You can run from the grave, but you can’t hide… Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. She’s still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her, but when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind. Being around Bones awakens all her emotions, from the adrenaline rush of slaying vamps side by side to the reckless passion that consumed them. But a price on her head—wanted: dead or half-alive—means her survival depends on teaming up with Bones. And no matter how hard Cat tries to keep things professional between them, she’ll find that desire lasts forever…and Bones won’t let her get away again. Original.

After reading Halfway to the Grave, I immediately needed to read book 2. One Foot in the Grave pretty much picks right where the first book left off. It’s four years later and Cat now works for the Homeland Security Paranormal Department. Even though time has passed, she is struggling with her attempts to move on and get over Bones.

Thankfully it doesn’t take very long in the story for Bones and Cat to reunite. He is still mad and hurt at Cat for leaving him like that. But he does understand why she did what she did. And even-though it has been four years, he loves Cat and their passion/chemistry is stronger than ever. They both show their jealous sides in this book when ex’s and love stuck co-workers come into the picture.  It was fun to see how everything played out.

Separately they are strong, stubborn, and smart. When they are together they make one heck of a kick ass team. I couldn’t picture them not being with each other. Jeaniene does a really good job with the development of these characters. Every single one of them is interesting and add something extra to the storyline. I devoured this book in a short time and couldn’t wait to start on book 3.

RATING: 4 out of 5.

Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress #1) by Jeaniene Frost

Flirting with the Grave... Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father - the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unholy partnership. In exchange for finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner - are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her newfound status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side . . . and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

After reading the first two books in the Night Prince series by Jeaniene Frost and loving them, I decided to try the Night Huntress Series. Book one is Halfway to the Grave and tells the story of Catherine Crawfield aka Cat. 

Cat has been basically brainwashed by her mother to think that all vampires are evil demons and need to be killed so the world can be a safer place. So what does she do? She goes out and kills them. Turns out she isn’t just a normal human, she is half human, half vampire. This is one leading lady that can definitely handle her own. She kicks butt and takes names. Cat is very good at what she does and she isn’t really afraid of putting herself at risk hunting vampires. But her world becomes a little bit more dangerous than she expected once she encounters master vampire, Bones.

Bones isn’t your average vampire. He is a master vampire. One who has been around for many many years. And with those years, he has developed knowledge and powers that make him tough to go up against. Bones is pretty badass. He is a unique vampire because he just happens to hunt down vampires himself. And that is how he happens to cross paths with Cat.

Cat and Bones end up working very well together. I loved them both. Bones has this weird sarcastic sense of humor that I enjoyed. And Cat is an impatient vampire killing machine. They are both stubborn and set in their ways, but were Cat is impatient, because of years and experience, Bones thinks things through a little better. And he was smart for trying to get Cat on his side knowing he could use her as an advantage.

Even though I liked Jeaniene Frost’s other series I was a little unsure about this one, but it turns out I was unsure for no reason. I ended up liking Halfway to the Grave very much. So much so that I am already on book five of seven in this series. The writing is well done and there is a ton of action...something is always happening. I never once felt the story lag. If you’re into vampire paranormal romances with a sprinkling of good humor, I would definitely recommend this series and author.

RATING: 4 out of 5.
