I have been anxiously awaiting the release of One Foot in the Grave since the moment I finished the first book in the Night Huntress Series --Halfway to the Grave -- in October. My hope was that the sequel (One Foot in the Grave) would be every bit as good as the original. Guess what? It's even better!

The witty sarcastic tone of the first book (along with Cat's hilarious inner banter) is even more honed than before. This book retains the perfect balance of romance, suspense, action, and humor that made book one such a joy to read (and re-read.) The humor is funnier, the romance is sexier, the action is more edgy, and --as unbelievable as it seems-- Bones is even hotter. I would be lying if I said I weren't grinning like an idiot throughout much of my marathon read today.

The main characters have evolved without changing the core of who they are. I was pleased at the presence nods to some of the characters from book one, and there were new characters that quickly become important to the reader, (which I hope to see again in book 3, At Grave's End)

All in all, it was everything I hoped it would be, and more. There is no doubt that Jeaniene Frost is comfortably finding her place amongst the most talented authors in the genre, and I expect to see many more great things from her.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I'll just order takeout for dinner and curl up for a reread of my new favorite book.

I was excited to read the sequel to Halfway to the Grave, and I wasn't disappointed. Although, I do think that the first book was better. This book starts off four years after the last book ended. Cat has lost all contact with Bones as she had planned, and she is now an FBI agent. She's in trouble now with an assassin on her tail, and Bones is the only one that can help her. It was good to see Bones back, and as much in love with Cat as a Vamp can be. And let me just say, why don't I have bones in my bedroom? He's just too sexy for words. He reminds me of Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. He's quick, funny, and always has a smart ass remark. Cat also has a very sharp tongue, so anyone who gets in her way better watch out. Plus, she can throw a knife like no one's business! Now, that's a girl I can admire.

I liked the new characters that Jeaniene added. They are loyal to Cat and trust her so much, that they will do whatever she says. I loved how everything just started unraveling towards the end. All the pieces started falling into place, and it was exciting to read.

I was a little (I mean just a smidgen!) dissatisfied with the ending, but I don't want to post any spoilers. I'll just say that sometimes people are better off dead. Even though I can't help but like a happy ending. If you like action, there were some really fantastic fight scenes in this book. If you like romance and sex, same deal.

A good sequel and I look forward to reading the next book in the series. It's also spending its third week in a row on the USA Today, NYT, and Borders best seller list! With that let's all applaud Jeaniene on a novel well done!

I was roaming around the book store and came across this book. I took a chance buying book 2 in a series that I knew nothing about. Boy was I glad I found it.

I found Cat's inner banter and witty sarcastic tone uplifting and funny. It make you feel like Cat's a real person more real to life then most characters in books. Anyone who really doesn't want to read the erotic paranormal books there's one scene in this book and it's not a whole lot of detail.

Looking forward to reading book 3 At Graves End.

Couldn't finish this book. If you don't like language in books, it's not for you.

I read the first book in this series and i didn't like it at all, and i decided to read the second, just because..... I'm glad i did.. This is book is WAY BETTER than the first book!! And now i'm hooked to it... I can't wait to read the next one....

Not quite as good as the first, but still a powerful and compelling story. We learn more about Cat and Bones returns. I don't want to give it away but it works. All except the bit at the end between them which seems a bit far fetched.

Vampire hierarchy is explored in some depth and we learn how ghouls are created.

A very funny bit when Cat runs across one of Bones' ex-lovers.

I will definitely read the next!

Read this one right after the first one (order matters! I thought this one was the first one a while back and as a consequence, this book made no sense. Reading in the right order fixed that).

The good: familiar characters, more fighting with powerful vamps, a better peek into the characters

The bad: oh, the whining about how Spike (errr...I mean Bones!) is gone...gone...gone. It was terribly tedious. As was the whole "my mother doesn't want me dating a vampire" angle.

The reunion between the characters was good, but I confess to losing interest about 50 pages from the end.

This series just keeps getting better. It's a few years after the first story, Kat is now a kick-ass government agent, with a contract on her head. The only one that can really protect her is the lover she left behind--Bones. I read this book in one day--could not put it down! It is one of the best paranormal romances I have come across in a while. The characters are well drawn, the story line captivating and action packed. It's a love story but it's not bogged down with a lot of unexpected sex scenes. Just a well rounded story. Highly recommended!

Cat Crawfield is now a Special Agent working for the government to capture and/or kill vampires. But when she is targeted for assassination, the only person who can help her is Bones, the vamp she left behind.

This is an incredible sequel, just as good as the original. There is lots of humor, hot romance, and action. You learn about the vampire hierarchy and how ghouls are created. There are several new interesting characters, along with characters from the previous book. I highly recommend this series. My rating: 5 Stars.

Cat and Bones are back again in book 2 of the Night Huntress Series. This book is a bit different from the first book as now Cat works for homeland security tracking and killing vampires. Bones catches up with her and they work through problems like Bones sire now wants Cat for his own! This is a great read, alot of action, some romance, and new characters you can't help but like.
A must read!

While not quite as good as the first one, One Foot in the Grave was a very good read. The story begins four years after the first book and Cat is working for the government, killing and/or capturing vamps. I was dismayed that so much time had past, but very happy when Cat and Bones were reunited. I think they are an amazing couple and the author does a great job with their relationship. I don't surprise easily when it comes to sex scenes. However, the one instance where Cat tells Bones to do his worst; OMG! It was one of the most sensually erotic scenes I have ever read. The things he does to her! Even though nothing was overly descriptive or explicit, it was still a shock to my system. There are a lot of emotional upheavals, not just with Cat and Bones, but with many of the supporting characters. The story didn't have any real closure, so I'm looking forward to reading the next one.

This is certainly one of the best series I've read in a long time. Humor, sex, vampires, special forces, action. Cat is the newer, better, Buffy; a Buffy for grown ups! Ms Frost can write dialogue like she's a stenographer simply taking notes. Everything is pretty believable and yet so imaginitive I can't believe she's come up with 1/2 of it. This is a series not to be missed. I'm ordering the last 2 now!

very sexy, I loved it!

The first book started out slow for me but then picked up, but this book had me at the first chapter. I had it done in about 8 hours. Loved it.

Read the first book, loved it. The 2nd was almost as good. Read the 3rd, pretty good and can't wait for the 4th.

Characters are wonderful. I couldn't put it down!

I loved this book just as much as I loved the first one, Halfway to the Grave! I couldn't put it down..and finished it within a day. I can't wait till the third book comes out, in fact, I'm anticipating it big time. I will definetly be purchasing that one as soon as it hits the shelves.
