NIGHT HUNTRESS 1: HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE

As promised, I am continuing to post from my series read of Night Huntress. I Can you tell I am hoping to get everyone else as into it as I have been?

HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE

MY RATING: 5 STARS *****


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.



What can I say, I was absolutely hooked from beginning to end with this one! I could hardly out the damn thing down to eat or sleep. Cat is my favorite type of heroine...Bad Ass!! As a half-breed with a serious hate for vampire kind, she is definitely one of a kind. She hunts vampires with skill and meaning, bringing a "don't mess with me" attitude and sarcastic humor along for the ride. This chick means business from day 1. Love it!!

When Bones finds her, it is like night and day. I mean, these two get along like a house on fire. Instead of killing each other (which is kind of what they both want to do) they decide to work together and Bones trains her until she turns into the amazingly awesome Red Reaper. If you thought she kicked ass before she knew what she was doing....watch out! She is dangerous as hell now with her hotter than hot vampire counter part. Is it really any wonder that the two of them would eventually "click"?

I loved everything about this book. A definite page turner that keeps you interested from beginning to end. I absolutely LOVE the sarcastic humor that both Bones and Cat display throughout the novel. It just makes them seem so real to me!!

To sum it up....humor, action, strong as hell female lead, sexy as hell male lead and tons of sexual tension leading up to...well...great sex. All this  equals an amazing read that I fully recommend to anyone. Frost does NOT disappoint and makes you die to get your hands on the next in the series. Speaking of....I think it's about time to get into:

ONE FOOT IN THE GRAVE

Can't wait :)

  1. I've actually never read any of the books in this series. I don't really like the covers so I keep avoiding them even though people keep saying how good they are. I should probably just suck it up and give it a shot.

    I'm following also!
