This book should come with a warning label: do not read while driving, operating heavy machinery, or on a ten minute break at work! Seriously. When our heroine and her gorgeous vampire beau finally have their big consummation, I was between classes and practically needed a defibrillator before I could face my second-period students.

In fact, that was a problem. Cat and Bones are very endearing, and their passion for each other is contagious. To be blunt (and I usually am!) I wanted a few more Goo ...more

I got caught up in the story immediately and read it straight through, carried by the action and emotion.

Couldn't wait to get my hands on the second one.

What a wonderful start to a wonderful Series.
I have fallen in love with bones.... and timmy.
one hot and sexy and the other oh so cute.

Cat is a Half Vamp and Half Human. who kills vampires to avenge her mothers date rape.
she picks up bones and from this moment onwards she is immediately torn about him. she loves him .... she loves him not.
slightly frustrating(just go with bones). this book has all the big boxes checked for me.

Loveable Characters.... Check
Humor.... Check
Strong Heroine....check
Sex ...more
