Once he shows up, the book really takes off.Ĭat is one of those characters that may annoy readers. His personal moral code is pretty much “Whatever keeps Cat safe, whatever keeps Cat happy.” Kind of sociopathic, but also funny, charming and hot. We get to know him better here, and he’s kind of a scary guy. The relationship between him and Cat is what makes everything work so well. Yes, an oddly named, bleached blonde, English accented vampire does seem a bit derivative, but he’s such a great character. Through a rather contrived series of events, Bones comes back into her life, just in time to help her when her life is targeted.Īaaahhh, Bones. But I go with it because it’s fun! Cat is also pining for Bones, the lover/mentor she left behind. Yes, this does require a bit of belief suspension, that this grumpy 27 year old would be commanding ex-cops, Special Forces guys, and various other fighting types with more experience of all kinds. Cat Crawfield, half-vampire, half-human chick with issues, is kicking ass and taking names as the head of a special vampire-killing FBI Unit. One Foot in the Grave picks up four years after Halfway to the Grave. Anyhow, One Foot in the Grave is just as hot, action-packed, romantic, and yes, slightly absurd as the first book. Then I was like, “Well, I see their point there, and, oh yeah, she’s got a point there….” I could see what they were talking about right away, but I hadn’t noticed those things while I was reading. After reading the first book, I ran across this review on Breezing Through, and I was genuinely startled that others didn’t like it as much as I. I have a feeling this is one of those series that you will either adore or find ridiculous. I really enjoyed the first book in the Night Huntress series, Halfway to the Grave, so I was keen to get my mitts on this one.
