When we last left Cat Crawfield, she was running away from
her vampire lover Bones so that she could work for a secret organization that
takes out vampires within the FBI. When One
Foot in the Grave starts, it’s been four years since that day and Cat has
become the top agent within this organization. The case she is working on that
night has some old ties to her former life. Ian, the vampire she’s sent to destroy,
turns out to be Bones maker. She lets him go as an old debt to him and goes on
her merry way.
The problem is she intrigues Ian and he doesn’t like things
he can’t have so he is starting to hunt her down so that way he can add her to
his collection. Not to mention the other vampires who have contracted hits on
her life for her former profession as the Red Reaper and she’s gotten herself
into a sticky situation. That’s why when Bones shows up at her friend Denise’s
wedding, she has a full on panic attack. He’s been hunting her down for years.
He’s angry with her for leaving him, but he still wants her. What’s a girl to
do?
At the end of Halfway
to the Grave I was angry with Frost. I think in my review for that book I
stated that why did author feel the need to split up the main couple of a
series at the end of the first book or during the second? So when I started
this book I was a little skeptical as to how this was going to go. I wasn’t
expecting Frost to jump four years, but I’m kind of glad she did. The time jump
allowed for Cat to already be ingrained in her new life and when Bones finally
showed up it also allowed for the much loved sexual tension that I adored in
the last book. On top of the sexual tension there was also the intrigue that
one of the vampires in Ian’s line is Cat’s father, who also turns out to be Don’s
– the head of Cat’s team – brother. Family reunion much?
Final Rating: 5 out of 5 stars. I didn’t think it was
possible for me to love a second book more than the first in a series, but this
book proved me wrong. The relationship between Bones and Cat still makes me
swoon, add in characters like Tate and Annette and I’m just in adoration.
