Product Description
You can run from the grave, but you can't hide . . . Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. She's still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her, but when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind. Being around him awakens all her emotions, from the adrenaline kick of slaying vamps side by side to the reckless passion that consumed them. But a price on her head—wanted: dead or half-alive—means her survival depends on teaming up with Bones. And no matter how hard she tries to keep things professional between them, she'll find that desire lasts forever . . . and that Bones won't let her get away again.

 Blushingly delightful August 18, 2008
I admit, I read the first book yesterday and I posted a review saying a was a little bummed with the ending, then downloaded the second one.
I was VERY happy with the second book overall. Still very funny, more steamy, lots of action and a good ending! I look forward to the next book and the chat that will happen with her mother...
 Better than the first August 17, 2008
I liked this book more than the first book "Halfway to the Grave" but in this series it makes sense to read the books in order. I don't think the chemestry between Cat and Bones would come across if you skip the first book.
It's four years later and Cat still works for this government agency traking down vampires with her team. Than someone tries to kill her and she accidently runs into Bones at a wedding. She is still not over him and he is also pretty much the only one that can keep her safe from the person who tries to kill her.
I thought this books was a lot darker and even more violent than the first one. Halfway to the Grave had some pretty bloody scenes in it as well but some of the scenes in One Foot in the Grave are straight horror movie material. I also thought that Cat was a lot more aggressive. She got so easily pissed off no matter what anyone said and in some situations I just didn't understand what her deal was
However, I loved how Bones and Cat got on with their relationship I loved that they didn't let anyone get in between them. I also liked that there is a lot more about that whole vampire world and there is also a side plot with a Ghoul involved that I liked. I definitely will read the third book in this series as well but I hope that Jeaniene Frost will involve the side characters a little more (maybe a love story with one of Cat's team members since Bones and Cat are rock solid now).
A great book... August 14, 2008
A realistic setting, fast action, believable romance, cool vampires, fascinating characters, a grand plot and lots of gore. A thriller, mixed with a vampire novel mixed with an adult love story. The background information on the characters is so perfectly slipped into the flow of the story that there was no slow down of the action. It was never bland, boring and there was never a cliche. That I noticed. A book so great that I would compare it to the works of Anne Rice and Kim Harrison. Even a sexy cover.
It was so good it took me a few days after finishing it to realize that it was Book 2 in the series. It was THAT good. I've already grabbed the first book and can't wait to read it.
If you plan to buy one vampire novel anytime in the next year, this should be it. Get it. Used, new, from the library, whatever. Just GET it.
Very Good Read! August 12, 2008
I didnt read the first book in this series. I probably should have, though, but I didnt. The back cover doesnt do it justice. It gives you a vague sense of whats supposed to happen, but there is alot more to the story than what it actually says. This girl is the Red Reaper...the one and only bogeyman of the undead. Its a great story and I recommend it to anyone interested in this type of genre.
Excellent book! July 26, 2008
This was a great read. Cat has grown as a person and has come to accept herself and Bones. I love the direction the book is taking. I liked this ending better than the ending in book one. I'm so glad the truth is revealed in regards to Cat's conception. Can't wait to see what the future holds for Bones and Cat.
