Night Huntress Series Book 0.5: Reckoning by Jeaniene Frost

Reckoning (Night Huntress, #0.5)
Night Huntress Book 0.5
In New Orleans, a pair of undead ghoul serial killers is about to turn Mardi Gras into a horror show - unless the immortal hitman Bones can hunt them down first. Can he avoid redhaired vampire mercenary in pursuit at the same time? From anthology Unbound.

My Review: 4/5 Stars

A prequel of the Night Huntress series, Reckoning is a short story told by Bones. One curious thing about this story is that though it takes place before the first book, Jeaniene Frost recommends reading it after book 4.5 (the novella called One for the Money). It makes me wonder if something that came from this story, whether one of the new characters introduced or something that specifically occurred, will come back in one of the future books. I did enjoy reading this story though. We got a nice brief look of who Bones was before he met Cat. And the story itself was interesting, especially taking place in New Orleans where the supernatural is all around. Bones tracks down some seriously creepy ghoul serial killers, while all the while he is avoiding be killed himself by a fellow bounty hunter, who is a surprisingly interesting character and who I hope will be the one to appear in future books.
