Early Review: 5 Stars for The Other Half of the Grave(Night Huntress #9) by Jeaniene Frost

THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE

Available April 26th, 2022

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Night Huntress series, 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. It’s Bones’ turn.

“Even if you’ve never read any of the other books in Frost’s sexy, action-packed series (think Buffy the Vampire Slayer for Anne Rice fans), this darker, even sexier reboot is a perfect starting point.” Apple Books. Voted on the “Best Books of April” on Apple Books.

 What I thought about The Other Half of the Grave

I'm generally not a big reader of alternate POV from published material -- I've seen it done badly and with too many repetitive scenes and dialogue, so even though I adore this series and Cat and Bones, I was a little hesitant about reading The Other Half of the Grave. I'm happy to say I absolutely loved this book. 

Even though most readers will know this story from reading Cat's version of how she met Bones and the things they got into, Bones' version was fresh and interesting and just as entertaining as Cat's point of view. Maybe it was just that it was a long time since I read Cat's version in Halfway To the Grave, but I really loved reading Bones point of view. There is a reason we all love the Bones, and it's on the pages of this book in spades. (haha)

If you haven't read the original series in Cat's point of view, I definitely recommend reading that first before reading Bones POV. What I found most interesting was reading how Bones processed his feelings, and I've always loved this character for the fact that he does have that one vulnerability -- his love for Cat. That comes through so very well in this book.  I love it when the male character in a romance falls hard and Bones love for Cat just shines through here.

The author does a great job of giving the reader more than just a rehash of the original material. There are some new scenes the reader didn't get in the Cat point of view which made this an all the more worthwhile read

So, I just loved this.  As a longtime fan of the Cat and Bones series, The Other Half of the Grave adds more to the love story that is Cat and Bones. It made me want to re-read the entire series again.  Readers of the series, you're going to want to grab a copy of this. And if you haven't read this exciting paranormal romance series you should get on it.  It's terrific -- one of the best out there, and be sure to pick up a copy of The Other Half of the Grave too!
