Halfway to the Grave

Night Huntress, Book 1

De: Jeaniene Frost

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

Half-vampire Catherine Crawfield is going after the undead with a vengeance, hoping that one of these deadbeats is her father - the one responsible for ruining her mother's life. Then she's captured by Bones, a vampire bounty hunter, and is forced into an unlikely partnership.

In exchange for help finding her father, Cat agrees to train with the sexy night stalker until her battle reflexes are as sharp as his fangs. She's amazed she doesn't end up as his dinner…are there actually good vampires? Pretty soon, Bones will have her convinced that being half-dead doesn't have to be all bad. But before she can enjoy her status as kick-ass demon hunter, Cat and Bones are pursued by a group of killers. Now Cat will have to choose a side...and Bones is turning out to be as tempting as any man with a heartbeat.

Reseñas de la Crítica

“Take one half-human/half-vampire female with serious anger and parental issues, add in a sexy ancient vampire with his own agenda, and you have the makings for a truly combustible series. Sign me up for the sequel!” (Romantic Times)

Excellent Audio Book

I loved this book and the narrator. Can't wait for the other books in the series to be made into audio books.

Maybe audible should have a section were people could place books that people would like to see on audio and list them so that people can add their votes to existing requests or add new ones.

If you liked this book and are looking for something that is not fluffed out with endless sex, microscopic descriptions of people and their clothing and women that become morons after around self centred, neanderthal males after awhile.

Then i would like to recommend you also listen to Molly Harpers Nice Girl series. If you like kick ass females i suggest you read the Jane Yellow Rock series by Faith Hunter. Both series have more substance that the average Feehan etc novel eg the Dark series

Truly talented writer and narrator!

Would you listen to Halfway to the Grave again? Why?

Yes, I would listen again and I have. I truly love the story of a half-vampire half-human trying to make her way in the world trying to protect humans from the evil vampires.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I liked Cat and how she deals with her strange life in between the human world and the vampire one.

What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

I believe that Tavia Gilbert's voicing of the characters made the book for me. She is a great voice talent.

more of the same trashy fun

A friend of mine recommended this series. If you're looking for another vampire hunting love story then you will probably like this. Unlike some of the genre it doesn't focus on a single murder, but kind of on finding a suspected murderer....kind of. The book isn't really that concerned with the plot, as evidenced by the disappointingly anti-climactic confrontation with Hennesey. Sure there are tons of other plot holes and inconsistencies, but it's not the kind of book that you think too hard about. I would have given the narrator a higher rating, but her voice for Bones just killed it. If you are hoping for a suave accent for the British vampire Bones, be prepared to be disappointed. Bones is saddled with a gratingly cockney accent which would have made the most cliched Dickensian urchin proud. If the next book in the series goes on some great sale I might get it, but I won't be spending a credit on it.

All in the Narrator! Story line counts too. Wow!

Finally! Right Author and right Narrator. Love this book and plan to listen to the others. This is soooooo good! Thanks again audible. Can't wait for Book 7. Hurry, this is addictive!

He's poor english

Would you be willing to try another one of Tavia Gilbert’s performances?

i don't believe so

Did Halfway to the Grave inspire you to do anything?

no

Any additional comments?

just to let you know, i think as fans of this genre, we expect our leading men(the vampire) to be rich and cultured, do not expect that with this leading man. the narrator does use a proper british accent it is just that it is the Cockney accent which is a lower class dialect in london/england. Any one who has seen My Fair Lady knows what i am talking about. And with hero's past it fits is character, i just didn't like the reader's voice at all. completely turned me off could not even finish the story.
