One Grave at a Time (Night Huntress #6) by Jeaniene Frost
Published: August 30th 2011 by Avon Books
Myth: 3/5
Though this book was another adventure with some of my favorite characters,, I’d say that this book was my least favorite in the series.
After once again saving the underworld from a massive war, Cat & Bones find themselves trying to stop a ghost that has been killing for hundreds of years. While that does continue to explore the ghostly powers that Cat keeps borrowing, it's a bit of a tangent from the rest of the underworld story lines.
And while it's not a bad thing for a hero to do the right thing just because it’s right, it was a strange motivation, especially given all the pain that she and Bones have experienced in the last 5 books as they continue to risk their lives.
Magic: 3/5
The highlight is that Cat is able to keep figuring out her powers. She increases her bad-assness in every book. I did enjoy that after ghosts were lightly introduced in some of the books, they really do become a more central people of the underworld.
Overall: 3/5
I was entertained. The characters were still delightful and the romance steamy. And while it was a way to segue into more of the depths of ghosts and bring them more front and center in the underworld, it also felt like a divergence from the overall story arc of the characters. I almost think this should have been a short-story in the Night Huntress world than a full book in the series.
