Halfway to the Grave
by Jeaniene Frost
3.5 Stars
Let's all be honest, we're here because of Spike. We're here because we love Buffy The Vampire Slayer and it's absence has left a void in our hearts. Literally the only reason I started this was because of all the five star reviews and the promise of a Spike wannabe. Right from the get-go, the plot didn't sound too original and I was very skeptical. I mean come on—girl meets vampire. Girl falls for vampire against better judgement. Drama ensues.
via GIPHY
But damn it, this was a pretty entertaining read. I admit it. It was good in the way a lot of pop songs are good—like you know they're crap, but you find yourself liking them anyway. Bones was the best and I loved all the action. I listened to the audio book and the narrator made Bones sound a little too Eliza Doolittle for my taste, but he still kicked ass. Definitely had to deduct some points for Cat because I personally found her to be extremely aggravating at times. I understand that Cat's character had to grow from her beginning insecurities, but more than once I found myself slapping my palm against my forehead in classic "doh!" fashion. Gurl what are you doing?? That whole scene with the vampy ex-nun? Cringe worthy.
Still, this was a great way to pass the time and I was very entertained. I don't know if I can stand Cat for another six books, but I'll definitely be checking out the next one out of curiosity. Gotta find out how these two wacky undead kids get back together!
