Lyndsey rated it:

Calling all Spikeaholics. Warning. Warning. Sexual content abounds!

This book is the perfect fit to fill the Buffy-sized hole in my heart.

Cat is a part vamp/part human, super-strength, vampire-slaying goddess with eyes that glow green when she gets riled up. She has been slaying since the age of 16. Bones is her sleek-and-sexy, bleach blonde, British vampire sidekick who also slays vampires for kicks. And for the bounty. Together they form a kick-ass team who l More...

2.5 stars

I feel a little torn about this book. Can't say I didn't enjoy it in some way, but at the same time I can hardly say anything in its defense.

What I liked:

1) Spunky dialog.

2) Dirty talk.

3) Steamy hooking-up - Bones is a very generous, attentive and giving lover, if you know what I mean.

What I didn't like:

1) This is not urban fantasy, this is paranormal romance. The majority of the book is dedicated to fl More...

Eastofoz rated it:

If it weren’t for the hero this book would be like any other vampire PNR, this poster boy for “hot honeyness” totally steals the show from page 1. The writing overall is quite good with strong characters but the best thing about it is the Brit speak. Those one liners from the hero will either have you laughing your head off (though I wonder if the Brit speak would be as funny for someone from the UK?) or melting in a little puddle of goo :)

The series starts out with the heroine, Cat More...

Great book.

Lots of laugh-out-loud fun.

Best dialogue I've read in a very long time. Brilliant!

Sexy vampires and a kick-ass heroine.

Do I need to point out that the paranormal genre is NOT my favorite? It doesn't matter - this author's writing style and fantastic sense of humor sucked me right in.

No need for me to write a review on this one since I am probably the last person on GR to finally read it, but I am posting a few of my favor More...

5+ stars – Vampire Romance/Urban Fantasy

I know a review isn’t really necessary for this book since there are already so many raves for it and lots of Cat and Bones fans, so I’ll just use my review as a means for gushing over how much I loved it!

Bad-ass half human/half vampire Cat Crawfield, armed with her acerbic wit, bitchy attitude, flaming red hair, slut gear, thigh-high leather boots, and silver knives, stakes, and bullets, slays vampires with a gusto that makes Buffy More...

I started reading this book months ago, read the first two chapters and dropped it. Don’t ask why. I don’t even know myself. I picked it up again and am wondering what the hell was wrong with me back then!?

Halfway to the Grave was a solid UF read. For me, UF is either a hit or miss with me. I either love it or hate it and I think with the Night Huntress series, I never really gave it a chance because I dropped it all those months ago. But sitting my ass down and reading it actually p More...

So this is my second time reading this book and I must admit I even liked it much more than the first one. I still believe this book is not as good as are the rest in the series but definitely a 5 star read IMHO.

There's nothing better than a good UF with tons of romance on it. Don't you agree? And it gets even better because all the books in it are about the same couple so we get to know them really well. You will have to agree with me when it comes to Cat and Bones, there's just not More...

Kathrynn rated it:

Although the spine indicates this books as a paranormal romance, I feel that it was more a kick-butt, fiction, with a dose of romance. The romance was NOT the main focus of the book, but a nice addition. Very mild steam, not graphic. However, the action scenes were graphic and gory.

Enjoyed the humor! A lot of laugh-out-loud moments and cute one-liners. :-) The h/h made a good team. Catherine Kathleen Crawford "Cat" was half vampire/human and due to her mother's pre More...

Blimey! That was bloody brilliant!

Thank you so much to my Street Corner Booker friend Lora for challenging me to start the Night Huntress series. She anticipated I would love the series, but I bet she never guessed I’d need a drool bib for Bones! Whoaza! I know this guy isn’t real, but I still need to say…. IS.HE.FOR.REAL? :O Pass the laminator, I’m updating my list. XD

There is so much I enjoyed about Halfway to the Grave, where to start? It’s funny, sensitive, full of More...

Awesome F-U-N!! I loved this book--I'd rank it right up there with any of the BDB books. Jeaniene Frost writes in a similar witty style as JR Ward does, which I love. I swear I had a smile on my face for 90% of the book. And it was HOT! Not quite erotic, but plenty steamy. I knew that I was in for some steamy reading when the hero Bones was trying to train the heroine Cat not to blush when he 'talked dirty to her'. Whew! There was also tons of action with Cat as a kick-ass, yet vulnerabl More...

This series has been on my TBR shelf for a while and I have put off reading it again and again. WHY???????

Just finished this one and cannot wait for the next. This had a bit of everything; humour, romance, vamps, suspense and a hot, hot, hot hero. Loved the whole premise of the book. Everytime I heard Bones' voice in my head it was with a real pommy accent so BIG well done to JF. So many others have gone before me raving about this series, I won't waffle on too long.

I just finished this novel, and I'm not happy. This is Frost's first novel, and it is AWESOME...great plot, great writing, great sex scenes, laugh-outloud dialogue...just a pure delight. And I am totally in love with the vampire, Bones. One of the best vamp characters ever.

So why am I not happy? Everything fell apart at the end. It switched from being a wonderful paranormal romance novel to one of those exahusting urban fantasy novels. One action scene after another until you l More...

Fani rated it:

I'm not sure if the heroine's mother is the worst I've read about, or the one in Nora Roberts' Born In series takes the prize. One thing is sure: they both are b*****s.

This book reminded me somewhat of Sookie Stackhouse, but with much more action and violence. I had no idea before I started it that it was more humorous than dark; I was fooled by the dark colors in the cover I guess.

All in all I liked it and had a fine time listening to it. It didn't bore me at any time w More...

This is one of the best ones I've read all year. If you enjoy Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books I think you'd like this too. It has the same small-town (Middle America?) setting, and a great heroine. Catherine "Cat" Crawfield is half-vampire - her mother was raped twenty-two years ago and harbours an obsessive hatred towards them. Growing up, Cat was aware she was different from the other kids but not until she was 16 did she learn the truth. Now she spends her weekends hanging More...

Oh my gosh... *fans self* This book was... delicious.

I really, really, really liked this book. I loved the characters and the story and everything. I thought it was all really well done, and I loved seeing Cat grow and learn and find herself.

And Bones. *drool* My goodness is he yumtastic. Sexy, sweet, strong, and with a swoonworthy British accent. I WANT. Why, Jeaniene? Why do you torture me so?? I felt like I needed a bib to read the steamy bits in More...

If you're starting to read this book and begin to grit your teeth and find Cat annoying, and her mother irritating, and you're contemplating giving up...wait. Keep reading.

As with many series nowadays, this first book suffers from a trite and disjointed beginning. But, as soon as the character Bones comes on the scene, Frost's story gains clarity and momentum. It's as if Bones was just what both the heroine and the author needed to find purpose. From his introduction, we have a fas More...

This is one of the most amazing books ever!
Cat is strong, witty and really funny! She makes me laugh so much and I loved her immediately!
Bones is really charming, passionate, even more witty than Cat, strong physically and psychologically and I loved him as well from the beginning!
Cat and Bones together are amazing! They make me laugh a lot and they are a wonderful couple!
The story is original, fascinating and enthralling! I found myself laughing and crying with Bones and Cat More...

Oh my goodness, did I love this book! From page one I was enthralled with both Cat and Bones. I can barely type this because I want to read One Foot in the Grave. The end of Halfway to the Grave was so moving and so sad. I'm very glad I didn't read it when the book first came out. I doubt I could've waited to read the second one.

The writing was spectacular. I was enterained throughout this entire book. The humor was off the charts and I could actually hear Bones's accent. I laughed More...

Reasons why I DIDN'T like (and didn't finish) Halfway to the Grave:

1. The writing. At first I couldn't figure out why I didn't enjoy this book as much as I had anticipated. Soon after that I figured out it was the writing. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't good, either. Frost was lacking (in my opinion) detailing and basic grammar skills. I also noticed that she said the word "hollow" almost every time she described Bones. For some reason, that bugged me.

2. Cat. More...

It’s hard to find a book that has a LOT of humor in it-you’ll find yourselves laughing out loud, HOT, SEXY, SWEET, ACTION-PACKED and HEART-BREAKING all at the same time. What’s not to like?!

22-year-old-Catherine Crawfield a.k.a Cat, a half vampire. Killed her first vampire when she was 16. Cat’s mother encourage her to hunt vampires-holding a grudge for she was raped by Cat’s vampire father.

Bones a vampire who exists in quite a while. How could a vamp More...

I know I may be beaten for this review, (what can I do if I'm a bit masochist?). Okay here it goes.

Cat & Bones. I've read amazing reviews all over. So went to see what the fuss is about.

What's the fuss about?
Cat and Bones make a deadly couple. She being a half breed vampire, and he being a full blood one (no pun intended). They know each other at a weird situation. (Cat trying to kill him, but who's caring?). Both Cat a More...

Summary:

Cat shouldn’t exist; she is a rare half breed. Half Vampire and Half Human, and all freak of nature. Her entire life she knew there was something different about herself, stronger, faster, glowing eyes, pale skin, but she didn’t know why until she was 16. That is when her mother told her she was raped by a vampire and 5 months later Cat was born. Since Cat found out she was half vampire she has been slaying any vampire she cou More...

What a fantastic book! Where to start? Well, first off, I absolutely loved both Bones and Cat! They have to be one of the best couples I've ever read. They are so sweet and adorable, and not to mention ass-kicking together.

This book was seriously entertaining. I mean, I don't think I've smiled and laughed so much during the majority of a book as I did this one. I absolutely love it when a romance book has humor in it, and this one did. Some romance books can be stiff and serious, but t More...

I'm trying to decide if I should give this 3 stars or 4, so I'm going for 3.5. There might be a few spoilers in this review, so be warned.

I had a lot of fun reading this, but a lot of things overshadowed my buzz.

Oh and before I start: there will be some complaining about the realism of this book, and yes, I do realize this is pretty stupid, because, hello, vampire book. But that doesn't mean I have to accept things when logic get's introduced to a window.
