There are a couple of "surprise betrayls" that you didnt' see coming which is cool which make the book interesting.Ī little annoyed about her joining the fbi, but the answers are in the next book.īut definately a really good read. it's nice to not see a stephanie plum or a betsey taylor. it's nice to see a female protrayed as strong like antia blake or damali richards or eve dallas.
the plot has multiple layers, a rare thing now adays.Ĭat turns out to be a pretty strong character and not necessarily in the physical sense. and it actually turned out to be pretty good. I have been holding on to these for a while now. she amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner are there actually good vampires? pretty soon bones will have her convinced that bieng half dead doesn't have to be all bad. In exchange for finding her father, cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as fangs. then she's caputred by bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is fored into an unholy partnership. Bones appears just before the end.HALF VAMPIRE CATHERINE CRAWFIELD is going after the undead with a vengeance hoping that one of these daed beats is her father the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. If you want to assess this for yourself, listen to the SoundCloud extract below. It could be great by the end but I’m not having enough fun with it to continue.beyond the 25% point. Given that I’ve only read the first quarter of the book, I’m not attempting a rating. It was just a little over-played and my suspension of disbelief cord kept snapping and hitting me in the face. I was also put off by Cat’s innocence and easy embarrassment. Bones is English and Tavia Gilbert, who otherwise does a good job on the narration, seemed to me to be channelling Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins every time Bones spoke. I recommend avoiding the audiobook version if you’re English.
I think a lot of people could have fun with this. Some of the dialogue is witty and the tone stays light, despite the often unpleasant content. The conceit the story is based on is fun: Cat, a young woman, born half- vampire (no, I’ve never heard of that before either), as a result of rape, grows up to seek out and kill vampires and then gets entangle with Bones an old vampire who hunts his own kind. I’m abandoning it at 25% because it’s a little too light and too slow for me. I’m reading it now as part of my Thirty Firsts TBR Reading Challenge.
I bought “Halfway To The Grave” a year ago because I was looking for new series and this got positive, “Nice Girls Don’t Have Fangs” kinds of reviews.
