Four years after the first installment in Frost's Night Huntress series- Cat is now working for a secret agency within the government that tracks paranormal creatures much like her. At first, coerced into working for the agency to escape a murder rap, Cat is content to lead the crack team placed under her- if only to keep her secrets hidden.

But when a decidedly evil colleague of her former mentor/lover Bones takes an interest in acquiring Cat, one secret is about to make itself known in a big way.

When a hit is put out on Cat, she once again leans on the one man- or vampire- she trusts with all her body and soul. Bones is back and he wants more than the platonic relationship Cat's asking for. Will she be able to deny him as well has her heart's desire?

Bloody and bold as ever, Cat has grown since we last saw her. She leads a team of loyal men against the rogue creatures of the night and, being half-vamp herself, she's good at what she does. She's hidden the fact that Bones is really alive from everyone in hopes of forgetting him, but it hasn't happened in four years and never will. She tries moving on, even dates other men, but nothing will do but Bones. When he comes back into her life she puts up little fight when he makes it clear he still wants her, because, despite the other trustworthy men she now has in her life- he's still the one she can trust above all others. I like that about these two. There is an intimacy between them that spans time and distance and it reeled me in. The plotting is tight in One Foot In The Grave and I liked the menace created by the hunt for Cat- as well as the revelation of her very creation. Cat oozes strength but there is also a vulnerability that makes her likable as well and, in the end, it's the characters Frost's created that make this series a winner.

Excellent addition to the series and looking forward to read the rest! ( )

Cat has gone 4 years without Bones and at her best friend's wedding he happens to be the Best Man. All her emotions come running back to her from that night when he left; along with hit men out for her and Ian is back in town. Everyone is out to get Cat, and all she wants is to be able to keep Bones from working his way back into her life, and into her bed. A lot of things fall into place with Cat's family history, and her job. ( )

It's not a bad series & I'll likely buy the third. Vampire romance is more my daughter's cup of tea than mine, but there's plenty of action & it's an interesting world. ( )

LOVE this book. Cat is a half-vampire killing machine. She was trained by Bones, a master vampire. Bones is also Cat's former lover. She left him to protect him and herself. She has prejudice against vampires, she's a bigot when it comes to vampires. But Bones tracks her down while she's working as a government assigned vampire slayer. She goes back with him, any surprise?
Well great romantic story. Also very funny. I had to read this by myself because i was laughing so hard. High recommend ( )

One of my favorite series. Cat and Bones are glorious. Frost really delivers in this series. I love them all. The world is great, the dialogue is witty, the descriptions and scenes are well written. ( )
