          I can’t even remember how many times I’ve read this series and the other books but I do really like reading it from his perspective!! Especially the scenes where she slept with him and regretted it the next day, love to know exactly how he felt about all that!!

        I just discovered these chapters today – ironically as I’m rereading Halfway to the Grave. Cat and Bones are my favorite couple out of every book I’ve ever read. Their love, respect, and honesty with each other are just perfection. Please never stop giving us more!

    Thank you soooooooo much for sharing this story! I really wished, that Bones would get a full book or even his own series, I can’t wait for another week to pass by…and read his point of view. Amazing! I now can almost sense how he felt, after Cat left him, you enrich his character with every word you write.
    You are an amazing author!

    Oh man I absolutely loved this. I miss my favorite couple. I’m gonna re-read series again. I hope there is a novella with this.

    I love getting to read Bones side of the story! I would read a whole book all from his pov. I would love to see more books in the future with Cat and Bones!

    Every part of this is amazing, and it makes me need more of this. I mistakenly read Night Prince before Night Huntress, and I wasn’t sure anything could stand up next to Vlad, but Bones does and more. I would read anything from his perspective.
