Book 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.

OK start to a series,
By
This review is from: Halfway To The Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
Bones and Cat seem to be on the blogs so I figured I should take the plunge and check the Night Huntress world out for myself. As a series start it had it's moments. I loved the Cat/Bones interaction and can see the attraction. Cat's desire to kill to please her mother and her mother's lack of acceptance bothered me a little but since that was such a small part of the story I could overlook it. It had the potential to have a much bigger emotional impact but I wasn't invested in the character's enough yet. It was a good start and I have continued on to book two.

Halfway to the Grave,
By Mackie "Carol M" (Toronto, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Halfway To The Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
I just finished reading this novel. I couldn't put it down. The heroine was unique. She was fearless and tough as nails without losing her feminity. Usually I intensely dislike 'first' person novels. Anyone who is of like mind, can put that prejudice aside for this particular author. This heroine is more than capable of looking after herself and taking care of business. There is a real story here. While there is certainly a strong element of romance and sex, these are not the key elements in this novel. Definitely, the plot is the key. I haven't provided a lot of detail because I don't want to give away the story. I highly recommend this book to lovers of the 'paranormal' romance genre.

GREAT SERIES OPENER AND ONE OF THE YUMMIEST HEROS EVER,

This review is from: Halfway To The Grave (Night Huntress, Book 1) (Mass Market Paperback)
I really enjoyed HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE and will definitely be reading the rest of this series in part because of the delicious hero Bones. He is absolutely fantastic and oh so sexy, reminding me on one level of Edward from Twilight in his unwavering love and protectiveness of Cat but of course different in that Bones is all man. HTTG is a fast paced, action packed, somewhat bloody yet utterly amusing read. With a spunky impulsive heroine, delicious, bad boy hero and a unique modern storyline involving the Vampire hunter theme.Catherine Crawford (Cat) is just your average half Vampire college student who in her spare time trolls the local bar scene seeking out the undead and killing them. Her hope is that one day she will come across the vampire that raped her mother, otherwise known as dad. One night while stalking her next target Cat gets more than she bargained for when she attempts to take down Bones, a two hundred year old, British speaking, Vampire, bounty hunter. Upon learning that she's half vampire Bones quickly turns the tables on the feisty and impetuous Cat, kidnapping her then forcing her into an unwilling partnership. Bones feels that together they'll be unstoppable since she's cunning and has the strength of a man. She's also pretty darn good with a dagger and deadly with a stake. And since other vampires can't sense her she'll also make the perfect bait. Cat in turn agrees to let him train her under the condition that he helps her find her dead beat dad. Throughout Cat's training she's determined that as soon as she can she's going to take Bones out too. After all her mother always told her; the only good vampire is a dead vampire. As Cat gets to know Bones however she soon realizes that not all Vampires are created equal. And when the bodies start piling up he may very well be the only one she can trust even though its becoming apparent that Bones has some secrets of his own. The sexual tension between Cat and Bones is awesome especially during their training sessions and I really appreciated the gradual build up within their relationship. Slowly becoming friends as Cat lets down her prejudices. Bones is simply lovely, never wavering in his feelings towards her which at times proves difficult. He has been written as a bad boy so when he falls for Cat...Sigh. The story races toward an exciting, blood splattered, cliff-hanger of an ending setting things up perfectly for ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE. My only regret with HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE would be that it has been written in the first person as I would really liked to have heard what Bones was thinking occasionally. I also wanted more love scenes, there were just too many fade to black moments. All this however just signifies to me a great book, when I want more. Cheers
