This is the heartwrenching, hearwarming, hilarious, tragic story of a woman dealing with the loss of her husband to cancer. I laughed, I sobbed. I completely and utterly related to this woman and can only imagine I would be not so different if such a tragedy were to happen to me.

** spoiler alert ** WOW WOW WOW! I am absolutely in love with this book, the series and Cat & Bones!! Once I started reading Halfway to the Grave, I just couldn't stop!! The books follows Cat, who was conceived from her mother being raped by a vampire, and she is a halfblood vampire. She spends her weekends attracting vampires at bars and killing them when they least expect it. She meets Bones <3, at a bar and the table turns and he takes her back to his cave, believing she has been sent after him. Instead of killing her Bones enlists Cat's help to bring down the bad vampires he is hunting. Hennessey, a vamp, is operating a deadly business of taking girls and selling them for food to vamps. Bones & Cat set out to bring down him and everyone involved down and stop the trading. Bones & Cat fall hard for each other throughout the book. Bones is very forthcoming about his love for Cat, but Cat has been brought up to believe that vampires are evil and denys that she can truely love him. Further in the book she realises just how much she loves Bones and how he is filled her life with happiness. After a big show down bringing down Hennessey and his vamps, Cat is arrested and in hospital. A special branch of the FBI offer her the chance to be an agent for them, they deal with paranormal beings. To ensure her mother's safety from all the vamps that will now we after her as a result of killing Hennessey, Cat has to leave Bones behind to keep everyone safe. The ending was so sad, I hate the thought of them being apart, I can not wait for the next book. This book as absolutely fantastic if you are reading this review, and haven't read the book, get off your computer and get to the bookshop!!!

Can I acknowledge this book’s many flaws and still say that I loved it all the same? I thought the first half of the book, pre-shipwreck, was stronger than the second half. It was more epic in scope as well, with three-toed sloths, and zoos, and alpha males, and curries, and childhood anxieties, all thrown in with a little religion and politics. I loved Richard Parker, just as Pi learned to and I also depended on him to keep the story real, even in the face of French chefs, teeth fruit, and meerkats. I didn’t always agree with the narrator’s insistency that zoos were a place an animal could feel at home (remember the swaying Polar Bear and the Gorilla eating its own vomit at Como, Mara?) or that only psychology and dominance – not abuse – goes into the training of circus animals, and I did not always agree with the author’s plot choices, but it did not keep me from enjoying the tense yet gentle story or the beautiful, clear writing. Since I read the book, Richard Parker has haunted me, too. Recommended by my boyfriend.
