360. The First Draft Has Bad Breath and Bedhead: An Interview Jeaniene Frost

by SB Sarah · Jul 19, 2019 at 2:00 am · View all 3 comments

I love interviews like this one! This week I’m talking with New York Times bestselling author Jeaniene Frost, whom I’ve known for a long while, since her first book, Halfway to the Grave, came out in 2007. We talk about her career as a paranormal romance author – 16 years! More than 20 books! We also discuss vampires, the draw of paranormal romance, and some skills she’s learned in the past 10+ years. And we … Continue reading 360. The First Draft Has Bad Breath and Bedhead: An Interview Jeaniene Frost →

Books on Sale: Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost & More

RECOMMENDED: Once Burned by Jeaniene Frost is on sale for $1.99 as part of the Kindle Daily Deal! Sarah reviewed Once Burned and gave it a B:

I haven’t read vampire novels in a VERY long time. I have been vamped-out, were-d out, and thoroughly exhausted by all the plots that add paranormalness of various flavors. Aside from the occasional YA paranormal (such as this month’s book club selection) I haven’t read a paranormal romance in months, possibly.

I’m not sure why I made the exception for this one. I was designing the ad for it and the tagline, about a woman who can control electricity and a vampire who can control fire, caught my attention. We hosted a giveaway with a firepit, so I had press materials about the book in my inbox. Then I saw a few positive tweets about it, and then I read the sample, and boom – it was “leave me alone, it’s electric vampire time.” I was honestly very surprised – my paraxhaustion was pretty entrenched.

Books on Sale: Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost & More

RECOMMENDED: Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost is $1.99 today. This is the first book in the Cat & Bones/Night Huntress series, and I reviewed it back when it came out in 2007:

This nocturnal badassery comes to a screeching halt when Cat is kidnapped by an exceptionally strong nosferatu named Bones, who is really, really old, really, really strong, and really, really, really sure that Cat is working for someone, someone who wants him dead.

When Cat, sure her end is about two seconds away, tells him the truth about her life and mission, Bones refuses to believe her, until Cat’s emotions get the better of her and her eyes glow green. Bones, who is not a dumbass after many hundreds of years of existence, makes her an offer: train with him, and work with him as a vampire bounty hunter, or die.

I really liked this book, especially the heroine.

Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

by SB Sarah · Aug 4, 2007 at 12:52 am · View all 31 comments

I usually know to whom to address my grievances, but in this case, I don’t know. Author Jeaniene Frost has written a kickass book with a heroine who fascinated me, a hero who was delicious, and a slowly escalating sense of terror and sexual tension that was very difficult to put down. This book passed the reading-on-the-bus test (wherein I look up from my book at Port Authority and go, “HUH?! We’re HERE? Nuh Uh!”) … Continue reading Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost →
