A five star book for me. Wow! This sequel to Halfway to the Grave is even better than the first book which was a great book. This is easily one of my favorite books.

Cat is back. Darker, stronger, the head of a government paranormal agency who is still in love with Bones, the sexy lethal master vampire who trained her. Bones finds her though four years have passed since she left him in order to protect him. He wants her back, but part of his past comes back to tear things between them. The author could so easily have done the Big Misunderstanding throughout most of the book and kept them apart, but she didn't. She's a great writer who doesn't resort to cliched plot devices.

This book is even better than Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, Bk 1). It's fast moving with nonstop paranormal activities. It's also absolutely hilarious. Both Bones and Cat have very funny quips. The author introduces several interesting secondary characters. The complexity of the Night Huntress world grows. Don't even get me started on entire Chapter 32. The infamous Chapter 32 had me fanning myself. If you don't like sex scenes then Chapter 32 isn't for you, but Bones can Chapter 32 me anytime he wants.

This vampire series is one my favorites. After I finished all the Black Dagger Brotherhood series books by JR Ward, I thought nothing could surpass my love for those vampires, but Bones and Cat have. Bones is one delicious alpha male hero, but without all the angst and arrogance others in this genre have. His wicked sense of humor is a thing of beauty. I can't tell you how often I laughed at some of his comments.

Do yourself a favor if you're a fan of the first book. Get this one and read it all the way through. Don't skip ahead to the aforementioned chapter, but when you get there, make sure you have a couple of cold drinks to cool you off. You'll need it.
