The low exhalation came from a brunette farther up the line. I gave her an arched brow and tapped my engagement ring for effect.“Taken Honey”She was human or I’d have thrown down at the second lingering look she gave Bones before shrugging at me.[…]”He fucks even better than he looks,” I settled on saying. Several heads turned. I didn’t care; I was pissed.”And that beautiful face is going to be clamped between my legs as soon as we get ooome, don’t you worry.”From the crowd at the bar, I heard Bones laugh.
“Hey Walks Like An Egyptian, how about for once you drop the formal stuff and talk like you live in the twenty-first century?”“The shit’s gonna splatter, start buggin’ yo,” Mencheres replied instantly.

This book has so many shocking dialogue and I loved it! The two sections you mentioned had me laughing and gasping at the same time.
And the scene where Bones turns away from Cat was very intense.
Mandi says
Katie – I love it too. I can always count on her books to make me laugh.
Amy C says
I don't read UF, but this one gets great reviews. Maybe I should give this one a go? Open up to a few of them?
Randi says
Hi Mandi,
I couldn't have said it better myself. Awesome description of the series. I also loved ch32 :-) Can't wait to read ch17. I have been distracted away from this book for Suzanne Brockmann's Hot Pursuit!
Mandi says
Amy – Although this is UF, there is a lot of romance. Especially in the second book:)
Randi – That is a good distraction;)
Patti says
AAAhhh! I haven't finished it yet – actually, I'm not even halfway through yet :( But I like it so far.
And oh, Chapter 32 ;) yummy! I do love me some Bones!
Michelle G says
Mandi,

Penelope says
Hi Mandi…this is a great review, and has me totally jonesing for this book! I have never read anything by this author before. Is it OK to start with this book, or are there earlier ones I should read first? I love shocking dialogue, but not really gross-out violence. Are these books really violent or disturbing? Thanks!
Mandi says
Patti – :) Looking forward to your thoughts!
Michelle – Spade's book should be gooooood!
Penelope – In my opinion there is not really gross out violence. I mean, people die…but not in bloody detail. Definitely bad language and sex. I would definitely start with book one. There are many things that happen in this series that would be lost if you started with this one.
Amanda says
OK I want this book!! This sounds right up my alley, thanks for the great review Mandi
Lori says
I love this series! Bones *sigh* Chapter 32!!!
Blodeuedd says
Hi Mandi,
With one of the best romantic scenes you have ever read…now that sounds promising.
I will be sure to keep that in mind
Blanche says
I've not read anything by Jeaniene Frost…..I'm adding this one to my list!! :)
Mandi says
Amanda – I think you will love it:)
Lori – lol..chp 32. There is so much more to this series than chp 32 but I can't help myself :)
Blodeuedd – If you read it, you will remember that chp:)
Blanche – Yay:)
Penelope says
I just ordered Halfway to the Grave from Amazon. Can't wait to get it…thanks Mandi for the recommendation!- Penelope

Danielle87 says
Argh! Okay, so my copy finally arrived and I read 'Destined for an Early Grave' in about 4 hours :)
LOVED it!
I especially love the fact that even though we know that Cat + Bones are the series focus, in this book I still had moments when I held my breath and expected the worst. Jeaniene Frost definitely holds nothing back and I love her for it.
I would have liked more sexy scenes (totally agree about chapter 32 – I blush reading that!… I would have appreciated another chapter 32 in 'Destined'). And you are not alone with the Tate-crush. I wanted more of him too.
Cannot wait for 'First Drop of Crimson' – it's already pre-ordered on my amazon account :)
