A very short story about Bones before he meets Cat. It takes place during Mardi Gras in New Orleans. It is a quite sad story as well as a scary story. Bones is paid to hunt two immortal serial killers, a ghoul couple that like to play with their food before they kill it. They are extremely, disgustingly, horrible sadists.Pretty soon Bones will not care for the payment, but only for the vengeance. You will definitely love Bones more in this short story and if you a fan of the series, it is a must-read. I would recommend reading it after you finish a couple of full novels in order to understand Bone’s behavior more.

This was definitely a quick little novella that takes place before Bones officially meets Cat. I feel like I can't genuinely say much about it because it was so short. But for most of it readers follow Bones as he travels to New Orleans to help find and get rid of a pair of ghouls that have a bad habit of attacking/eating tourist. There were quite a few twists and turns that I didn't see coming in this one and it made me wonder whether readers would have the opportunity to see Maria (queen vampire) in the following books in the series. This short novella also showcased a softer side of Bones that I didn't expect to see and it definitely illustrates why he has so much grace, respect, and compassion towards Cat. For me, I just see Bones as a gentleman when he's in a serious relationship so the end of this book really really tugged at my heartstrings. This paranormal romance series is definitely one that I'm enjoying and I can't wait to dive into the rest of the books and the novellas.

This was really good! I love Bones who is the featured character in this short story. The story was entertaining and the narration of the audiobook was excellent. It was really nice to see a bit of Bones in his pre-Cat days.Book source: Public library via Hoopla

Bones is one of the few heroes whose looks I've never paid much attention to because his actions and words are much more interesting and compelling. Since there's no Cat here, I could appreciate his whole self a lot better, not just his persona. And me likey.

Reviewed on 01/15/2012I’ve read this after reading the first book and about 50% of the second book so I knew exactly who Bones was and what he did for living, well, not living, but, oh,, you know what I mean. What he does to get money, anyway.The story is in New Oreland and is before he meets Cat. It’s in 3ºpeeps POV, not my fave, but it was cool enough. It still got me somewhat inside Bones. He is still hot and still Bones, but there was no talk back and all the feisty stuff I love about this series. The ghouls where cool and now I know more about them and how they come to be. There’s more background for them. We get to see Mardi Gras and all the festivity in it. Also, now I know how Bones got his platinum hair that I love so much LoLI’m Brazilian and Voodoo is not something new to me.[image error] In some very light level, of course, I practice a little. My gran is a gypsy and magic is not something foreing for me as I grew up. So I was pretty excited about Queen Mary. She is a really shadowy character and I sure hope to see more of her in the future.This reading is part of the following reading challenge:

Great story of Bones in times pre-Cat. It also provides the backstory of his tumultuous relationship with Marie.

Sometimes I think people don't know how to review/appreciate short stories and novellas. This was IMHO one of the better ones I have read recently since it had a clear storyline, a good beginning and a good ending. What more do you need? Obviously it is not a novel so some things are taken for granted but if you have read the series this was a great read for what it was (hint: NOT a novel). Bones was awesome even without Cat and you get a peek into some of the background from the last couple of books about his past dealings with the Voodoo Queen. I loved it and for what it was (NOT a novel) it was excellent and I gave it 5 Stars :)Ahhh, I see a theme in these reviews, we men just are not as good without our women :) Literary bias is ugly -grin-

The Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost was one of the first paranormal series I read and I immediately loved it. I enjoyed this short-story as well. Reckoning takes place in New Orleans before Bones and Cat met. Although I missed Cat in this story, I enjoyed seeing Bones in a different light. The Queen is also a character in this short-story and the reader gets a glimpse of the Queen's and Bones interactions that will be continued later on in the series. I would recommend Reckoning to fans of the Night Huntress series.
