You can run from the grave, but you can't hide . . .
Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. She's still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her, but when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind.
Being around him awakens all her emotions, from the adrenaline kick of slaying vamps side by side to the reckless passion that consumed them. But a price on her head—wanted: dead or half-alive—means her survival depends on teaming up with Bones. And no matter how hard she tries to keep things professional between them, she'll find that desire lasts forever . . . and that Bones won't let her get away again.

Book 2 of the Night Huntress series sees Cat starting out alone at the Special Division hunting vampires. Without Bones. And considering getting her life back in order just when Bones is back.

Cat has a bounty on her head; Ian - who is Bones' Sire and her father Max's too, wants to add her to his collection of rare artifacts; a new family member for Cat; Bone's ex-lovers and colourful past; and her mother to contend with, among other things happening in this book. And a vampire wedding as well.

I loved this book, although at some instances i did think that Cat was a blithering idiot with Bones the only saving grace and ray of common sense in her life. She's fine when it comes to decisions with Don and her men and her operations, but with everything else Frost makes her out into someone whose brain has taken a vacation. Then Cat is either petty or a twelve year old kid complaining about a lost toy. Her using the gin to confront most situations doesn't add to her maturity either. That said, Cat's lines are still entertaining.

The conversations between Bones and Justina make good reading, i love how they're at each others throats

As the previous book, the one thing that makes this a refreshing read that i will be coming back to quite often is Bones. Can't get enough.
