Halfway to the Grave (Night Huntress, #1)

The Night Huntress Series

I LOVE THIS SERIES!

It's definitely in my top 5 of all time. I adore the characters, the story, the witty humor, the well written love scenes - all of it!

There are 6 books in the Night Huntress Series + a spin off series (Night Huntress World) with 2 books AND AND AND Once Burned, the first book in the new spin off series (Night Prince) comes out June 26, which is TOMORROW!! I can NOT wait!!! I'm so excited (can you tell from all the exclamation points?)

Once Burned's male vampire lead is Vlad. Vlad is a side character in the Night Huntress series who I could love for his humor alone, but of course, he's hot hot hot (literally, he controls fire!)

"Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all—but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula." -editorial description of Vlad

Here is my favorite Vlad quote. It makes me laugh out loud every time I think of it!

“Much slower, I turned around to see Vlad examining his fingernails, as if his hands weren't still ablaze in the flames that had blasted the ghoul's head off moments before.
'what the hell was that?' I gasped.

'Premature inflammation,' He replied. 'Happens sometimes. Very embarrassing, I don't like to talk about it.' ”

― Jeaniene Frost, This Side of the Grave

Ah, but you can't start with Once Burned to fully enjoy what the brilliant author, Jeaniene Frost, has created for us. Well you can, but why? Why would you deny yourself the full pleasure of starting from the beginning and savoring every moment of this outstanding 9-book story?

So start with Halfway to the Grave, and start it soon! Cat will intrigue you and Bones will sweep you off your feet....

Halfway to the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Audiobook Finished 5/26/10

Just what I wanted: Laugh out loud funny, steamy sex, a good vs. evil battle, a sarcastic-heroic-kickass leading lady, and a super-sexy male lead. Perfect. The only criticism I have is for the narrator's portrayal of Bones (the male lead). She did not pull off sexy Englishman at all. But I was able to look past it and I'm head over heals for Bones! He might just be the hottest male vampire ever! (My apologies to Edward, Eric, Bill, Jasper......)

*update - the narrator's portrayal of Bones gets better, or my imagination over rode what originally bothered me about it.
