Chapters Eight AND Nine from THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE, plus new contest alert, and more!

December 6, 2019 by Jeaniene Frost 81 Comments

Lots to cover in this post, so let’s get right to it! First, there’s only about a week left where you can buy the first Night Rebel novel, SHADES OF WICKED, for only $1.99 in ebook. Behold, Ian is festively decorated for the holidays and wants you to bring him home! Note: Ian’s new, bedazzled holiday nipples are courtesy of BFF Ilona Andrews‘ photoshopping skills and twisted sense of humor, so of course, you won’t see them on the actual book. Order yours (#Ad) Amazon,  B&N, Apple Books, Kobo 

Second, a head’s up: Next week, I will be holding new contests giving away signed copies of WICKED BITE, Night Rebel book two, PLUS a box of Godiva chocolate. So, if you want your chance to win, be sure to check out my blog AND–if you haven’t already–sign up for my newsletter before then by clicking HERE because one of those contests will be for newsletter subscribers only.

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.

    I’m glad to see Bones made a mistake and was pissed with himself for doing so. It’s so tricky with the ‘I’m in love with you but hiding it’ trope to give the non POV character good motivations while they are being a jerk. But having Bones just be jealous and flawed seems far more real. Please keep going!

    OMG I love this so much! Reading about how jealous he was just thinking about her with past partners makes me want Bone’s POV from so many other books! Like when she was on assignment with Tate at the carnival to get closer to Patra, and when Bones thought she had slept with Vlad. Thank you for this, even though I want a whole lot more! 😉

    Bone’s stream of consciousness as he talks to Cat and the conversation he had with Crispin were flippin’ fantastic. Thanks so much for writing this. Night Huntress has always been one of my favorite series and getting to see it all from Bones perspective, right back where it all began is such a wonderful and generous gift.

    Thank you.

    Really, really, REALLY hope your publisher is paying attention to the amount of interest in this new perspective on your NYT best-selling series, and that they will green-light a full book with Bones’ perspective on the story and characters all your readers adore so so much! Fingers and toes crossed, and if there’s someone we should tell let us know.

    Dear Ms Frost,
    We, your beloved readers, are having a problem with waiting a week between chapters. So I’ve written to the United Nations and they have agreed the issue has international implications nearly as severe as climate change. Therefore, they proposed the following calendar update starting this week:
    Monday, 9 December 2019 will also be known as “Friday”;
    Tuesday, 10 December 2019 will also be known as “Friday”;
    Wednesday, 11 December 2019 will also be known as “Friday”;
    Thursday, 12 December 2019 will also be known as “Friday” …

    Absolutely brilliant! These are one of the highlights of the week for me. Once done with Kat and Bones from Bone’s pov, will you do Vlad and Frankie from Vlad’s pov? Ohh
    I may be getting a head of myself but ….when Kat goes and stays with Vlad it was so heart aching Bone’s pov of that would be so wonderful to read. Please continue with Bone’s pov with the others . I think you will find many would love to read them . I know I would love to read and own them.

    It always bothered me that Bones takes her “virtue” away by teaching her to be a seductress.
    His comment on her blushing at innuendo. This is what he loves about her and he will take it away. It’s necessary, but I still hate what is coming.
