The second Night Huntress book picks up a few years after the first. Cat’s life is drastically different. Working for the government with a team of commandos behind her is a far cry from preying on lone vamps in dive bars. Her fighting tactics have changed, and she’s taking out vampires that are more dangerous than she has in the past. And then one of them puts a price on her head.

Cat’s team is mostly fun. I feel like Frost fell back on some pretty standard stereotypes with them, but they still meshed together and seemed to really care for Cat. They feel more like a family at times – although I think they all want to sleep with Cat which is a little weird.

Bones was a little jaded after the end of book one – for good reason. I feel like he and Cat jumped back into a serious relationship way too fast. Even with instant-fated-chosen-ones that often go with vampire romances, I feel like he should have been a lot more upset with her wanted to take time to hash out the past.

Frost added a good layer to the world in One Foot in the Grave. I feel things moving along, but I’m still caught up in the moment of each page. I hope Cat’s team can turn away from the stereotypes a little as the story moves along, and I really love the way the vampire society is being built.
