A Guy’s Perspective On The Night Huntress Series

Hey Frosties! So today I have a special guest joining us at Reading Between the Wines. The lovely Rhi from RhiReading has graciously loaned out her man candy to me today to give us a guy’s perspective on the Night Huntress series. 

       First and foremost though I want to wish Adam a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you..." Hey, why are you holding your ears? Okay, okay...

So Adam, can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

I'm a father of 3 and married to the greatest woman in the world.  I am a listened falconer who will be taking his first passage Red Tail Hawk in the Autumn and I am super psyched about it, BUNNIES BEWARE!  I also like to nerd out with family while playing World of Warcraft and I tend to read books more at work on breaks and lunch than at home due to the quiet... mmmmm quiet.

Are you an avid reader? What are some of your favorite genres?

I read quite a bit, reading a series of book is my favorite as I can get that dreaded first book done so the rest is just story and development. I like Military Science Fiction like E.E. Knight's Vampire Earth and Urban Fantasy. My favorites include the Cal Leandros series by Rob Thurman, The Hollows/Rachel Morgan series, Night Huntress/World (obviously), and Vicki Pettersson's Signs of the Zodiac novels. I recently started the Fever series and am currently on book 3. So far I'm 50/50 on it.

Paranormal/Urban Fantasy Romance is known to have more of a female following, what made you pick up the Night Huntress series?

My wife had suggested it to me as one series I would probably like, and I was a huge Buffy fan.


Always nice to meet another Buffy fan!

Which novel have you enjoyed the most?

I would say First Drop of Crimson.  It didn't have the ridiculous Cat and Bones "OMG WE GOTTA HAVE SEX RIGHT NOW!" every other page.  I'm a guy and I want to see guys beating ass and winning the girl over.  Cat likes sex and I can appreciate a woman with a healthy appetite but I don't need to read it every other damn page.

What do you think about all these ladies, including myself, swooning over Bones? 

I think they had a Spike crush in the Buffy days so it makes it easy to relate to the bad boy character, I think Spade can take him though.

Actually I was more of an Angel girl, that whole tortured/cursed hero thing, then when he turned all evil....yeah...*ahem* Back to the interview.
Who is your favorite character in the series?

Spade, he is all business when he has to be with no stupid quips *coughBonescough*, lady time comes when it has too.

Do you have a favorite quote or scene?

I like the ending of First Drop of Crimson, *spoiler alert* Denise and Raum where duking it out and Spade was flying super sonic to get to her to protect her.  When he sees them for the first time she is all ghouled out and holding her own, being a book you create an image in your head while reading and I must say it was pretty sick. ;)

What did you think of Chapter 32? *wink,wink* 

I felt that being already a "special" sort of vampire she didn't really need to take it to the extreme she did with Cat if that is what you're talking about.  If it's about Mencheres and his visions that man has WAY too many secrets and needs a hobby like Falconry! *wink,wink*

*sigh* Men... ;)
What are you looking forward to in This Side of the Grave?

I actually haven't read the blurb yet but I would like to know who/where/what this Timothy character has been all this time being that Ian sired three vampires and we have only met two of them. That is what I would hope would be in it.

What does Rhi think of your Night Huntress fandom? 

She just started reading them not too long ago so I've had to keep a tight lid on spoilers, but I think she appreciates someone she can talk to about her books that's within earshot.

Is there anything else that you would like to add?

I wonder who would win in a fight between Rachel Morgan and Catherine Crawfield...

Thanks again Adam for stopping by and I hope that you have a fabulous birthday tomorrow. Make sure to treat him right Rhi. ;) And I know a book that would make an excellent birthday present!
You can find more of Adam at Adventures in Falconry and Rhi at RhiReading



So who do you think would win in a fight? Rachel Morgan (The Hollows) or Cat Crawfield?


3 Days to go! *squee*
