The Other Half of the GraveOmg！ I just loved this series so much that now that we got to read Bone's side of the story it was absolutely amazing。 The excitement， the danger， the steamy sex scenes are exactly what Bones and Cat are made of。 Their love and devotion to each other are the foundation of their relationship。 Loved it！！ The Other Half of the GraveOmg！ I just loved this series so much that now that we got to read Bone's side of the story it was absolutely amazing。 The excitement， the danger， the steamy sex scenes are exactly what Bones and Cat are made of。 Their love and devotion to each other are the foundation of their relationship。 Loved it！！ 。。。more

This is the best case of book-rewritten-from-male-mc-pov i have ever seen。 Bones is， well， one of my favorites （as are this series， this verse， the cast of characters and the worldbuilding too） and his pov adds so much more to the already great story。。。 I'd say this book made me fall back in love with them， but i never really stopped loving them， so。。。Although I think we deserve Bones in his iconic denim jacket instead of this quite meh cover。 This is the best case of book-rewritten-from-male-mc-pov i have ever seen。 Bones is， well， one of my favorites （as are this series， this verse， the cast of characters and the worldbuilding too） and his pov adds so much more to the already great story。。。 I'd say this book made me fall back in love with them， but i never really stopped loving them， so。。。Although I think we deserve Bones in his iconic denim jacket instead of this quite meh cover。 。。。more

360 pages of repeat， and this was just book 1， from the series， yep suber boring， even though it was from bones side of the story， it was still a repeat， and boring and dragging。 Maybe the author， should cut about 200 pages of the book， then it would be readable。

Loved loved Bone’s side of the story。 I honestly hope we get more books from his point of view。 It completely changed how I viewed Bones。 Although one of my favourite characters， it was so great seeing the depths he developed during this book。 Please please Ms Frost…。。I want more 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Great to see Bones's sideObviously， this book holds no surprises when it comes to the plot。 A lot of his emotions weren't even a surprise。 I think the best part was seeing his motivation as he trained Cat in the beginning。 He seemed like a jerk to some degree in the original book but this book shows how it was an act and he treated her the way he felt he needed to in order to keep her from running。 The blurb， or perhaps the forward， stated this showed their early years， so I thought it might tak Great to see Bones's sideObviously， this book holds no surprises when it comes to the plot。 A lot of his emotions weren't even a surprise。 I think the best part was seeing his motivation as he trained Cat in the beginning。 He seemed like a jerk to some degree in the original book but this book shows how it was an act and he treated her the way he felt he needed to in order to keep her from running。 The blurb， or perhaps the forward， stated this showed their early years， so I thought it might take us through more than one of the books but this is a complete retelling of the first book。 Quite honestly， there were some portions I would have been good with skipping。 I didn't care to relive the battle with Hennessey's men。 Or the whole investigation into him and his organization。 Cat and Bones comprise my all time favorite fictional couple。 One of the parts that almost gives me chills is when Cat is at her uncle's literal death bed several books into the series and just the sound of Bones's boots in the hallway coming toward her bring her comfort。 The depth of their bond is so inspiring。 I don't think many people find that， which helps books sell。 I do absolutely recommend reading this retelling of the first book from Bones's POV。 。。。more

This book was amazing！ It was a new look at the start of the cat and bones we all know and love。 Not only that but we got to know bones deeper。 Much anticipated so worth it。

I loved this book。 I love these characters。 I need more of them and their world。 I wish Ms。 Frost would continue the series in Bones' POV。 Hearing the story from him was wonderful and made me realize how much I miss these characters。The audio book was really good also。 I thought I'd listen to it while driving in the car and then read the book once I was at home but the audio was so good， I couldn't stop listening。 Praying to all the Gods Jeaniene Frost writes more Bones' POV books！ I loved this book。 I love these characters。 I need more of them and their world。 I wish Ms。 Frost would continue the series in Bones' POV。 Hearing the story from him was wonderful and made me realize how much I miss these characters。The audio book was really good also。 I thought I'd listen to it while driving in the car and then read the book once I was at home but the audio was so good， I couldn't stop listening。 Praying to all the Gods Jeaniene Frost writes more Bones' POV books！ 。。。more

sighI loovveeedddd reading Bones view and in that alone I want to give it five stars but at times the repeated scenes were boring I hate to say。 I loved all his thoughts and new tidbits and scenes but when we were just replaying them talking thru scenes we read it was like repeat。 I would have loved some new scenes between them。 Or more depth to his 4 and 1/2 year search for her。 But overall still awesome。

A big thank you to NetGalley and NYLA for the ARC。 I am voluntarily reviewing this book。 This is part of a series， but I felt it read well as a stand alone。 You are given just enough background。 This is written from Bone's perspective。 I enjoyed this to see things from Bone's side。 4 stars A big thank you to NetGalley and NYLA for the ARC。 I am voluntarily reviewing this book。 This is part of a series， but I felt it read well as a stand alone。 You are given just enough background。 This is written from Bone's perspective。 I enjoyed this to see things from Bone's side。 4 stars 。。。more

Absolutely Amazing！Wow！I have been waiting for this book for so long and it did not disappoint。 It made me fall deeper in love with the character of Bones。 His love for Cat is everything。 This has sparked a reread of the whole series now and I can not wait！

"Anyone who’s been in a relationship knows that couples can have two versions of the same incident， and both will swear that their version is correct。 Such is the case with how Bones remembers things versus how Cat did。 Hey， I’m not going to tell Bones that he’s wrong。 This is his story， and he’s sticking to it。 —Jeaniene Frost" "Anyone who’s been in a relationship knows that couples can have two versions of the same incident， and both will swear that their version is correct。 Such is the case with how Bones remembers things versus how Cat did。 Hey， I’m not going to tell Bones that he’s wrong。 This is his story， and he’s sticking to it。 —Jeaniene Frost" 。。。more

Better than the original told from Cat’s POVThere were many times I cringed reading the original story told from Cat’s POV due to melodramatic or immature things she said or thought， and sometimes I wondered why on earth this centuries-old vampire would be interested in her。 Now it all makes sense。

To read Bone's story in his own words was such a thrill。 After reading the original series for many years， I did miss reading Cat and Bone's story。 Cat and Bone are one of my favorite fictional couples。 Bone's devotion and love for Cat is unmatched and it touched my heart。 The vampires Bones and Cat work together in harmony to exterminate vampires who have murdered。Thank you to Netgalley and The publisher for the ARC of this book。 This was an honest review。 To read Bone's story in his own words was such a thrill。 After reading the original series for many years， I did miss reading Cat and Bone's story。 Cat and Bone are one of my favorite fictional couples。 Bone's devotion and love for Cat is unmatched and it touched my heart。 The vampires Bones and Cat work together in harmony to exterminate vampires who have murdered。Thank you to Netgalley and The publisher for the ARC of this book。 This was an honest review。 。。。more

the Grave in the male POV。 I *think* you can read this first， but you will want to continue the series， as this does not stand alone。 Paranormal Romance。affiliate linksBack in 2008/2009， I was reading all the paranormal romance I could get my hands on， but The Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost stood out as my favorite， and it is the only paranormal series that I have continued since then。 Though I’ve kept up with Cat and Bones through their friends' stories， it had been a long while since I re-read the first book in the series， Halfway to the Grave。I had intended to do a re-read before The Other Half of the Grave released， but I decided to enjoy it like a new story instead of picking it apart with comparisons。 I am SO GLAD I did it that way。 There was a lot I didn’t remember， and since it’s the same story from Bones’s POV there were plenty of scenes that were the same events， but we get to hear them from Bones’s mind。There were also plenty of scenes that were completely new， and it was cool getting to see what Bones was up to when he was away from Cat。 Since we can’t see how much Cat actually likes Bones in this， her stubbornness and vampire hatred sometimes got a little frustrating to read about， I just wanted to shake her， because I knew how amazing Bones is now。 “Yes， she was fantasizing about ripping both of her weapons through his heart while he was feeling things he’d only heard of before， but who said romance was perfect？” I can’t tell you how much fun I had coming back to this world。 As soon as I finished I wanted to jump right to One Foot In The Grave （Night Huntress Book 2） to find out what happens， but I also now wanted to listen to the original from the OG POV， Cat’s。 So in the end， I bought Halfway to the Grave on audio then jumped right into One Foot In The Grave。Now I am re-listening to the whole series， and let me tell you， its spot at the top of my favorites list is well-deserved。 If I was reading it for the first time today the series would still jump right to the top of my favorites list with everything I love: Action/adventure， romance， characters I want to be friends with， amazing banter， funny moments， and hot sex。 “I love you， Bones。” Light exploded through him。 He’d never known joy could detonate like a bomb， but it did， and it filled his whole soul。” I usually do Likes and Dislikes here， but I literally loved every word。 I admit it， I am completely biased because I will take any scraps of Bones and Cat that I can get， and I’m thrilled to say that they did not disappoint。 I am so happy to start the series again and be back in the Night Huntress world， that I may just have to get the whole series and all its spinoffs on audio and re-listen to it all。 The *only* thing I would have liked more is if it was first-person in Bones's head。One note: Jeaniene Frost updated some elements of the story。 Beepers were replaced by cell phones and some more current references were added （like comparing Rodney to Ted Lasso）。The Down & Dirty: The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost was everything I could have dreamed of。 I was nervous， because I've read a few other books that totally changed my opinion of the hero after reading their pov （and not in a good way）。 I was glad I went into this without a recent re-read of Halfway to the Grave （until after） because I wasn't comparing the two， and The Other Half of the Grave felt fresh and new。 I loved reading this almost as much as I loved reading the first book so many years ago， and that's saying a lot， because I have read thousands of books since， and it still remains a favorite。 If you are a fan of Cat and Bones， or you just want to start a new series， I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave。Rating: 5 Stars， 4。5 heat Purchase The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost Audible is a $3。49 Upgrade There are spin-off series about other characters that intersect with the main series。 Personally， I would recommend reading the first two in the original Night Huntress Series before reading The Other Half of the Grave because there is a book 2 spoiler at the end。 The Base Night Huntress Series is listed here。 But the entire Night Huntress World reading order is HERE。 I received a free copy of this book from the publisher and Netgalley in exchange for an honest review。Visit anasattic。com for daily audiobook and book releases sales，

One of my favourite vampire series is the Night Huntress Series by Jeaniene Frost so to have the chance to delve into the world once again but by a different perspective （Bones） was a ton of fun！ I don’t usually read single male POVs either but Bones kept me hooked from start to finish。 So happy that Jeaniene decided to share this story， definitely recommend！

I love the night huntress series， and I really like Ian and parts of his journey。 But this book is a waste of time， prove the Jeaniene lost her touch。 Is like she can write nothing new to attract readers， so she keep getting back to this world， these characters。 I wish she left Cat and Bones alone， or at least write something we want， like Kate history。

Please Don’t Stop！ This was amazing！ Please don’t stop writing about Bones and Cat。 I fell in love with their story from the very first page all those years ago。 I love it from Bones’s point of view too。 If you keep writing， I’ll keep reading！ So， hands in a prayer position， please don’t stop！

Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress Series is amazing， following Cat and Bones throughout has been more than a treat - but this， this novel is from Bones' perspective - and it is a refreshing and different insight into the beginning of Cat and Bones' relationship。In the first book of this series， "Halfway to the Grave，" we learned from Cat's perspective of her unique abilities and foray into the role of the 'Night Huntress' - from Cat we heard about her life， her insecurities， her difficult childhoo Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress Series is amazing， following Cat and Bones throughout has been more than a treat - but this， this novel is from Bones' perspective - and it is a refreshing and different insight into the beginning of Cat and Bones' relationship。In the first book of this series， "Halfway to the Grave，" we learned from Cat's perspective of her unique abilities and foray into the role of the 'Night Huntress' - from Cat we heard about her life， her insecurities， her difficult childhood and how she evolved until she met Bones。 Then everything changed。"The Other Half of the Grave" is the unique insight of that same timeline， only from the perspective of Bones， an extremely old and gifted vampire。 Bones has already evolved into who he is and now the reader is given Bones' insights into the beginnings of his and Cat's relationship， the wisdom that he shares， and his attraction and respect for Cat。 They could not be more different， yet perfect for each other。It is a real gift to be able to read this perspective in this amazing series - and after having read the series this addition is really worth your time to read。 。。。more
