You liked how Cat stalks vamps with Bones through clubs and back alleys, then gets pulled into bigger supernatural politics. In Magic Bites, mercenary Kate Daniels cuts through Atlanta’s vampire "pilots" and werecreature turf wars with the same kinetic fights and razor-edged quips you loved when Cat and Bones took down lairs together. If the bar stings, training montages, and bloody showdowns hooked you, Kate’s swordplay and deadpan banter will feel like home.

If Cat and Bones’ combustible chemistry during stake-outs and interrogations grabbed you—think Bones schooling Cat in seduction before a takedown—Elena’s hunter-for-hire dynamic with the lethal archangel Raphael will hit that same nerve. Angels’ Blood pairs high-stakes hunts (rogue immortals, grisly crime scenes) with a slow-building, heated bond that echoes the way Cat’s missions kept intensifying her connection to Bones.

Miss the quips and bite between Cat and Bones—like the bar scene where she lures a vamp while snarking in her head? Charley Davidson’s inner monologue is a nonstop riot as she tackles violent cases and a dangerously sexy, otherworldly man who shadows her. First Grave on the Right nails that blend of laugh-out-loud banter, grisly confrontations, and flirty heat that made Halfway to the Grave so fun.

If you loved Cat’s training arc with Bones—learning to fight, seduce, and survive, all while sparks fly—Mac’s crash course under the enigmatic Jericho Barrons will grip you. Darkfever tracks lessons that are as dangerous as the streets they patrol, much like Cat’s knife-and-seduction drills escalating into real missions. The tension-laced guidance turning into complicated desire mirrors Cat and Bones’ evolution.

Cat’s voice—sharp, determined, and personal—made every ambush and government entanglement feel immediate, especially when she chooses to leave with the agency to protect Bones. In Moon Called, Mercy Thompson narrates with the same intimate urgency while wading into werewolf and vamp power plays, rescue ops, and a slow-burn attraction. If you want that close-quarters, boots-on-the-ground feel with danger and desire in lockstep, this delivers.
