But, as she stand at the altar at her friend's wedding, Cat is stunned to make eye contact with one of the groomsmen - none other than Bones. Before either has a chance to adjust, it becomes clear that a hit has been taken out on Cat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vampire Slayer meets Vampire Assassin, 21 May 2008
By Helen Hancox "Auntie Helen" (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
(TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
Cat Crawfield seems rather invincible. She's a half-vampire, half-human woman who works as a vampire slayer for the government. Four years have passed since the events in the previous book ('Halfway to the Grave') and she has been trying to move her life on after leaving her vampire lover, Crispin Randall, known as Bones although the cause of this name isn't explained in this book. However when Cat discovers that someone is trying to assassinate her she finds herself teaming up with Bones again to try to find out who's trying to kill her. Cat now has her own team of humans who help her in her vampire slaying and she has to overcome their prejudices against the undead as well as her own negative feelings towards Bones's former lovers.

There's plenty of action in this book - Cat's an invincible (almost) fighter although the fights have more realism than some as people do actually get injured. She's a lively and interesting character too although she does tend to leap into situations without properly reflecting on them some of the time. Cat's vampire-hating mother has a brief appearance in this book which is amusing but it's mostly about vampire politics, fights and Cat and Bones's relationship, as well as Cat's thirst for vengeance against her father.

Some of the dialogue for Bones felt a little awkward - he used English slang but sometimes it didn't quite sound authentic to these English ears. He was also slightly nebulous as a character - I didn't feel I really got to know him in the same way that I learned about the other characters. This issue was perhaps addressed in the previous book in the series, which I haven't read, but it didn't really detract from this story too much.

However I loved this book, felt it was well-paced and interesting with some good characters and with well-thought-out vampire lore underpinning the events. It has inspired me to pick up the first in the series and I will certainly look forward to the next offering from this author.

3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, 26 May 2009
By Shotts (Newcastle) - See all my reviews
I had really high hopes for this book and was disappointed, yes the story was fast paced with lots of twists and turns, there was also lots of character development with the likes of Tate etc, but I felt, like with so many books of the genre, most notibly the Rachel Morgan series, I don't like Cat's character I think she's a pain in the backside who doesn't appear to pocess any rational thoughts, Bones has migrated into the Dick Van Dyke school of English which at times was cringeable.

I also felt with this book that the author went too far with the main love senario which in fact spoilt it for me as it wasn't necessary. I agree that this book needed to be written and the premise was good, but again with many of these books is it really a series?? Maybe I'm just bored with these Buffy books now??

5.0 out of 5 stars An exciting read!, 9 May 2008
By David Bridger (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Halfway To The Grave was one of my favourites from among the big pile of urban fantasies I read over last midwinter, and I like this sequel even more.

I read it in one sitting. Couldn't put it down. Honestly, this is one of those books you carry around the house with you, bumping into furniture while you try to navigate the day with your nose stuck between the pages. It's a fast, exciting, hard-hitting story full of fangs and blood and love and action. And the sex sizzles!

Cat Crawfield is rapidly catching up with Carrie Vaughn's werewolf Kitty as my best-loved Urban Fantasy character. There are other main characters I enjoy in the genre, but both of these are products of nurture as well as nature, and they're written with such depth and breadth that I can't help falling in love with them.

This is a great story. I love the characters of Cat and Bones. Read in one sitting (admittedly on a plane that was delayed). Looking forward to more in the series.
