Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost

3.0

This book started off really slow for me. I think the reason I had trouble getting into is was the corny British slang that Bones was using constantly and the fact that Cat was so anti-vampire and had such a huge dose of self-loathing to go along with it. She reminded me of the Anita Blake Series...which is one I gave up on a long ago. I don't mind having bad vamps in the story, but I usually don't care for the ones that the storyline centers just on hunting down and killing vamps. I like my vamps to be the good guys, and once you got past the corny British Slang Bones is definitely a good guy. I ended up really liking him, almost wishing I was in his head instead of Cat's. About half-way through the book the world and characters started growing on me and I was able to zip through the rest of the book and even started looking forward to reading the next one...which is good because I picked up four of them for cheap at a book sale. Can't say that I am sorry to see what happen to Cat's Grandparents, and I wish we could have left behind her Mother as well. The book ended with quite the cliffhanger and I'm actually looking forward to reading what happens next. Hope the story and world continues to evolve and get more interesting.
