Product Description |
|
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. |

Halfway to the Grave |
|
Loved it from the time I opened it. I couldn't wait to start the next one. The characters are great, it is very different from any vampire books that I have read so far. |

A good start to a series! |
Anita Blake readers will enjoy this urban fantasy. Cat is your average girl-next-door, except for spending her evenings luring and killing evil vampires. One of those evil vampires raped Cat's mother; he was newly turned and therefore was able to impregnate her... with Cat. Cat's mixed blood explains her unusual strength and her special attraction to trolling vampires.
Through a series of encounters with a vampire called Bones, Cat begins to realize that not all vampires are evil.
Lots of conflicts, twists, & turns to keep the reader's attention; enough violence & sex that you wouldn't want your kids to read it. |

good book Look forward to more! |
I liked this book and look forward to more. It of course, has the romance and ect. you'd expect. Some good funny parts too.
I think with time the author will mature and so will the story lines.

Okay - a bit to wimpy for me |
|
The book is okay, but I don't care for the 'wilting flower' type of women. |

Pretty violent but with a nice sense of humor |
The series is written in first person and is about Cat, half-human and half-vampire. Her mum got raped by a vampire and because of that Cat hunts and kills vampires.
In the first book, Halfway to the Grave, she is forced to team up with another vampire called Bones. Bones is pretty much a bounty hunter/hitman and he tries to track down a ruthless vampire who kidnaps and sells human girls. Cat and Bones have an awesome chemestry going on and of course they hook up.
The book reminded me a lot of Buffy, not because she is a vampire slayer but because the book has an awesome sense of humor without being silly. Every other page made me at least smile but at the same time the whole story line was serious enough. Bones also reminded me a little of Spike (before he turned into Buffys lap dog) and I liked that there was no mistaken about how he felt about Cat.
I didn't like that there wasn't a real happy end in the book. I understood the reasons why she acted the way she had to and I know that Bones will be there in the next book but I think I would have been happier if I would have got a happy end |
