From the New York Times bestselling author of the Night Huntress series comes a thrilling new look at the iconic origin story of Cat and Bones, as experienced by Bones…from the other half of the grave.
There are two sides to every story–and the sizzling British alpha vampire, Bones, has a lot to say…
Ever wondered what Bones was thinking and feeling when he and half-vampire Cat Crawfield first met? Or how their story might differ if he were the one telling it? Now, relive the beginning of Cat and Bones' bestselling love story through Bones' point of view, which reveals a darker, sexier take on their early days, as well as a deeper dive into Bones' past, the vampire world, and other things that Cat didn't see when their story was told only through her eyes in Halfway to the Grave.
Cat had her say. Now, it's Bones' turn.
Having read Halfway to the Grave, YEARS ago, and quickly configuring Cat and Bones into my top favorite book couples, I absolutely had no hesitancy in reading The Other Half of the Grave which is just Halfway to the Grave from Bones’ perspective.
Oh. My. Goodness. Y’all. Bones… Just when I didn’t think he could get any better.
I remember re-reading HthG awhile back and seeing that Jeaniene Frost didn’t really want to do a book from Bones’ perspective because she was afraid that it would take away from his character in some way… Well, she needn’t worry. Because Bones is better than ever.
Reading about how he fell in love with Cat, how he felt about her from the beginning was just biggest book treat of the year so far. Bones just has so many layers to him and his love for Cat has always been a pleasure to read for me. To see how it all happened was just amazing.
We also get to see some of my favorite moments in this series reimagined in that Bones’ view of things is sometimes quite different than how Cat saw them. It just added so much more to the story.
If you are a Cat and Bones fan–or even if you aren’t (why wouldn’t you be?!)–you need to read this book and fall in love with this great book couple.

I really love this series–but, I’ve loved vampire books since I was pretty young–mostly when it was just L.J. Smith and Anne Rice. 🙂
