Review of Halfway to the Grave

*Spoilers for anyone who hasn't read this book*

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 like 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.


Reading this book, I will tell you was one of the top choices to get for two years, and as I waited patiently for the day of my 18th birthday when my mother would stop worrying whether everything I read had sex in it, I knew seeing Halfway to the Grave on the bookstore shelf made my two years of patience worth it.  Upon reading it the character's Bones and Cat brought balance and new understanding to each other.

For Bones, Cat is new territory, when he first meets her, he thinks she is just an ordinary human till he finds out after pissing her off that she is the product of a newly turned vampire's rape and as she had grown up, her mother had taught her all vampires are evil and none could be good.  I loved how Cat found new ground in Bones realizing vampires aren't all evil.  Just from reading all the excerpts I could for this series I knew one thing.  Cat and Bones are meant to be and whatever was going to be thrown their way, they wouldn't let anyone stop them from being together.

So, for this book I give Jeaniene Frost and Halfway to the Grave the gold star or A+ both the book and author deserve.
