He's the tall, dark, mysterious fellow who drops in to lend a hand and sometimes save the day over in the Night Huntress series. And his love interest in Denice, Cat's recently widowed best friend.As the book opens Denice discovers that a dangerous force from her family's past is behind a series of deaths. In spite of shunning all vampires (including her friends) Denice quickly realizes that she's in over her head. Since she's ghosted everyone, she has only one possibility to turn to, and that's Spade, who swoops in to save the day. Which is what he does.One of the best elements of Cat and Bones is the couple is united in their gleefully murderous sociopathy. They have their rocky start, but they spark off each other. They're well developed and fully rounded characters that we see advance in character. They're funny, passionate and quirky. I mean, Bones is filthy rich and lives in a cave--right? Bones has an East End vibe, subtly evidenced in his language. Cat has lead her violent, solo life and has a prudish streak hiding her freakish nature.This couple feels tropey and underbaked. Denise reads more like the heroine in a contemporary romance. She undertakes multiple TSTL behaviors, right up to the end. She's grieving, but as a reader, I don't empathize because there was no development of her late husband, Randy. So how can the reader care that he died? There is so much potential in this set-up. Denice's accelerated appetite could have been hilarious. Her grief for her husband could have been a weight, but we were told about it, not shown.Spade is way gothic. He's nobility, but uses archaic slang that doesn't really suit what I imagine his accent would be. There's a lot of back story sprinkled in, but it doesn't feel genuine. Of the two, he fares better, but never really shines as a primary hero.Another bugaboo for me is that it's a road trip from luxurious house to luxurious hotel. Spade is filthy rich and we never forget it. The action is frequently cut off. The fight starts, the scene changes and the fight is over, so the reader is told what happened. The major battle between Spade and Web is anticlimactic. The only way Spade can defeat him is by Cat welding "go slow" powers. Huh? When other characters from earlier novels appear, a jolt of life enters the pages. Ian is funny, Bones is intense and all-powerful, sadly, Cat is pretty flat. Nathanial is a treasure chest that's only cracked open. He's a tragic character, but we see only glimmers of compassion from Spade. And of course, more guilty internal dialogue from Denise.A female-driven UF needs a heroine who is larger than life and Denise just wasn't there for it. I don't know what she does for a living, what her hobbies are, I didn't even have a clue what she looked like till later in the book. Her nascent shape-shifting ability was intriguing, as were her claws. I knew she was grieving, that she felt guilt, that she had PTSD because we were told. Not shown. Even though she had a fight scene, she wasn't an active heroine. This fight lasted over two hours, but all we see is Spade coming in to save the day.OK, now that I've been harsh, I do want to say what I liked. The sex was well-written and hot. There was a hint of homoerotic tension. (Ian really should be bi...) I love the team dynamics. They've known each other for centuries but are still hashing out relationships. I love the touches of humor and Spade's easy acceptance of some of the less glamorous aspects of the human body. The set-up of the story is cool, searching out a long-lost ancestor who screwed up your life. I liked that Denise had room to grow as a character. I LOVED her final shape shift. And the resolution was compassionate and somewhat sweet.So, worth a read? Yes. Worth a re-read. Maybe. I do hope she decides to give Nathanial his own story. He'd be great in a M/M paranormal romance. ### ⭐⭐⭐ A Mixed Bag *by S***S on Reviewed in the United States on August 14, 2016* I'd previously read the first two Night Huntress books, and really loved Cat and Bones. There were things I liked about this book, but it had problems as well. The main one was I never warmed to Denise. She seemed bland and focused on all the wrong things (like her hair and makeup and endless internal dialogue rehashing the same things over and over). I never got a sense of who she was beyond her sexual attraction for Spade and her fear of a shadowy, totally undeveloped, antagonist. (More on that later.) She developed a backbone in the last chapter of the book, but by then it was too late because I didn't care what happened to her anymore. It's too bad, because Spade made a phenomenal leading man. Just the right blend of alpha with pure sex appeal. I kept rooting for him to find a partner other than Denise, which isn't good in a romance. From a technical perspective, there were many things repeated, so editing could have been improved. My other pet peeve was the plot wandered. Ms. Frost is a better writer than this book suggests. The antagonist makes a cameo appearance at the front end of the book, and shows up one other time before the end, but he never felt like much of a threat because his time "on stage" was so limited. Overall, I found this a lackluster read, but I haven't given up on her books. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well written typical paranormal love story *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2017* Now while I understand this was a stand alone novel, the characters have gone through development in the Night Huntress series world previous to this. Denise is Cat's best friend who is suffering from PTSD, because her husband was killed in the brutal attack from Book 3 (At Graves End). She is also unfortunately suffering the consequences of a late late family member who trifled with a demon, took part of it's power and then bolted. Gipping the demon from his price for giving it's power, the late family members soul. As punishment the demon is going to each of Denise's family members and killing them via heart attacks. Luckily for Denise she has connections with the underworld and soon hooks up with Spade! Bones' (Cat's husband's) best friend. I'm not going to lie I always wanted these two to get together ever since he gives Denise a interested look in Book 3, but Denise was then married to Randy. Which left me kind of feeling like the author killed Randy off just so Denise could be with Spade and so Spade would no longer be lonely. It irked me a tiny bit, but on the other hand it shows how dangerous their world is, and shows logical outcomes of that, Randy's death. Overall this book left the couple getting together feeling a tiny bit forced, and in my opinion I felt like they had little chemistry. I kind of would have preferred them just being friends. They were good friends. I liked Spade better as a character when he was single than a drooling-over-Denise Spade. At least he isn't love-zombified to the point that he gives her whatever she wants, and neither is Denise. Which is why, again, I say they should have been friends, but I digress. We get to learn more about Denise, who was a bit of an unknown character; all we kind of knew was that she was Cat's best friend. She has the stereotypical southern girl personality and surprise surprise she has a temper. Although this may be amplified by something else...Without giving too much away I will say the ending was fresh and a nice surprise. I absolutely love the new character introduced and can't wait to read more about him. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/17774901-first-drop-of-crimson-night-huntress-world-book-1](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/17774901-first-drop-of-crimson-night-huntress-world-book-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
