Halfway to the Grave
by Frost, Jeaniene
Cat Crawfield is a half-vampire hunting her own kind, driven by a desperate need for revenge against the father who ruined her life. Her world turns upside down when she is captured by Bones, a sharp-witted, dangerous master vampire who decides to train her instead of killing her. This is a high-octane, unapologetically gritty story that thrives on the friction between its two leads. The pacing is relentless, jumping from brutal supernatural combat to the electric, volatile chemistry simmering between Cat and Bones. It is less about fairy tales and more about survival, power plays, and the messy reality of wanting someone you should probably be fighting. If you prefer your paranormal romance with a heavy dose of sarcasm, blood-spattered action, and a heroine who refuses to be a damsel, this will keep you up all night.
