izabrekilien 's review for:
Halfway to the Grave
by Jeaniene Frost
On top of all the good reviews I read everywhere, this series was warmly recommended by a friend of mine who neglected to mention one thing : this book was so funny !
That friend agrees with me on one thing : come on, apart from Bone's brown eyes... English, dyed platinum hair, cheekbones, flask of whiskey, vocabulary, "menu with legs", attitude, black leather trenchcoat, humor, even the cave ! Ring a bell ? Spike is back ! Waaaaaa ha ha hahah ! (Sorry to squee, I have a fixation on Spike).
So, quite obviously, I loved his character :)
And I loved Cat too, strong, sharp tongue, fearless, totally my type of heroin. I didn't like her family so much, but well, they have their reasons for behaving the way they did.
When Cat and Bones first meet and she tries to pick him up ? Hilarious !
"Oh, stick a sockin it already," he interrupted me with an irritated tone you'd use to scold a child. "You always ramble on so ? No wonder your dates went right for your throat. Can't say as I blame them."
The alcoholic pervy ghost ? Priceless !
"Drunken filthy pig !" I spat. "Bastard !"
"And a good eve'in' to you, too, mistress !" he called out, his edges starting to blur and fade. "Come back soon !"
"I hope worms shit on your corpse !" was my reply. A ghost had just gotten tothird base with me. Could I sink any lower ?"
The scene with Timmie and Cat and her mom ? LMAO !!!
The only restriction I have about this book is that she learns to fight like a pro in a week ? She must be a fast learner. Then, she has special abilities. And she doesn't seem devastated when something happens at a certain time. But well, it didn't keep me from loving that book.
It's not an erotic novel, there is just one scene, yet Bones can be a wonderful dirty talker when he wants to train Cat not to blush in front of potential targets !
"You look luscious, pet. The only thing that could make your mouth more beautiful is if it were wrapped around my cock. I wager you could start my heart again. I'd like to bend you over just to hear how loud you can scream. I bet you like it rough, you'd like me to tear into you until you can't beg anymore..."
"My, my, someone hasn't been laid in a while".
I can't believe I waited so long to read that series ! The final instalment was published recently so I won't be kept on a cliffhanger at some point. This book has a light cliffhanger, but you know it's because there's a series coming, it's like the pilot of a tv show. And believe me, I WANT TO READ THE REST AND I WILL !!!
As a tofu eater myself, I have to add this one more quote :
"We boarded the plane after boxing and stakes and knives and taking them to a FedEx carrier, airport security being so strict nowadays. In the section marked "contents", Bones filled out "tofu".
