Halfway to the Grave von Jeaniene Frost - Inhaltsangabe

Explicit content warning: contains passionate love-making scenes, vast amount of profanities, and multiple depictions of violence. A very entertaining read that gets 4 out of 5 drops of blood!
I was very positively surprised about Cat not being an annoying and whiny first-person narrator. Generally she is not a whiny-character at all, but rather independent, tough and (since it comes with the job description of a self-designated vampire-hunter) ass-kicking. She has a good portion of black humor and sarcasm and is relatively realistic and self-critical. Sometimes she is bit too moody, and in the end incoherent in her decision making process (at least in my opinion).
The vampires in the book are very „classic“ when it comes to superhuman strength and speed, being not the least fond of daylight, and dying when staked. Fortunately, they do nothing weird like sparkling.
The relationship developing between Cat and Bones is inevitable and expected to happen right from the start. It does develop quite naturally though and Cat’s thoughts appeared very coherent to me on their way from seeing Bones as a blood-sucking bastard to being completely head over heels for him. A very understandable process since Bones is an eye-candy as well as just simply totally awesome (and British)!
