Update: 5/13/11 - I'm not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that this was not as good as the first one. Yes it was. 4.5 stars

Original review: 8/20/09: While not quite as good as the first one, One Foot in the Grave was a very good read. The story begins four years after the first book and Cat is working for the government, killing and/or capturing vamps. I was dismayed that so much time had past, but very happy when Cat and Bones were reunited. I think they are an amazing couple and the author does a great job with their relationship. I don't surprise easily when it comes to sex scenes. However, the one instance where Cat tells Bones to do his worst; OMG! It was one of the most sensually erotic scenes I have ever read. The things he does to her! Even though nothing was overly descriptive or explicit, it was still a shock to my system. There are a lot of emotional upheavals, not just with Cat and Bones, but with many of the supporting characters. The story didn't have any real closure, so I'm looking forward to reading the next one.
