To Cat, vampires are evil creatures that must all die. But in the process, he finds himself more and more fascinated with her. Bones pulls no punches, and systematically beats the daylight out of Cat trying to prepare her for the dangers of hunting the older and truly dangerous vamps that he regularly hunts. Once he believes she isn’t working for one of his many enemies, Bones realizes that Cat could be very useful as his bounty hunter protege, and offers her a deal– if she’ll let him train her to be his partner, he’ll teach her what she needs to know to kill vamps and help her find the vamp who fathered her. One well placed punch from him takes her out of the game and into his dangerous captivity.
Her luck runs out when she meets Bones, an old vamp who hunts other vampires as an occupation. Turns out it was her half-vamp abilities combined with the dumb luck of only luring young vamps to their death. Through trial and error, she becomes a bad-ass vamp executioner. Although she often resents her mother’s pressure to continue the killings, she craves her mother’s approval and doesn’t stop because she’s finally making her Mama proud. It wasn’t until Cat was 16 that her mother finally told her the truth and then, with her mother’s encouragement, Cat decided to devote her life to finding and killing vampires. As her odd “differences” became apparent, Cat’s less than affectionate (and possibly not altogether sane) mother insisted she not let anyone find out and refused to talk about them. The worst thing I can say about it is that book 2, One Foot in the Grave, won’t be released until April 2008!Ĭat was conceived when her mother was raped by a vampire. So, is this series worth your investment? OH YEAH! Once I picked it up, there was no putting it down until I finished. My heroine and hero have a difficult road ahead of them and they will have to work hard to earn their HEA, so their story isn’t over with the first book.
But, for those that felt cheated by the ending of Cameron Dean’s Candace Steele trilogy (which I enjoyed immensely), I’ve included a message from Jeaniene Frost’s website:Īuthor’s note about the Night Huntress series: HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE is the first book in an urban fantasy romance series with half-vampire heroine Cat Crawfield. Since I know it’s a flashpoint for romance purists, I’ll tell you up front that it has an urban fantasy ending. Halfway to the Grave is a hybrid of paranormal romance and urban fantasy.
