The Other Half of the Grave

October 29, 2019 by Jeaniene 183 Comments

You’ve heard Cat’s side of the story. Now, it’s Bones’ turn…

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’s turn.

Get yours in ebook, print, or audio at #Ad Amazon, B&N, Apple Books, Kobo, or your favorite retailer. 

Read an extended excerpt here. (link: https://www.jeanienefrost.com/books/the-other-half-of-the-grave/) ***

If you’re not familiar with how THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE started, I originally published it as free, partial serial back in 2019, intending it as only a fun glimpse of some early chapters from Bones’s point of view. I never intended to turn it into an entire book, but reader response, plus my own enjoyment, convinced me to finally finish it. 

Will this be out in audio and print, too?

Yes. We are planning on a simultaneous audio release along with the ebook on April 26th, 2022. To match how this story is told exclusively through Bones’ point of view (versus how all the Night Huntress series was told exclusively through Cat’s point of view), we are changing audio narrators to an as-yet-unannounced British male narrator. More soon on that.

Why did you start writing it to begin with? 

Long version here. Short version: In September 2019, I re-wrote the first time Cat and Bones met from Bones’s point of view and posted it in two chapters on my blog. Readers overwhelmingly asked for more, so I took a month’s break from deadlines and wrote 30K more. Then, I had other contracted novels to finish, so I stopped there. Now that I’m caught up on my deadlines, I finished the story, and I’m so excited to share it with you.

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/)

              I’m so glad you did this Jeanine! Cat and Bones courtship is timeless and unique, it’s great to see the effort and the effect that Bones goes through to win Cat’s love. I never tire of reading about their beginning. Thank you for this gift – twice!

            Thank you for this perspective on the beginning of Cat and Bones story. I love your novels and would buy all of the books in the series from Bones perspective I hope you will consider writing them when you have time. I’m waiting for Ian’s third book anxiously and have love this and also all of Vlads series as well. During the quarantine your novels have been a comfort and a help to have read and escaped to the world of these books. Again thank you and hope that you write all the Cat and Bones novels in Bones perspective.

      Sorry, to hear you were sick. Thank you for all you do. Not sure any other authors would do this for their readers. I read the disclaimer and I have to say if you ever considered and I wish you would publish all the books from Bones POV myself and it sounds like tons of other readers would buy them. I love your stories and characters so much that I would love to have full books from Bones POV. All the times he is not with Cat in the story, what did he do? When she left him, how did he feel? What was his emotional state when he went back and destroyed the cave? What did he do to look for her? When he went to Chicago and killed her ex and then met up with Annette what was he thinking? How does he really feel about Annette? Does he believe he was the father of her still born baby is that why he is so kind to her? What was their flashback history together from his POV. So much I really want to know. Would love to see scenes/ flashbacks from bones life that we haven’t seen before to give us more details into his relationships with Spade, Ian, Mencheres, Vald and others. Love your books. I can’t wait to read the next chapter. Thank you and please consider heart felt plea to write these as full on books I can’t wait to buy. Happy New Year!

Like whats diffrent about cats blood now that shes a werid vampire.if she tried to change another person into a vampire what would happen. Would they be like her or would they be a normal vamp or something completely diffrent. What about her daughter? What kind of changes would cat make to the vampire system.

        I started off reading Once Burned on the Chapter App. Then a few chapters into Twice Tempted I couldn’t take only Reading a few chapters a week and then having to wait a week for the next few chapters. It was way too painful. I just had to read them all. I’ve read all of A Night Prince ❤️, Night Rebel (can’t wait for Wicked All Night), and Night Huntress Novels. With the exception of three. Reckoning, One for the Money, and This one. I’m actually on chapter 7 but I just had to tell you that, I had only read one other authors novel that fast. Addicted by Zane and that was, I think, over 10 years ago. Since then I hadn’t found anything that kept me interested long enough to actually finish the whole book. And want more on top of that! I wanted to tell you how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your writing! You’re such an amazing author! And Thank you!

    I personally always wonder what Bones went through at the end of book one when he comes back and Cat is gon. I really hope one day you will have the time to write a chapter about that.

    This is so awesome! Thank you for writing this, I’ve been jonesing for some Cat and Bones. 🙂 If you do ever publish this as a book, which I would definitely buy, you might want to revisit the part where Bones looked through her phone history. In the original book, I don’t think she had a phone, at that point, because after they made love the first time and she went home with hickeys, her grandparents got upset and refused to give her phone messages from Bones. He complained to her about it and suggested she should get a phone of her own. Picky point, I know, but I thought I’d mention it. Can’t wait for the next chapter!!! 🙂

How does Bones handle his jealousy when Cat is out night after night seducing vampires? How does Bones feel when Cat disappears to go work for Don? What’s his story during those 4 years? What’s his POV when she leaves with Vlad Tepesh and charles tells him they answered a call together while in bed?

      Hi, Kelly. There will be new chapters every week through January, but as I wrote in the Q&A, there’s only about 30k of this written. For comparison, Halfway to the Grave was a 105K novel. To do everything you mentioned, I’d have to write four entire books, which would be a little ambitious :). However, I’m so glad you’re enjoying the chapters, and yes, more is on the way.

    The Cat and Bones books are by far my favorite book series of all time (followed closely by the other Night Huntress World book). I usually don’t ever read or post on blogs, so I only found out about the Other Half of the Grave chapters today (I was actually looking for the reading order list so I could start the whole series again for at least the seventh time.) I’m thrilled to see Bones’ perspective. He’s so fantastic. Why can’t all men be like him? I’m glad that you’ve continued with the Ian books, but more Bones and Vlad books will always be welcome.

    Thank you so much for the first 16 chapters. I was reading One Foot In The Grave last night and when Cat returns to their cave and sees it destroyed I thought to myself “I wonder if Jeaniene ever wrote anything from Bones p.o.v” went searching on the internet and found these chapters. I hope One day I get to read about Bones and Rodney returning to the cabin to find Cat gone and how Bones handles that.
    I really love your books. I found Eternal Kiss Of Darkness and First Drop of Crimson in a hospital newsagents in 2018 when I was taking my Dad for his cancer treatments. I read Mencheres book first and then I was hooked.
    I eagerly look forward to Ians next book.

    I started off reading Once Burned on the Chapter App. Then a few chapters into Twice Tempted I couldn’t take only Reading a few chapters a week and then having to wait a week for the next few chapters. It was way too painful. I just had to read them all. I’ve read all of A Night Prince ❤️, Night Rebel (can’t wait for Wicked All Night), and Night Huntress Novels. With the exception of three. Reckoning, One for the Money, and This one. I’m actually on chapter 7 but I just had to tell you that, I had only read one other authors novel that fast. Addicted by Zane and that was, I think, over 10 years ago. Since then I hadn’t found anything that kept me interested long enough to actually finish the whole book. And want more on top of that! I wanted to tell you how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVE your writing! You’re such an amazing author! And Thank you!

    This is just what I always dreamed of! I’ve always loved Bones more than Cat. I’d love to see more inside his head like when he walks in on Cat nearly killing Spade. And what is going through his head when he learns that Cat has been hunting all this time without her underwear! I bet its hilarious! I’d love to experience his pain when he comes back to find that Cat is gone and all he has left of her is her dear, John letter. We experience Cat loosing Bones a few times but never really Bones loosing her. I think I’ll cry if I ever get to read his POV on the times he looses her. I would just like to say thank you Jeaniene Frost for this amazing story and all the others you publish! I’ve reread these series so many times you’d think I couldn’t fall more in love with Bones or cry anymore with Cat at times but I do every single time. Bones will forever be my book boyfriend. And Ian will always be my side hoe.

    P.S. Please write more I beg you!
