Up From the Grave is everything a final novel in a series should be. Jeaniene Frost does a wonderful job of taking things from past books (things that may have seemed insignificant before) and bringing them to conclusion here. 
 Bones and Cat have been through a lot over the years. After a few months of peace they should have known they would be called to action soon. That action comes in the form of Don informing Cat that he hasn't seen Tate and the rest of the boys in over three weeks. This usually wouldn't be strange but when Cat tries to call them, she gets no answer. Ever since Madigan took over Don's job after his death, Cat hasn't trusted the man. She knows that he has something to do with her friends' disappearance. Of course she can't let that sit, so she gives up the peace for one final mission. A mission that will end up changing her life in ways she couldn't even imagine. 
 We finally find out what Madigan's been working on and Don's connection to the whole thing. I liked the direction that Jeaniene Frost took with this book, it seemed more focused than the last couple of books in the series thus far. Ms. Frost also did a wonderful job of kind of recapping events from the entire series, but making it flow and fit nicely within the story being told here. I personally enjoyed seeing everyone pop up again, however briefly for some. 
 Jeaniene Frost made some interesting revelations and if this weren't the last book in the series, I would be very curious as to how things continue. As it stands, however, I will just have to make do with filling in some blanks pertaining to the future. 
 I am more sad than I thought I would be reading the last pages of the series, but I think Jeaniene Frost did a great thing ending it where she did. Up From the Grave definitely ends the series on a high note, plus it makes me want to go back and read the series again to see if there are any tiny dots to connect that point to the end direction. 
 I will miss reading Bones and Cat's adventures, but hopefully they will make cameos in other Night Huntress world books in the future. Regardless, I look forward to seeing what Jeaniene Frost has up next for us.
