One Foot in the Grave (Night Huntress, Book 2)
is a great sequel to the first novel. It starts out four years later. I couldn't believe so much time had gone by, but from the way Cat has been living, I am glad I wasn't there. She seems extremely bitter and not at all like she was in the first book. It goes on that way until Bones comes back into her life. I was literally just waiting for this moment the entire time, so that when it happened I was extremely excited. Thankfully, we aren't kept waiting too long for this moment. It seems as if Cat and Bones are truly made for each other.I wasn't sure it was possible to dislike Cat's mother more, but apparently it is. She is absolutely horrible towards Cat! I couldn't believe the way she was behaving, and was continuously rooting for Bones whenever he antagonized her.
There is one love scene in the book that was pretty risque. However, it wasn't really that bad and it made sense for the characters. I didn't really enjoy it as much as some others seemed to, but at the same time, it was OK. I do feel that it added a lot to the characters, and was there for a reason.
A major thing that this book lacked was more Bones and Cat time. Other than the previously mentioned scene, it seems like there wasn't much time for the couple in this book. I really hope that is different in the next book, since they are now back together.
I have to admit that although I usually don't like really light and fluffy books, I am really enjoying this series tremendously. It manages to be light reading while still being very entertaining and stimulating. It isn't like I have to leave my brain behind while reading this series, which is great for me.
Of course, with Bones and Cat teaming up together again in this book it was a very enjoyable read, and I have already started the next book, At Grave's End (Night Huntress Book 3)
. I made sure to have it for the exact moment when I finished this one, unlike last time. Overall, I give this book an 8 out of 10. I would definitely recommend it to a friend. These books are the some of the most fun novels I may have ever read.
