New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author

As I mentioned last week, for amusement – and perhaps some nostalgia –  I re-wrote Cat and Bones’s first meeting from Bones’s point of view (if you haven’t read it yet, it’s HERE.) Then I posted it, thinking, “The handful of readers who still remember this book might enjoy this.” 

Over five hundred of you left comments across my social media pages saying the equivalent of “MORE!” For comparison, I normally get only a few comments per blog post. I can’t tell you how touched I was reading them. After seven novels, two novellas and a book-size outtakes collection, I was pretty sure that readers had had enough of Cat and Bones. Looks like more than a few of you would disagree :). Group hug, Night Huntress fans! And, as you requested, here’s more.

ETA: The previous unrevised, unedited chapters have been taken down. You can read an extended excerpt from THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE here. (link: https://www.jeanienefrost.com/books/the-other-half-of-the-grave/)

THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE releases April 26th. Order yours at #Ad Amazon, B&N, Apple Books, Kobo, or your favorite retailer.

  7. oy oy oy…I KNOW you HAVE to finish writing your other book, but this is more of a tease than anything…PLEASE set time in your calendar to continue this…I HAVE to have more from this perspective… Saddes me when I read the last word and then know I have to wait (hopefully) for more!!!!

  9. I’m fairly new to the Kat & Bones bandwagon…within the past 18 months or so (4/2018)…but they have quickly rose to be one of my favorites!! Thank you for giving a little more of their story!

  16. OMG! Thanks so much for this. If you were to do a version of Halfway to the Grave from Bone’s perspective it would be so awesome and an automatic buy for me.

  17. Omg I SO LOVE this!! Please please PLEASE KEEP GOING!!!! I will never get enough of Cat and Bones and to be able to get his POV is awesome!!! I have yet to find another series that tops their story (and all the spinoffs) and your amazing writing. ❤️❤️❤️ Still praying that one day the entire series will be published in hardcover. 😉🙏🏻🙏🏻

  40. And there you have it. I am reinvigorated to read the entire series again for what could possibly be my 10th time. I’ve lost tract through the years. It would be so awesome if it were picked up by HBO or some other network. This would be amazing on the screen!

  58. Okay… I’m convinced that I want the whole book in bones’ point of view! And the next book too! I love all of your books, but these characters are my favorites!

  62. Thank you! I hope that brief interlude helped get the juices flowing for the rest of your contracted book.
    (…but it would be super awesome if you did decide to do more from Bones’ POV at some point!)

  73. I need more like the hole book I wanna know bones thought when he realizes cat is not human and when he falls in love. Also would die for vlad’s POV as well I’m curious what was going there his mind. But I beg you more for bones and cat with bones POV

  78. I’ve been dying for a Bones POV book for ages; thank you so much for doing this! I desperately hope that one day you’ll do the entire first book (if not more, if I dare to dream) from his POV. I’d buy the entire series all over again just for that! I love all your books, but Cat and Bones have a special place in my heart. 🙂

  79. This is so amazing! Bones’ POV is more fabulous than I could have ever imagined! Also, this is making me want to reread the entire series again.

    • We could never get tired of Cat and Bones!! My favorite book series for the past 10 years!! Keep it coming! ❤️

  86. Amazing! It brought me back to the first time I met Cat and Bones, almost 10 years ago! I have read and listened to the series so many times, but i may have to have another reunion with my favorite power couple! Thank you again for this! Hope you do more!

  87. The first vampire couple that I’ve never been able to shake! The interrogation scene…the first glimpse of Bones finally falling in love after centuries of lust??? Yes, please!

    However, when it comes to ALL of your characters, I’m more greedy than a fat girl eating cake. I gotta have more Jeaniene!! 😂😍

    Such a talented author you are. Thank you for bringing a world of so many amazing characters and adventures to life. Well done ❤️

  88. Omgee I cant believe I came across this gem. Bones’ POV. I really really want to know what bones was thinking when he first beheld Cats green eyes. I’ve always imagined that that was the moment he actually fell in love with her. You write fantastic stories and I basically drool over all the snippets you post from your Night Rebel. Thank you so much.

  91. Geez. Leave me wanting more. Guess i need to go back and reread this much loved series. I realized I miss it soooo much.

  92. I LOVE IT!!! (I use lots of punctuation marks too 😉) I can’t wait for more! Btw, what grammar and/or spelling errors? Lol You are amazing and look forward to you’re next masterpiece! ❤

  93. I love reading everything you write. Reading from Bones’s POV is a wonderful treat. It makes me realize how much I miss Bones and Cat.

  94. As they say, there are always two sides to every story, and it’s so interesting to get the other side of Bones and Cat. <3

  96. Thanks for this and more please!!!!!!!! It’s a good thing a have the series because now I will be rereading it!!!!!

  97. I absolutely love Cat and Bones. I would love to read all of the books from his perspective!!

  98. Hi, I love reading bones’ POV, thank you so much, cant wait for the next chapters to follow.

    • I have read this series at least 10 times. It is my all time favorite series. And to get it from Bones POV. I can’t get enough. Please finish writing the rest of the series from Bones POV.

      • Me too! Couldn’t believe it when I saw this today! By aren’t we blogging about them again? This is def my top 2 vampire series! Love Bones & Cat and all other characters. Wish she’d come back w more!

    • Omg. What a gift. I’m rereading whole series for the 5th time and clicked here to see if you had new novels on Cat & Bones.. and saw this! Please continue your series? Please? Specially this from Bones POV! Blogs still have them as top 5 Best Vampire series ! You wouldn’t believe how many of us still hope to see them back!! All of them! Thank You for this gift and please continue all of it. They’re still beloved!

    • Please continue this POV. Your books have given me one of my all-time favorite couples – can never have too much of Bones and Cat!

  102. Omg I loved these series!! I might have to go back and re-read them!! Bones is my favorite character!!

  105. I love Cat and Bones and would love more! Wish you would continue from their last book. I know they have cameo appearances in other books but as far as I’m concerned, it’s not nearly enough. Thank you for write this from Bones’ perspective. Can’t wait for more!

  106. More PLEASE!!!
    Please do another book, on Bones and Cat.
    Better still, PLEASE continue their series..
    Wish this was a book I could read. I really am loving from Bones perspective.

  108. It’s so good! I love Bones. It’s great to hear his side. Poor Cat, thrown off her game. Can’t wait to read more. I appreciate you sharing this. I have read alllll of your other books. Multiple times.

  110. I was amazed at your comment. Handful of people remember cat & bones! That’s funny. These two are a favorite. Rank right up there with those other vampires who’s writer is from Ohio. You know the “brotherhood” who has the king, dragon, sadist, cop, half blooded queen etc. I love cat & bones and so does everyone else I know.

  112. Going to reread the series, especially the first book, so I can switch back and forth between Cat’s story and Bones’ story. This is definitely awesome! Thank you Jeaniene!

  113. I hold out hope that maybe one day you’ll write more Bones and Cat. Hence why I keep re-reading all these and the books 😂

  114. I occasionally come back here and re- read the chapters written from Bone’ s POV.So funny,snarky and GOOD.Thank you for giving us more Bones and Cat( or Kitten,lol)

  115. ALL HOLY CHRIST …. I AM DEAD … !!!!! GOD I LOOOOOOVE THIS SOOOO MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! <33333

Trackbacks

  1. […] Expect the new chapter next week, and every chapter once a week after that. I’m not specifying a particular day because I’m juggling a lot of things, plus I’m migraine-prone, so I never know when one will lay me out. However, I mentioned the twelve-year anniversary of Cat and Bones’s first book, didn’t I? *grins* That’s your hint as to when the next chapter will drop next week. In the meantime, if you haven’t read the first two chapters yet, they’re HERE and HERE. […]
