I remember someone explaining, chemically, how a cheese burger works. How the fatty meat combined with the fatty cheese and the white buns make a cholesterol parade in your blood stream that gives you endorphins that make you happy when you eat it. Something about that combination, seems to give our bodies a buzz. They were explaining that THAT'S why cheeseburgers and Mcdonald's in particular are so damn popular. They're addictive foods because we get addicted to the buzz of eating them.

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 love to heat things up on the dance f More...

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 flirting, snogging, hooking up, and love confessions.

2) Many complain that Bones is Sp More...

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, Catherine, who’s 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 favorite quotes ...

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 look like a girl scout. 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 paid off in t 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 better roma More...

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 prejudice for all vampires became 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

This is one of my favorite series of all time. Meet Cat and Bones!



This is one of the best couples of all time! The love I have for this series... there are no words.

Meet Cat:



One word: Badass

Half vamp who tries to do the world justice by getting rid of all the evil vampires...

Bones:



Two Words: Bigger Badass

He is the best leading man ever!! Even over Dimitri Belikov and Jericho Barrons.

He fell in love with Cat and never ever apologized for it! If you were talking to Bones it would kinda be like thi More...

I don't have a lot to say about this because there isn't anything to pick apart; this will be half a review. I was initially hesitant to even pick the book up because I am so tired of vampire stories. I heard good things about this one but at one point I had it home from the library and it didn't look that interesting. I had too many books so I sent it back. It was only after seeing even more good things about it that I went back and looked at it again. I am so glad I did as the book was so good More...

Opening Line: "I stiffened at the red and blue lights flashing behind me, because there was no way I could explain what was in the back of my truck."

I'm a little late jumping on this bandwagon but anyways...
I really enjoyed HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE and will definitely be reading the rest of this series in part because of the delicious hero Bones.

Hallo, luv!

And... another series that I am officially OBSESSED with!


I had ever heard of this series, although I had heard the name "Bones" here and there from my good friend, Megan. She insisted that the audiobook of this was amazing (yeah, yeah, yeah, she was right, but don't tell her that... :P) and once I added it on here I couldn't believe how many people love this series, so that made me super curious. I now see what all the hoopla is about! The fact that this is an adult series is really 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. Suffice to say, wonderful re 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 vulnerable, lovea More...

3 n a 1/2 Stars actually!

Loved this book!!
The story opened in the perfect way.
I loved every bit of the action and of course, it had one of my most favorite things in it-a kick ass, smart mouthed heroine.
I did not like Bones right away. But gradually, he became awesomer and awesomer.
Another thing which always tips the scales for me is good humor and this book had that down pat.
I also loved Spades and would want to read more about him and meet Ian.

I had heard so much about this series. I am wondering why I didn't read it sooner.

I absolutely loved this book. It captivated me from the first page. I could not put it down. It was fun, it was exciting, it was sexy. I fell in love with Bones. He struck me as an "anti-Edward." I loved Cat and her lethal vulnerability. I loved how their relationship developed.

Great book.

This book is a perfect example of 'good trash'. It's basically shameless escapism for people who like to grin at:

1) Killing the bad guy. (The heroine, Cat, might be only half vampire, but she's mighty quick with a silver stake.)

2) The tropes of modern society. (Frost has a razor sharp satire knife, and damn if she didn't cut me a couple times.)

3) Vicarious sex. (I seriously wish the sex was a bit less graphic, because my pre-teen daughter found my copy while I was cooking dinner and the first 25 More...

I hadn't intended to read this book from the moment Amazon suggested it to me. The notion of a "half vampire" character just didn't appeal to me, and it sounded like it fell squarely into the paranormal romance arena, which isn't my thing. Since then, I've had three different people strongly recommend it as something I would like. Granted, these three have track records for enjoying appallingly bad -- uh -- having tastes different from mine. I resisted the first two, but the third actually gave More...

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 lost track of what More...

Good grief!!! My original review for the book is below, but I decided to listen to the series in audio form and my bud, Sunny, told me that I should take a trip down memory lane and refresh myself with Book 1. I can't tell you how happy I am that I took her advice.

Not only is this book amazing but the narrator is out of this world. She truly brings this book alive and I adored every voice she came up with. And she's More...

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 which is more than I can 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 out at ba More...
