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.

A must read for all urban fantasy fans....
By Deborah Wiley
No one believes in vampires... but Cat Crawfield knows better. She's been hunting them for the last 6 years, ever since learning her father is a vampire, a monster who raped her mother. Cat hunts partially to appease her mother, who fears Cat's unusual abilities. But then Cat meets Bones....
Bones isn't like the other vampires. Although he is a master vampire, he doesn't want to kill Cat or even stop her from killing other vampires. Instead, he has a proposition for Cat: work with him to kill specific vampires and he'll teach her all he knows. Will Cat be able to overcome her prejudices long enough to work with Bones?
HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE is the first book in a series from Jeaniene Frost, and it is incredible! Jeaniene Frost has put a new spin on the vampire hunter theme with this spectacular urban fantasy. While there are shades of Buffy, HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE is by no means a carbon copy.
Cat is a spunky heroine, dedicated to avenging her mother. She doesn't want to like Bones, or any other vampire for that matter. After all, her mother has drilled into her head just how evil vampires are... and just how evil the vampire half of Cat is. Killing vampires is the only way she can redeem herself, or is it?
Cat's desire to do the right thing is admirable. Her feisty attitude is fun but it is her dedication to her mom that makes her so likeable. Bones is the perfect vampire to team her up with. His calm and patient demeanor contrasts well with Cat's impulsive nature.
Readers should note that while there is some romance in the tale, HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE is not a paranormal romance nor is the ending necessarily complete. Instead, HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE is the first book in a series and thus there are some issues, even major ones, that are left as cliffhangers for the next book.
Jeaniene Frost has vaulted to the top ranks of the ever growing urban fantasy field with HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE. I can't rave enough about this tale as it kept me positively spellbound. HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE is a must read for all urban fantasy fans!

R-rated sexy Buffy-like story
By Amazon Customer
Halfway to the Grave is the first novel of the Night Huntress series, which is basically my substitute for the Anita Blake books after they became porn. They're also a substitute for the Sookie Stackhouse novels which had a perfectly fine ending which they completely trashed for the finale they went with.
Either way, I love the Night Huntress novels and actually think they're one of the few urban fantasy series I've red which didn't fumble the ball before the end. Are they the best fiction I've read? No. They're not quite as enjoyable to me as the Dresden Files nor do they have the ridiculously over-the-top humor of the Queen Betsy books. Despite this, I'm going to say it's an entertaining sexy series everyone should check out.
What's the premise? Catherine "Cat" Crawfield is the world's only living dhampir and Crispin "Bones" Russell is a 200-year-old Cockney British vampire who is a professional assassin of the undead. After Cat tries to kill Bones, he semi-forcibly recruits her to be his assistant in hunting the worst of their kind. There's a romance which is a central feature of the books but it doesn't sacrifice the plot either.
Part of what makes the romance interesting to is the leads have great chemistry. Bones is a lewd, crude, and sarcastic vampire who makes none of the usual pretensions to suavery so many others do. Cat, by contrast, is capable of being sweet or ruthless as events demand. A lot of paranormal fiction leads lack well-rounded three-dimensional personalities but Cat has multiple sides that all get shown off.
I particularly liked the pair's first meeting and the general absurdity of it all. Catherine tries to seduce Bones in order to get him alone so she can stake him while the latter believes (erroneously) she's a honey trap sent by one of his enemies. They play off of each other well even as Catherine, who thinks all vampires are evil at this point, keeps waiting for him to act horrifically while he's incredulous a nineteen-year-old girl with no combat training has killed almost a dozen vampires before trying it against him.
I like the set up for both their future relationships both personal and professional. It's one of the few romances in paranormal fiction which doesn't require one partner to be utterly dominate to the other. The pair are playful, they fight, and butt heads with neither side overwhelming the other. Speaking as a married man, it's one of the few books which gets the dynamic right in my opinion. At least the kind of relationships I'm familiar with.
Part of what I liked about this book is they really get into the nitty gritty of what TV tropes.org calls "Van Helsing Hate Crimes." Vampires are dangerous predators but thinking creatures, meaning it's a coin toss whether they're evil or not. Cat has been trained her entire life to hate vampires by her mother so it's interesting to watch her long-held prejudices deconstructed before her eyes.
Hate being something designed to make people feel better about themselves by giving them someone to blame is a concept I can get behind and helps elevate the book beyond pure entertainment. Some people dislike using vampires as metaphors for minorities and I get that but I don't mind it as long as people remember to point out the undead are dangerous in ways RL groups aren't.
The supporting cast is very strong with Catherine's traumatized not-actually-that-old mother being one of the highlights. I also liked meeting Spade and the other eccentric vampires created by Ms. Frost. It's rare I think a vampire's history is as interesting as his present but it's very much the case here. I'd enjoy a Bones prequel novel a great deal if Jeaniene Frost ever decides to show events from our jovial undead love interest's perspective.
Hennesey, the villain, is basically just a human trafficker and while this is a strange subject for a urban fantasy novel to deal with, I think it works. Finding out just how high the corruption and greed goes in Ohio of all places is another treat which I give Jeaniene Frost credit for. In this world, vampires are really just minor-league players compared to the human evils around us. I'm also impressed by just how many well-developed minions she manages to create for our vampiric crime lord.
Halfway to the Grave isn't perfect. Bones' British-isms come off as more ridiculous than authentic, Cat comes off as a little too painfully naive, and there's places the book drags a bit but I still enjoyed it immensely. I recommend it for people who want an old-fashioned Buffy the Vampire Slayer-style adventure, complete with its very own Angel or Spike. Well, maybe Buffy the Vampire Slayer for adults as the books do contain sex scenes.
9/10

Yay! I new book series I can read.
By Cysidhe
I am a fan of Urban Paranormal. A devotee of The Hallows, Discovery of Witches, Sookie Stackhouse and Outlander novels. Being in desparete need of a new series of books to read I have come across a few that just don't satisfy my particular reading style. I would neve say just because I pick up a book that doesn't pick up my interest that it was a _bad_ book, just not my cup of tea. There seems to be a writing style or protanginist that I am fond of and this series really does fit my taste. The female lead is annoying, strong and emotionally complex. The foundation of her struggle is well developed and you care for her. The male lead is snarky, a bit spiteful and charming, also another well developed character. I loved this book. It was funny, entertaining and just a bit steamy.
