Halfway To The Grave: Night Huntress #1

Before you start Night Huntress, be aware that there's nothing groundbreaking about the series. You're going to be disappointed if you go into it expecting something fresh. While it may not be a literary work of genius, this series is an example of the best kind of paranormal romance âthe elements that fans of the genre look for are present and well written.The most important goal for a paranormal fantasy is to provide a world that is pure escapism. Frost has written a series that achieves this, while balancing the other elements of the genre carefully. And that's the key to separating the good works from the bad: There must be a balance between the paranormal (in Night Huntress this is in the form of vampires) humor and romance.Unlike epic fantasies, paranormal fantasies don't require the author to provide detailed world building elements, but there needs to be some kind of explanation for the existence of the supernatural. The Night Huntress world is well planned and easy to follow and the action moves is relentless. Once you've started reading, it's difficult to put down.In similar series, romance often gets in the way of the action, but Frost hasn't fallen into this trap. Equally important is that she's created characters that you can care about. In a genre where stereotypes and clichés are par for the course, the more of these series you read, the more difficult it is to separate one character from another. Fortunately, Cat and Bones â the central couple of Night Huntress â stand out. These books are effortless reads. They're fun and quick to get through, with just the right amount of quirk, flirt and dirt.
