    "Halfway to the Grave is a great listen!"

    It is rare to find one of these books that draws their characters so deeply and has such emotion and poignancy. But these qualities are not only available in this particular book but throughout the whole series. If you want a truly great paranormal romance read this is the book for you.

    "Couldn't put it down"

    I loved it. I just wished it was longer. That's why I got a few of the others in the series. I'm glad I'm finding her now. This way I won't have to wait a year for a new one to come out.

    "Love this series!"

    I read this series when it came out and decided to listen to it as well. Like reviewers before me, I initially did not like how the narrator did the voice of Bones. However after about halfway through it no longer bothered me, I do wish it was more masculine though.

    "Favorite book with my favorite narrator!"

    So, I'm in love with Bones. And these are just about my favorite audio books (and I have listened to hundreds!) I listen to this series over and over again, about once every 4-5 months. they never get boring.

    "My kind of killer! Please clone her."
    Would you consider the audio edition of Halfway to the Grave to be better than the print version?

    I wouldn't know.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Kat, well as a male I am very appreciative of Kat's "open mindedness". VERY...


    What does Tavia Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

    I love audio books. I dont have time to stop and read as I'm always on the move. Tavia's reading and acting was perfect. Well done.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    Kat is not a sissy. She has some reservations but she makes quick decisive decisions. I love that.


    Any additional comments?

    Great book. I was just done with the Hallows and very annoyed trying to find the next books to move onto and after much searching I found this. VERY HAPPY with this book and hope the rest is equally as good.

    "Teen fantasy"

    I had high hopes because this series have so many good reviews. I found it to be kind of like a teen series - not really bad but nothing special either. Feels like the kind of book u would make into a tv series like the vampire diaries and it would become very popular but the books would be forgotten.

    "Fun Vampire Read for Young Adults"

    Fun YA vampire story. Great narrator for this book and different voices are consistently assigned to various characters. However, I do agree with other reviewer that Bone's voice can be more manly and sexier. I would read Book2 to find out how Bones came back to Cat's life, and go from there.

    Story
    "If you want Action, Love, Suspense, this is it!"
    Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

    These are not just some silly love story. The author has a way of wrapping love, action and suspense all into one here.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Cat - she is different and that makes her interesting.


    Have you listened to any of Tavia Gilbert’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

    Yes - I couldn't put the books down. There was so much going on in the books that there was never place in the book that I thought "this would be a good stopping point." When they end, you need the next book immediately.


    If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

    I have listened to this entire series that Tavia Gilbert has narrated. I do not like how she does the voice of Bones. He is supposed to sound masculine but instead just sounds like a pansy feminine man. He doesn't even sound tough. He does sound compasonate but for his charecter and the amazing old vampire he is supposed to be... well it just was not there.

    Story
    "Cat and Bones"

    Halfway to the Grave has everything I love in a book. A strong female lead, a sexy bad boy, supernatural creatures, action and intense romance.

    Our heroine is named Cathrine or Cat for short and she is a vampire hunter, who happen to be part vampire. Cat is strong and fearless, but a little quirky and that what I like about her character. Narrator Tavia Gilbert brings her to life and within the first few paragraph I was in love. Cat had been hunting vampire for a while, but when she targets Bones she find her self way out of her league. The sparks fly between the two of them immediately, even if the two themselves doesn't notice it. Bones offers or forces Cat to work for him as a bounty hunter and their partnership begins.

    Cat and Bones interaction through out the book is what made this book fun. Even though Cat has lot of experience seducing vampire she still have trouble keeping a straight face when they start talking dirty to her. There are so many innuendos through out the book, most from Bones. Some even had me blushing.

    All and all, a great start to a great series. Cat and Bones journey is just getting started.

    "Great Story. Favorite Series"
    Would you consider the audio edition of Halfway to the Grave to be better than the print version?

    No. The voice I imagnd was more age appro & we needed a male voice.


    Who was your favorite character and why?

    Cat. That voice was the closest.


    What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

    Again, Cat was good but a male needed 2 do Bones' parts.


    Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

    This book makes me feel all the emotns from joy to sorrow.


    Any additional comments?

    Was truly disappointed not to hear a man as Bones saying, "Kitten"
