You can run from the grave, but you can't hide . . .
Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. She's still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her, but when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind.
Being around him awakens all her emotions, from the adrenaline kick of slaying vamps side by side to the reckless passion that consumed them. But a price on her head—wanted: dead or half-alive—means her survival depends on teaming up with Bones. And no matter how hard she tries to keep things professional between them, she'll find that desire lasts forever . . . and that Bones won't let her get away again.
This series just gets better and better! I love that Cat and Bones can't get enough of each other and they have great chemistry..I am not sure if she is writing more books, but I am praying she plans on writing like 12 more books! This book they introduced more important characters and Cat gets to finally meet her dad, meet him not kill him, but I am praying we will see him again in the future. I love the scenes with Cat and Annette fighting over Bones, cracked me up!! Keep them coming Jeanine!!!
After the way the first book ended, I was a little wary on the direction this series was going to take. But this book met my every expecation and then some. The story opens 4 years after the first book ended. Cat now leads a team that hunts vampires. She has a great life, friends, and is good at what she does. But even now she still misses Bones, the love of her life. I don't want to give too much away, so let me just say that this a fun, fast read that will not disappoint. I think one of the best qualities of this book is the humorous dialogue and situations. I was laughing out loud at some points, something I never do while reading a book. Oh, and I'm not all about needing sex included in the books I read, but boy can Frost write a good love scene! If all writers could write them that well I would be reading a lot more romance novels. I hope Frost continues this series and if so, I can't wait to see the direction the next book takes!
In Manhasset, Virginia, FBI Special Agent Catrina "Red Reaper" Arthur puts a knife into the heart of vampire Liam Flannery; one twist and he will be gone forever. However she recognizes him as Ian a friend of Bones, who she still loves. For Bones, she lets him go and thinks back to her hometown in Ohio where she and her lover Bones the vampire killed the governor for selling girls to vampires; her grandparents died in the slaughter and she was considered a mass murderer. Don her current boss knew she was a half breed and placed her on his special top secret team to eliminate vampires. She left Bones a goodbye note.
Don informs the team of a graphic murder in the Ohio house that belonged to Cat's grandparents; a note left behind states: "Here Kitty Kitty". Someone knows of Cat. She and her team travel to Licking Falls to look at the crime scene. One corpse contains limestone from a nearby cave, which leads Cat to believe Bones is involved. She enters the cave alone. Seven vampires greet her with one explaining the bounty on the Red Reaper. They bring her beloved to her, but it is not Bones. Instead it is a creep she dated once as a teen. She kills the vampires, but not before a member of her team dies.
At her friend's wedding Cat and Bones meet for the first time since she disappeared four years ago. She explains why she left and he tells her Ian wants her, but will not attack her; he will go after her loved ones. He promises to help her as he still loves her.
This is an action packed second chance at love romantic fantasy stars a solid lead couple and a strong support cast especially her team. The key though somewhat comic book in nature is that the government agency seems genuine. Although the good guys win each encounter too easily, readers will enjoy this exciting sequel to HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE.
