Robin (littleflwers) - reviewed Review of Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost on 6/21/2009

Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost. Published by Avon Books. This is the first in the Night Huntress Series. **Possible Spoiler Alert!! The main characters are: Catherine Crawfield (Cat) and Bones (Crispin). Cat is half vamp and half human. She became a vampire killer because of her mom. Her mom was raped by a vamp and that is how Cat became half vamp and half human. While out on a hunt she runs into Bones. He also is a vampire killer despite the fact that he himself is a vamp. He is out to get Hennessey a master vampire who is killeing young girls. What Bones is trying to find out is who he works for. When Cat and Bones meet he knocks the crap out of her. Being that she is a vamp she heals quick. He brings her to his place and chains her up thinking she is working with Hennessey. After much banter back and forth he figures out she isn't working for him and decides to make a deal with her. He trains her and gives her some of his blood to make her stronger and her senses better. The story proceeds with what they go through tracking these dirty vamps and how thier relationship starts to blossom. It was well written and kept my interest all the way to the end. It does end with questions that I assume will be answered in the second book. I thought the characters were well described and both had strong personalities. The different fight scenes were good in details and the romantic scenes were not overly erotic. Overall I would recommend this book and will start the second in the series right away.
