Halfway to the Grave by

My rating:
3.5 of 5 stars
This paranormal romance leans heavily to the romance side with a solid enemies-to-lovers trope. The main character, Cat, is a half-vampire with a serious chip on her shoulder. She's inherited a deep hatred of vampires (and therefore herself) from her human family, so she hunts vampires to try to make up for the fact that she exists. Enter Bones, a vampire who also hunts other vampires, but he does it for very different reasons.
Forced into close proximity, Cat begins to realize that maybe not all vampires are evil. As she grows closer to Bones, she also starts to cut herself a little more slack. Having another person accept her, even if he is a blood-sucking vampire, helps her accept herself. But, or course, things can't go that smoothly. She still has a vampire-hating mother and a couple of bible-thumping grandparents to contend with.
