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 ...

This was alright. Pretty big focus on sex, sexual inneundo and romance though and I'm not sure it really added anything to the story. The 'I love you's' came out of nowhere and felt insincere, farfetched and unrealistic. Would have been a stronger story if they had just liked each other and dated and let the emotions grow. I didn't really feel like I connected to any of the characters, they all fell like of flat. I liked Bones but Cat was kind of boring. The story itself was average. There were some great lines that had me chuckling but overall lacks depth. Not sure if I'll pick up the next one. 2 stars.
