Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1)

by Jeaniene Frost

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of those deadbeats is her father - the guy responsible for ruining her mother's life.

But when she's captured by Bones, a bounty hunter and a vampire, she finds herself forced into an unholy partnership.

In exchange for his help in finding her father, and still astonished she hasn't ended up as his dinner, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. But that's not all Bones has to show her - Cat's starting to believe maybe vampires aren't all evil after all, especially ones as cute as Bones. She's half-convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad.

But before she can enjoy her newfound status as confident kick-ass demon hunter Cat finds herself, and Bones, hotly pursued by a band of killers. She's is going to have to pick a side - and fast ...

I forgot how much I loved this series...

I bought Halfway to the Grave on special the other week. I couldn't help myself to be honest. There is nothing better than revisiting an older series and STILL getting the original high. Cat and Bones are such a fun couple. Cat is snarky, gruff and is not afraid of anything that goes bump in the night. Bones has this charm and ability that makes you think he's all about the fun and frivolity BUT he's really bad in an oh so good way.

Again Cat's mum sends my brain to explosion level and Tim is still the sweet and goofy neighbour. The baddies are bad and the goodies are kind of good in an *I'll chop your head off if you annoy me* way.

The narrator does a great job. I think Bones accent was always going to be a tricky one. At first, it was a bit annoying, but as time wore on, I didn't even notice it. I had no problems telling when the characters changed and found her narrating easy to listen to.

I will definitely be going on in the series. My rating stays the same for the audio and the read.
