. Best read as part of the series. It’s got action, suspense, humor and vampires....so blood too. A wonderful addition to the series. I listened to the audio version narrated by Tavia Gilbert. Tavia had distinctly different voices for Cat, Bones and Ian. Not only voices, but timing, and cadence as well. Extremely well done and entertaining because of it.

Cat & Bones...anything with them is a treat for me......I can't get enough of this couple!!!!I loved this short Xmas story...meeting up with all the characters I have come to love.A real Christmas treat!!!!This is such a fabulous series with endearing and unforgettable characters that you can't resist.

Re-read Feb 6th with Buddies Books and Baubles. Two vampires and a demon, allied together. It was a Christmas miracle. This novella was like a full story all by itself. Cat and Bones don’t know how to do anything small and so when trouble comes knocking on the door in the form of Bone’s long lost brother we all know the shit is going to hit the fan.The only one that seems to not be acting crazy, well crazier than normal, is Ian. Cat and Ian must work together to save Bones and the rest of their friends from an unknown treat. “I told you once before: Crispin is one of the few people I’d fight to keep from harm, even at the cost of my own life. Tomorrow, I’ll prove it.” This is a great warm up to the final book of the Cat and Bones series Up From the Grave. There is plenty of action and the banter that we love from group of loyal friends. Ian has become one of my favorites. He is lovable for someone so full of debauchery. I hope he finds so good lovin sometime too.

“To family, whether by blood or by affection. We'd all be lesser people without them.”Okay, this story was so so sad. It's Christmas time and of course there is no way Cat and Bones will manage to have a quiet holiday.There is a mystery unfolding about Bones' long lost brother who suddenly appears. And before Cat and Bones decide whether this person is a fraud or a genuine brother, Cat notices that not only Bones but also all their vampire friends act strangely.Soon Cat will need to fight for Bones’ love. Actually this is the book that we learn so much about demons and how strongly they can influence humans and supernatural beings.They are lot of things happening in this short novella. I thought the ending was sad ((view spoiler)[soon after Bones meets his brother, he has to say goodbye (hide spoiler)]), but mostly the book is a strange mysterious adventure with vampires and demons. And Ian has a secret to share with us :)

Very entertaining, I had fun reading this!Perfect addition to the best UF/PR series out there!Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1) - 5 stars.At Grave’s End (Night Huntress, #3) - 5 stars.Devil to Pay (Night Huntress, #3.5)Home For The Holidays (Night Huntress, #6.5) - 4 stars

A longer novella than those before it, but there was more of a story to tell. I felt that this could have really been its own book, and was almost disappointed that it wasn’t.Cat, vampire and regular pain in everyone’s ass, has invited her nearest and dearest over for Thanksgiving and Christmas, intending to have a quiet time at home. It’s also her husband’s birthday, with Bones turning the ripe old age of two hundred and forty five. But the celebrations are cut short when the vampire Wraith makes his appearance and declares that he is Bones’ half-brother. He reveals to Bones who his father was and what became of his family, and while Bones is slow to accept this as truth, soon they are acting like best friends. Which is suspicious in itself. In fact, all the vamps except for Cat and Ian are hanging on this newcomers every word, and something is very wrong with their new family member. Guess Cat won’t be getting her perfect Christmas after all.Everything that the reader has learnt from this series is put to the test in this novella, as it combines vampire lore with that of demons and other supernatural beings. You need to have red not only the Night Huntress series, but also the spin offs as well. Not only do the characters all make a cameo (except Vald, which I now think is weird considering Cat and his strong friendship), but not everything is explained, kind of relying on the reader to already hold that knowledge. Otherwise seeing Denise turn into a cat may seem a bit weird if you don’t know the story behind it.Two vampires and a demon, allied together. It was a Christmas miracle alright, but of the macabre kind. Still, I’d take my miracles however I could get them.I really did enjoy the story, but given what this meant for Bones’ sense of belonging and their families, it was odd to just be a novella. Bones’ past is delved into, which could have massive implications, especially considering what Ian discovers in the process, and I’m curious to find out whether any of this story is integrated into the seventh book.Really though, I love Cat and Bones. They just seem to have everything. And if anything happens to either of them in the last book I AM GOING TO LOSE MY SHIT!! I have been putting off the last book in the Night Huntress Series because I don’t want this story to end. These characters are my friends, and saying goodbye can be tough. But at the same time I shouldn’t begrudge them of their final adventure…so here I go…

There is nothing quite like a spooky holiday romance set in the Night Huntress world. This holiday season, Cat and Bones are hosting a small party with their inner circle...until an unexpected visitor drops by and takes everyone by surprise! In this novella, we get to dig a little deeper into Bones's past back when he was human. I was surprised by how action-packed this story was! I love the trio Denise, Ian, and Cat working together. I love that the ladies who can't stand Ian are the ones who are forced to conspire with him 😂 There is also some interesting development about Ian that I am really intrigued about 👀The plot was quite intense for a novella. I am trying to keep this review spoiler-free...but I wonder how the events that unfolded in this story will impact certain relationships. Next up: VLAD!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited!!!!!!P.S. ⛓️🔥

Buddy (re)read with Choko and Robin at BB&B.Can and Ian don't like each other. Or rather Ian knows how to make Cat see red and the only reason he's still alive undead is because Bones cares for him. Otherwise Cat would have put a silver blade through his heart a long time ago. Which is fortunate for us because Ian is hilarious. As I said Bones is the reason those two pretend to get along. But once Bones long lost brother shows up and Bones, Mencheres and Spade start acting weird, Cat has to band forces with... you guessed it - Ian. The result was that I almost suffocated laughing. Thankfully my brain still got enough oxygen to note some interesting tid-bits that pave the way for Ian's book. I think re-reading it will be a whole new experience now that I have my memory refreshed!

Okey I'm just gonna go out and say itI don't know what the hell this is about, but I'm gonna read it anyways. Anything this lady writes is golden so sign me up for a copy :)-5 stars Loved it!!!!

What a great little story! Really enjoyed Cat and Ian as the main characters. Ian is such a dirty little shit and I love him for it. Denise jumps in and proves yet again why she is valuable as a friend and ally. I cannot wait for Ian to get his own book......although he is lucky to be alive after the stunt he and Cat pulled......can't say it wasn't hot though. :)
