Stephy Reading Challenge - Book 15

 

One Foot in the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

A Night Huntress Novel

This is the second book in the Night Huntress series. Told you I needed more Cat and Bones. Though, it was the first book I ever read in the series.

This takes place four years after the previous book. Cat is working for the government hunting down vampires. And missing Bones. At least until he shows back up at her best friend's wedding. 

Cat meets the man who turned Bones into a vampire, Ian. Ian decides he wants Cat as part of his collection. Which... Creepy, dude.

Someone is trying to kill Cat, as well.

Secrets are revealed. Which some were downright gasp-worthy.

I enjoyed this book. Characters are interesting. Plot is great.

The only part I didn't like was Cat's mother. Gods does that woman bother me. So. Fucking. Much. I'd want her to die, but that would upset Cat and I don't want that. But gods, there is nothing likable about her. Didn't like her in the last book. Didn't like her in this one. Probably not gonna like her in any of the other books.

Stephy Reading Challenge - Book 6

 

Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

Trigger Warning!

Mentions of rape

Cat Crawfield is a half-vampire who hunts vampires. As you do.

Cat's mother was date-raped by a vampire and five months later, Cat was born. When Cat was 16, her mother told her that her father was a vampire and that they were all evil and deserved to die. So, Cat starts killing vampires. One night, Cat meets Bones, a vampire. After failing to kill him, he offers to train her to kill vampires better. As one does.

You could cut the sexual tension between those two with a dull knife. So, I was applauding when they got together. And almost crying at the end of the book.

This is the first book in the Night Huntress series, so the ending leaves you slightly hanging. Good thing I have the other books!

Though, must wait until I'm done with this challenge of mine. But I might read the entire series after I'm done. Need more Cat and Bones.

Cat is a little naive and prudish, but those personality traits make sense and aren't annoying. She is a great character that does grow a bit throughout the book.

Bones is... Bones is dreamy. Seriously. He's a British vampire. Who doesn't love a British vampire? Seriously, though, Bones is fun.
