I've been reading the Night Huntress series by Jeaniene Frost since right after the 2nd book came out and am madly in love with it. I had fallen behind in the series and lately I've been catching up. All my love for Bones has come rushing back and so I'm finally doing his MBB post!
About Bones:
Don't we all know Bones by now? Maybe you haven't read his books yet, but I'm sure you've seen the countless other MBB posts about him. So all I'm saying about him is he is a 200+ year old English bounty hunter master vampire.
Who I picture him looking like:
I couldn't help myself, Cat describes him as having incredible cheek bones, blond hair that's gelled, and having a British accent, plus he's a vampire, and I immediately pictured Spike. Funny cause I've never been a Buffy fan, but there it is.
“Actually, Justina, I didn't just ring you to chat about what an undead murderer I was...right, degenerate whore as well. Did I ever tell you my mum was one? No? Oh, blimey, I come from a long line of whores, in fact I called to give you the good news. I asked you daughter to marry me. Now, do you want me to call you Mum straightaway, or wait until after the wedding?”
“If I die, I will wait for you, do you understand? No matter how long. I will watch from beyond to make sure you live every year you have to its fullest, and then we’ll have so much to talk about when I see you again…
“Right, then, mate, terribly sorry for my unspeakable rudeness, and I do beg your pardon. I can only say that it was caused by my natural affront to the notion of her as my sister. Since I'll be shagging her tonight, you can imagine how I'd be distressed at the thought of rogering my sibling"
"You shmuck! The only thing you'll be shagging tonight is yourself!""You wanted sincerity, well, luv, I was sincere.”
Jeepers, there are 23 pages of Jeaniene Frost quotes on Goodreads. That was hard to pick only 3, but I like these ones so that's what ya get.
Squeeeee! I'm a big Bones fan too I love his sense of humour and bizarrely I always picture him as Spike too!
ReplyDeleteI hear so many great things about this guy and this series. I really must grab these and read them one day.
ReplyDeleteLawd have mercy, I had no idea that British rogue was so buff! Wow! Did you know that he narrated the Carnival of Souls audiobook? I'm not really into high fantasy vampire novels, but I'm going to download it anyway so I can hear his sexy British voice. :)
ReplyDeleteWow, that description certainly does sound like Spike. Now I want to read these books.
ReplyDeleteThat first quote with Cat's mother has to be one of my alltime favorite Bones' quotes.
ReplyDelete“Ask me if I sparkle and I’ll kill you where you stand.”
“Lucifer's bouncing balls, Kitten, not again!” This one reminded me of Ron in HP with the Merlin's saggy left...
I thought of using both of those quotes. I also thought about using the "you're the grim reaper with red hair!" quote.
