Cat Crawfield is a HalfVampire who hunts her father's kind in order to avenge her mother's rape. Then she meets Bones, a vampire bounty hunter who offers to train her in exchange for her help hunting down a particularly evil group of vampire criminals. Cat agrees, on the basis that the enemy of her enemy is the lesser of two evils, but the longer she knows Bones, the more she begins to question her closely-held belief that ''all'' vampires are evil.

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In ''Into the Fire'', Leila has been bound to Mircea so that if either dies, the other dies, so a shadowy group abducts Mircea and threatens to kill Leila unless Vlad kills Mencheres. When Mencheres realizes that Vlad didn't tell him about this in case he ended up with no choice but to go through with it, he's naturally upset.

Added DiffLines:

* ExactWords:
** In ''Halfway to the Grave'', Bones shakes down a murderous, rapist vampire for information, promising not to kill him in exchange for cooperation. However, Cat didn't promise not to kill him.
** In ''This Side of the Grave'', Vlad is about to execute an enemy ghoul who gave no useful information they didn't already know. Cat tells Vlad, "He's done his best to tell you all he knows, so ''you'' need to let him go." Vlad opens his mouth to argue before he catches the emphasis and cheerfully complies. When the ghoul tries to leave, Cat kills him.
** Bones makes this work for him, because he's built a reputation for doing exactly what he says he'll do. When he threatens to, for example, rip off your stones and feed them to you, he isn't using hyperbole; he means he will literally do just that, which makes his threats especially effective. Conversely, he's trusted to honor any bargain he makes to the letter.

* HybridMonster - an idea that makes the supernatural world crazy is that Cat could potentially become a ghoul and then have both ghoulish and vampire powers. [[spoiler: She decides not to do this, but her genetically engineered daughter Katie doesn't get the option, and becomes the first ghoul/vampire hybrid child.]]

* IHateYouVampireDad - After Ian became a vampire, he gave his three best friends the gift of immortality by turning them into vampires, two of them against their will. Two hundred years later, the two are still a bit sore about it but are generally civil, though in the third book Bones finally thanks Ian. And, of course, Cat's literal vampire dad is an asshole in oh, so many ways.

An UrbanFantasy series of books written by Jeaniene Frost, following the adventures of Catherine "Cat" Crawfield, a half-vampire, and Crispin "Bones" Russell, a Master vampire and bounty hunter. These books are told from Cat's point of view. The ''Night Huntress World'' books are set in the same universe, but feature supporting characters in the main roles. The ''Night Prince'' series is a spinoff featuring a new main character, Leila Dalton, a human with control of electricity and the power of psychometry. Vlad Tepesh (do NOT call him Dracula) is her love interest. Following that is the ''Night Rebel'' spinoff, with ancient vampire Veritas as the main character and Bones' friend and sire Ian as her love interest.
