How do you send a killer to the grave when he’s already dead?
Having narrowly averted an (under)World War, Cat Crawfield wants nothing more than a little downtime with her vampire husband, Bones. Unfortunately, her gift from New Orleans’s voodoo queen just keeps on giving—leading to a personal favor that sends them into battle once again, this time against a villainous spirit.
Centuries ago, Heinrich Kramer was a witch hunter. Now, every All Hallows Eve, he takes physical form to torture innocent women before burning them alive. This year, however, a determined Cat and Bones must risk all to send him back to the other side of eternity—forever. But one wrong step and they’ll be digging their own graves.
One Grave at a Time is the sixth book in Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series. As a big fan of Cat and Bones, I was excited to jump into another adventure with them. They’re hoping for some peace after everything they’ve been through, but a new villain shows up, targeting innocent women he thinks are witches. Heinrich Kramer is a witch hunter who comes back every All Hallows’ Eve to torture and burn three innocent women. Now, it’s up to Cat and Bones to stop him for good. It won’t be easy, but at least they have each other and some help from old friends and new friends.
This book was another action-packed read with plenty of funny moments. I enjoyed the story, and the villain was someone you really wanted to see defeated. I swear Jeaniene Frost knows how to write a villain that truly needs to be despised. I also liked the introduction of Tyler, a new character who made things even funnier, especially with all the flirting with Bones. Poor Cat. She knows Bones is one who attracts a lot of people.
There were a few characters I missed this time, like Vlad and Mencheres. I really love those two, and I can’t wait to finally read Vlad’s books. Mencheres is always a favorite of mine, so I missed reading him in this book. But at least Spade, Denise, and Ian were around and played a role in this story.
This book was missing a few things I loved from the earlier ones, especially the focus on Bones and Cat’s relationship. Maybe it’s because their relationship is finally stable and there’s less drama. I also wanted to see more about Cat learning to use her powers. It’s a little bittersweet knowing the series is ending for Cat and Bones, but I’m happy there are still other books set in this world. I’m glad I’m finishing the series, and I know I’ll reread it often. The characters and stories are amazing, and I’m grateful Jeaniene Frost wrote Cat and Bones’s books. She reminds me why I’ll always love vampires.
Overall, this was another fun read, and I’d give it four stars. If you haven’t tried this series yet, you’re missing out. If you enjoy watching vampire movies or TV shows and reading them, you should definitely check out the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost.
Here is one reader who is happy to see vampires making a comeback in 2026, though for me, they never went away.

My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
