I’m typing this as I wait at the train station in New York after having a wonderful time at ComiCon (look for another post with pictures and details about that later, but I simply couldn’t wait to share this news). Remember how I’ve not-so-subtly hinted on this blog and in other places that I really, really would like to write books on Vlad? And how I had more plot in my head than novels contracted for Cat and Bones’s storyline, so I wasn’t sure if I’d end the Night Huntress series at book seven like I’d originally intended?
Pretend you remember me saying those things, even if you don’t.
Well, I am thrilled to announce that I will be writing two more novels for the Night Huntress series, ending Cat and Bones’s storyline now at book nine instead of seven. AND, if that wasn’t enough to make my day, I am also contracted to write the first two books in a new series featuring – you guessed it – Vlad as the hero and a new character named Leila as the heroine.
I am SO excited about the opportunity to extend Cat and Bones’s storyline into nine books so I can implement the plans I have for them, instead of cutting things out to squeeze everything into seven books. Plus, anyone who’s spoken to me for longer than five minutes knows I’ve been itching to showcase Vlad in his own books, and I’ve got just the heroine to give Mr. Hot Hands a run for his money that he’ll never be expecting. Right now the tentative plan is for the first Vlad and Leila novel to release in 2012. 2011 will see the releases of the fifth Cat and Bones novel titled This Side of the Grave, Cat and Bones 6 (untitled as of now), and the holiday-themed anthology I’ll be in with Lynsay Sands that will also feature and Cat and Bones story (untitled as of now). My publisher and I are not sure if Vlad’s new stories will be called Night Huntress World, or something else since it’s the start of a new recurring-character series. More data on that once I have it.
Of course none of the above could be possible if not for the amazing support readers have given to the Night Huntress series and the Night Huntress World novels. I feel beyond blessed to have the chance to write more stories with the characters that I love. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!!!

Joanne says
Thank you Jeaniene! This is great news. More Cat and Bones and now Vlad Series. You made my day!
maldivianbookreviewer says
Squeals!! Wow! This is awesome news!!!
I know how excited I am about a series for Vlad. And I know what I feel must be pretty teeny tiny compared to what you are feeling now!
Am so glad that Bones and Cat would get the proper ending they deserve by increasing the number of books! 😉
Charly says
I love the books of Cat and Bones, I would snap off when the books would be filmed, but unfortunately there are no people in the world could play the bones.
trader says
Awesome news! So very happy for you and all the fans!
mira says
OMG OMG OMG can’t belive it
JEANIENE I LOOOOOOVE YOU
THX :*:*:*:*
Smash Attack says
Oh my! So much fantastic news! I am so utterly excited about VLAD! 😀
Teresa Kleeman says
I’m so happy you will be able to write more books on Cat & Bones. I extremely thrilled about Vlad. He has such a wonderful air about him. I love his snarkism. I just hope you will leave Cat & Bones open to have a story written about them every so often.
I so hate it when you get hooked on characters and you never get to hear anything about them ever again. I’m sure wherever you take them, there be happy. Congratulations Jeaniene on a wonderul and success series.
Linda says
OMG! I’m sooo happy! I love Bones & Cat! (and Vlad) Any chance Cat & Bones will show up sometimes in Vlad’s books???
Bailey~~Muffin~~ says
Yes, I’m so happy. I just called my friend and were both crying and screaming. Could not be any happier. You are the best! You are the my hero! Marry me :DD
*gives ring*
*SCREAMS!!!*
Meaghan says
OMG!! That is so exciting!! I am so glad you get to write everything you want to now in the Cat and Bones series, plus that gives me more time with them too 😉 I also can’t wait to see Vlad given a run for his money, it is time somebody does right? Thanks for sharing the news, I am so excited!
AnasiaLovesBones says
OMFG. You don’t know how badly I’m tearing! Lol. I’m just too excited about the opportunity of getting to read of Vlad and his new lover! Ooh, now only for Ian! :O
Melisa says
I’m also so happy for you and us your devoted readers… I just love all your books. Look forward to many more of your reading… <3
Skip Maslan says
Awesome! Great news. I’m glad Cat & Bones are going for 9 but still sorry to see it end. Vlad definitely sounds interesting and I’m looking forward to seeing him full out in his own series.
Congratulations!
svmaddict says
YAY!! We love Cat & Bones! The more the better -and I *know* that you will keep their story interesting as, so far, I haven’t been able to put any of your books down once I’ve started them, not till I read them to the last page (unfortunately not many authors have the ability you do, to keep their stories captivating. I’ve read one too many series where I’m trying to finish the Nth book and wondering “why am I doing this again? I lost interest 6 books ago…”). Anyway. Any book you write I will read, that’s for sure, and can’t wait for more Night Huntress to come our way!
As for Vlad, the “overpublicized old bat” is one of my favorite supporting characters and him having his own spin-off series (and not just a book) is great news! And because I’m greedy, I hope we’ll see Ian too at some point. I guess he’ll be the last one to settle down, but I’m so looking forward to that. I wonder who will manage to domesticate that bad boy. 😀
You keep writing, we’ll keep reading. Tell that to your publishers. 😀

Kasey Parker says
This news makes me SO excited! I LOVE, LOVE the Cat/Bones story and am excited to get to read more books on in their series. It also makes me excited about the future Vlad series!
Ansley says
This really is amazing news! I can’t express how happy I am to hear that Cat and Bones get an extra two books. I had tried to reconcile myself with the fact that seven books would be great, that I couldn’t ask for more. But I definitely wanted it! And now, I can’t wait to see all the new adventures and stories we will get to explore with these two characters! I cannot get enough of them, something I can’t say for every series I have read, and I would hate to say goodbye to them anytime soon.
And the fact that Vlad is getting a series instead of just one book is also incredible! I know I will love those books, now I just have to try and control my excitement until they are released!
Congrats, and thanks so much for writing such enjoyable characters and stories!
Lisa K says
WOO HOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am sooooo excited and can’t wait. Your books are awesome.
Raven says
OMGYAY! More Cat & Bones = awesome.
But you know I LOVE me some Vlad.
Shall I change my name to Leila now before Debi thinks of it?
Congrats, Jeaniene. You rock.
Rachel says
AWESOME!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! I’m soooo happy that we will get 9 books instead of 7!!! I ADORE C&B and I adore your writing!! I have not been able to put them down since I bought them. I love them all – the NH and the NHW, they are all amazing! I’m also extremely excited about a new spin off series with Vlad! YAY!!! Very exciting!!!
PS Please, please, please don’t forget about Ian!! I absolutely adore him and I’m dying for an Ian book!! 🙂
Viki S. says
I am so HAPPY! Thanks for all the fantastic news.
Jo Ireland says
Woohoo, can’t wait!!!
Becky says
I am so happy yo hear this, Vlad is my favorite character, after Bone of course 🙂
Toni says
SOOOOOO EXCITED. I was getting sad the cat and bones was almost done 🙂
Bamafever says
Oh this is the best news. I love Vlad. A lot of us have been hoping and keeping our fingers crossed for this.
What great news that we will also have 2 more books of Bones. He is my favorite of all male leads. *sighs* Bones
I personally wish you never had to end the series. I could read a Bones book a month. 🙂
One more thing would make my day complete. Ian and his story. After FDOC I developed a tinsy crush on him.
TracyW says
Congratulations! This is awesome news!!!
Debi Murray says
OMG…OMG OMG OMG! Finally Vlad and Leila will come into fruition. Knowing her name since last spring has put toothmarks in my tongue from biting it so I wouldn’t spill the beans. I am so glad we have these books to look forward to. Thanks for letting us in on the good news.
Rafaela says
That’s great news!!!
Good for us, readers! We’ll get more of our favourite series!!
Thank you!!!!!
Heather says
Wooooo Hooo! All great news Jeaniene! Can’t wait to gobble it all up!
elizabeth says
Omg thats the best news i heard all year !!!!
susie forrester says
Yeah!! More Cat! *More Bones! And Vlad! Yippee!
Kathy says
Great news!! I think Vlad is fascinating! And I put my vote in for an Ian story, if you add to the Night Huntress World novels. I’d kind of like to see mash up with Justina! Talk about fireworks!!
Congrats!! And great meeting you this weekend!!
Sharon says
:swoon: how wonderful. Vlad will be such a joy to see taken down a peg or two by a female .
Missie says
*squee heard round the world*
Teresa Wooten says
Yay!! I am so excited to hear the news that you will finally be writing about Vlad. I became enchanted with him in FDOC. Can’t wait until it’s published! Congratulations.. Jeaniene!
Melissa (Books and Things) says
*Throws more confetti around and guzzles the champagne!*
Whee! Great news.
Carrie says
I am glad to hear about the extension in Cat & Bone’s adventures. Love Vlad, can’t wait to read his series. I think Ian needs his own story, he’s so cocky (hilariously so), he needs a to find his true “poppet”.
Sami says
Awesome sauce! Congrats! Can’t wait to read them!
I’d love an Ian book too! Ian just ROCKS! Thank you for creating him!
(But I would NOT like to see Ian with Justina.. Eeeep).
I hope you can fit more Ian into the C & B books anyway, I’d love to read more of him! 🙂
Christine says
I startled my five-year-old when I squealed with delight! Can not wait to read about Vlad!
Kristi C says
Vlad! SO very exciting, thank you 🙂
Kristy says
Awesome news. I would love to learn more about that sexy creature!
catalina says
OMG OMG OMG OMG HELLLLLLLLLLLLLL YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BEST NEWS EVERRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!
Chrissie says
WOO HOO!!! You just made my day. There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about re-reading Bones and Cat and they never get old even though I already know what happens. I LOVE THEM!! I wish you’d write more than nine myself.
Vlad.. what can I say I love him too. Can’t wait to meet Leila I know you’ll make sure she’s perfect for our guy. I mean he’s waited a long time for love since his wife died. I hope she is as strong a woman like Cat. I think you should give Vlad his own series title since you plan to do more than one.
Of course, I always look forward to an Ian book. He’s gonna take one very dominant female to control the likes of him and turn him to putty.
I can’t wait for more news and so happy you shared with us immediately. Now we can all celebrate.
p.s. Just wanted to say that everyone I know that has got to meet you says wonderful things of you. I’m so jealous I couldn’t have meet you. I wish you’d plan a trip to Austin, Texas sometime. Everything is big in Texas and I’m sure your fan base is off the hook.
Karen says
Am so excited!!!! LOVE Bones, Cat & Vlad. On a side note my Daughter’s name is Leila. Will your character’s name be pronounced “Lee-la” or “Lay-la” out of curiosity?
Sharon Perriello says
Yah! I’m soo excited. Congrats. Can’t wait.
Tuyet says
OMG….i soooo can’t wait. I finished 4 book within a week…and can’t seem to get enough. I love Bones and Cat…wow VLAD…will be interesting. Just wish there will be more than book 9. Plus any spinoff is jsut as good..You rock jeanine
cherie says
I am so happy to see Vlad get a story I fell in love with him after his first appearance in the series, I have to say his a close second to Bones.
Wendy says
It is us who should be thanking you. Bones and Cat, and the spin off books are the best I have read in a long time. I am totally in love with Bones and can’t wait for the next book.. .so thank you thankyou thankyou thankyou 🙂
Julia says
Congratulations. This is truly wonderful news! I’m so excited to get more Cat and Bones, but even more excited about Vlad finally getting his own book, in this case 2. YEA!! Thank you for bring them to us.
Manda says
Yayayayayayayay! Yay!! I’m so happy about this!! Woohoo!! Bring on the Impaler!

Lisa null Taylor says

laura says
This is the best news ever. Christmas has come early. Can’t get enough of cat and bones.
HarryM says
Absolutely splendid news.
🙂 🙂 🙂
It looks like you have your next few years planned out with four (or is that three and a half with the progress on C&B6) Cat&Bones and two Vlad&Leila books to write.
I’m waiting grumpily for my next fix, I’ve just re-read the first six and I’m desperate for more.
I’m really gratified when publishers want authors to write the books the authors want to write, especially when they are exactly the books I want to read. Win,win,win. I love it.
Cheers Harry
Claudia Hernandez says
Thank God!! I’m very excited to hear about Cat & Bones 2 more books, plus Vlad’s love story, poor thing, when I read One Foot on the Grave and he went to sleep with Cat because he felt lonely I hoped he would find love himself, he’s a kind vampire.
Thanks for giving us such awesome stories and rich characters, I truly admire you Jeaniene. Your friend from Mexico, Claudia. p.s. Please have a margarita to celebrate!! 🙂
Karla says
that is great.
gulie says
YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IS ALL I CAN SAY!!!!!!
Teena says
Very cool. congrats. yay 8)
Rachel says
Oh my God! NINE BOOK! AWWWW SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
silverdezz says
Awesome … Book 9 !!!!
Phew….we get more books than only 7 books.
I don’t want to see good bye to Cat & Bones so… soon
I am quite skeptical about Vlad’s series though…he’s interesting but is he that interesting to have his own series…?
Rachel says
Oh yes! He’s extremely interesting and a definite fan favorite! Many, many fans have been looking forward to a Vlad book and are extremely thrilled that he will get his own series. I’m extremely excited about it as well! Of course, my number 1 pretend boyfriend is Ian (hint hint! 🙂 ) but I’m really excited to read Vlad’s story! Yay! 🙂
Amanda-Lee says
yeay!!! i’m not sure which im more excited about…more cat and bones or a full series of vlad!!!
congratulations!!! I am so happy right now
squeee!!!
Mindy says
WOW Jeaniene!! Congratulations! This is the best news I have heard all day. I’m am thrilled! You deserve it! Congrats again and I cant wait to dig in and read all about Vlad and Leila!! LOVE Vlad so I know you will have something great for us!
Larissa says
That is such incredible new!!! Im soooo happy! Congrats!

Jennifer (AcheronLover) says
this is sooooooo awsome!!!! i was getting a bit depressed that there was only a few more books of Nighthuntress to be written. It is so exciting to find out there is going to be 9 books. 9!!!!!
I am also looking forward to Vlads books. Its gonna take one hell of a women to bring that hot head to his knees!
Laura says
i love all your books and i cant wait for vlad 😀 im so excited ill be telling my friends tommorrow morning 😀
Nina says
How quickly my frown from a bad day at work turned into a big smile upon hearing this wonderful, wonderful news! I am so excited to have five more Cat & Bones books to look forward to! And at the rate this is going, I’d be spending my entire 30’s reading Night Huntress 🙂 Thank you, Jeaniene Frost, for having such great imagination and the gift to share it with us so eloquently and with so much wit and humor.
Mikayla S says
Of course, hearing about more C&B books was always destined to be brilliant news! Thanks! I would love to see Ian fall in love, am still a bit iffy about adding Vlad (the Dracula legend is kinda sacred), but I would actually like to hear more about Juan! I mean, he can’t stay a womaniser forever. Bones is proof of that.
darkbloodyvamp says
OMG!!! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I LOVE BONES SO MUCH! As someone else posted here in the comment section I too never want to see the Cat and Bones series end! I could read them forever! I would be beyond ecstatic if you went beyond 9 books!!!
I want to say thank you for bringing such a wonderful and amazing story and character like Bones into my life as it makes me forget about my own problems and reality. The only thing I wish Bones was real LOL! To have a man (or vampire) like that LOL!
Also want to say I am loving the Night Huntress World series and would LOVE to see a second Spade book. Bone3s is number 1 in my books with Spade at number 2! Love them so much and once again Thank you!
ammom83 says
I love Vlad! I’m glad we get to read his story:)
Leila says
I am so excited about Vlad!!! I have turned so many people onto these books, they are my favorite! Jeaniene, I am so excited that Vlad’s girl is named Leila, I feel so honored to have my name in one of your books!!! Yay!! can’t wait:)
Loleaf says
Thank you Jeaniene for giving me hours of escape from the real world!! Love the relationship between Cat & Bones and can’t wait for the next installment…counting down the days!! Can’t wait for Vlad’s books either, I hope there will be some Cat, Bones cameo’s since Vlad feels a connection to her. 🙂 The wait will be excruciating!!
Melissa says
Yes! I can’t wait to read more about Vlad, he’s is so awesome and very interesting so far. Can’t wait to see where you go with him. And of course I can’t wait for more Cat and Bones. I’m rereading them again for the seventh time. By the time the next one comes out I’m sure I’ll have them read again for the ninth time…haha. And the Spade and Menecheres books read another 3 times which would make it my fifth time reading them. I can’t wait to hear when or if you have one of Ian, I’m thinking his book would be quite interesting being he’s an interesting character. And to find someone who could tame the wild beast would have to quite the woman…haha.
Thanks for such awesome books. I love them all. Your awesome!
Leilani says
OMG thats so awesome!!!
As for Vlads book, Im stoked! But I must say, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE add 2 letters to Leila’s name. PLEASE! Instead of Leila… Make is Leilani!
That would be so awesome!
Leilani
Brandy Autrey says
That is amazing :)… We fans can’t get enough! Great to know that more side characters are having their moment in the spot light ;). Your books, among a few other fave authors, are getting my by and through my slow college days lol.
Madeleine says
Ohh I’m so excited!!! I’m looking forward to the next Cat and Bones novels so much and I think everybody just looves Vlad. Well I do 😉 So, happy news today!!
Stacy says

I have recently started reading the night huntress series,and when i found out there was only going to be 7 books i was a little bummed lol.but now to hear that your extending the cat and bones books 2 more books and a Vlad series,that probably just made my entire month .
AlysL says
Awesome news! I love Cat and Bones and have introduced them to many of my friends! They are all big fans now too! More Cat and Bones is what EVERYONE wants! And Vlad….well I can’t wait! thanks for writing such great stories!
lori buie says
i like your book `At Graves End`.the relations between bones & Cat is real.& the one with her crine fighting group is real,also!!!!!!!!!!!!do you use female-make celebrities as `models`?
Tracey s says
I am soooo happy there are going to be even more cat and bones, I can’t wait for the next book to come out. I’m missing them like they are old friends. and then we are going to get a real treat and get to read about “vlad” now what yummy vampire will i dream about tonight…..
Bexy85 says
CAN’T WAIT
Brilliant news xx
Iris says
AAAAHHHHHH!!!!!! I’m sooooooooooooooo excited. I love the night huntress books. I’ve read each of them at least twice because i can’t get enough of them. Super excited to read the vlad books. Can’t wait!!! 😀
Steph L says
OMG! i am so excited! I can’t wait untill hey come out.
I’ve been searching the net for any books that are written somewhat like yours and honestly, there aren’t any! I’ve read The Night Huntres series like 20 times and i’ve recommended them to anyone who’ll listen!!!!!
🙂 Thanks for writing such awesome books and i am already dying to read what Cat and Bones venture off to next… 🙂
meridian says
Great news!!! Im soo exited, i cant wait to read this books.
lori buie says
i loved `At Grave`s End`.i`m new to the “Night-Hunter Series“.
that book explained things !!!!!!!!!!!.how did `bones &cat`meet .he`s not her `sire`.(creator)?.are you `replacing `the vampires who died in `At Graves End`. cat`s dad Max tried to kill her.plus patra from `bones` sire`s past decimated their crew .
Alicia Lynn says
Wow, that may be some of the best news i’ve had this month. Since with the military bouncing me and my husband back and forth for whether or not we are going to be re-stationed being the stress of the month. 🙂 I’d like to say that I’m so happy that it’s got me tearing up, but really that’s just the clump of mascara that got in there.
I think Vlad is such an awesome character, glad to see him get who own whole series, rather than one novel.
Shany says
Congratulations xD
VLAD!!!!!!!!! I am so friggin’ psyched for that series!!! Love him almost as much as Cat and Bones =D
I think my life’s complete now
Amy says
YAYYY!!! I loved these books, i have read many other vampire series and thought i wouldnt find another that i loved as much as vampire academy… Guess i was wrong! This is by far the best book/series i have read, i love that Cat and Bones are togther through the whole series instead of him dying or having obstacles that make them unable to be together. Buffy/Angle/Vampire academy and so on thats what makes this series all the more better!!! Simply the best. Looking forward to reading the next book, cant wait!!!
Amy.
Ann kristin says
Can’t wait. I had a feeling that it would be more books of cat and bones. to bat it will take so long to write them. I got one thing more to say. Way to go Jeaniene.
mlkr says
I am SO excited. This is the best news I had in a long time. Love the Cat and Bones series! (LOVE BONES.) I recommend your books to anyone who will listen. And can I tell you that I am thrilled to discover that you have a T-shirt shop!!! My favorite quote in the whole wide world is captured on several items, so Christmas is coming early for me this year. Looking forward to Vlad having his own series. He’s such a larger-than-life character that he deserves his own line.
Congratulations….you are so gifted.
Ngaio says
Oh my god! that is awesome about there being more night huntress series books!
I can’t wait for ‘This Side of the Grave’ i have missed cat and bones and have read the other books second and third times.
I think a series about vlad would be so cool!
I want to see how cats old team (tate, juan etc) react to her being a vampire.
I thimk ot would be cool if their was a side story about tate or one of the others on her old team for the night huntress world books.
Go Jeaniene! 🙂
MS Eva says
I would have LOVED to Vlad get with Justina (Cat’s mother) that would have made him Bones’ father-in-law! Would have been great seeing that neither Cat’s mother or Vlad get along with Bones, but both adore Cat! Anyway looking forward to the story line.
Also, why isn’t there a storyline about IAN!I love him too!
Bina says
I am from Germany and love the books about cat and bone. Unfortunately, I cannot understand so much in English, but would like to know with pleasure whether the new books about cat and bone act…
tonja says
i frist came acrossed eternal of darkness, love it and had to read the others, now i cant waite for more. hoping you will write more with spade and denise too
Patrice says
OMG this is GREAT news! I know I’m late to read it but I don’t check all my favorites daily or I’d get nothing else done. lol I am so happy to hear there will be more stories with Cat and Bones! I agree Ian needs his story told and a smart lady to corral him. lol Vlad…hmmm Vlad. He’s a great one for a series. I do hope that we will see him again in Night Huntress or as part of the Night Huntress world, at least in cameo appearances. I can think of a few interwoven “series” that keep a big cast of characters coming back in cameos or bigger featured parts. (Dark Hunter/Dream Hunter/Were Hunters, Mercy Thompson/Alpha & Omega for a few)
Glad you are feeling better after the bronchitis. I am fighting to keep a sore throat and swollen glands from turning into bronchitis. (fingers crossed and eating vitamin C)
Thanks for hours of reading pleasure and much continued success!
Alicia J says
OH MY GOSH!!!! 9 BOOKS! thats awesome! i can’t wait for this side of the grave to come out! counting down the days untill feb 22. Also i am looking forward to reading more about Vlad, and getting to know leila. 😀
nicoles says
YEA!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m so so happy to hear this. i love Cat and Bones. But Vlad is my fav. i was so hoping he get his own book with a happy ending and now, to hear he’ll have more than one … thats just WOW!!!
this new made my day… love these books:)
Tira says
This is still the best news I’ve had this month!
Bru says
I’ve only just starting reading the series and I just had to get them all and read them all with in days of receiving them. I’m stoked that your writing 2 more books. Just one thing will you be writing Ian’s story I think he needs to find a mate that will give him a run for his money
Cortney says
I just found out about the Night Huntress series, i literally read the first four books in a week, just read the third in a day and the fourth the next day. Love these books, love Cat and Bones, haven’t read any of the spin off books, but might need to while I wait for the next book to come out! I usually don’t start a series till they are all out because I’m very impatient waiting. But I can’t wait ill Feb. wish it didn’t take so long for the next,I’m dying to read more!!!

I love this saga! I finished the fourth book and I really like it. Night huntress is the best saga I’ve ever read! Thank you for this amazing books! I hope to see on the screen! I think it’s better than other series based on books like True blood or Vampire Diaries. I like them too but not like night huntress!!
A lot of kisses from Spain! (sorry by my english!)
Kristina says
sorry for my english, i’m from Germany ;D
I love Cat and Bones so much ! I have never read books like this. I mean I read vampire books but they were nothing compared with Nighthuntress ! I cant wait for the books !:D I read every book about 17 times so I#m a little freak and need new stuff xD

i am soooo happy about Vlad getting his own series. but what about Tate, i want him to have a happy ending… and still be friends with Cat. and i want some woman to make Juan less of a …..
Sara says
So I’ve been with you throughout the whole series and have read my copies to the point that their poor spines are wearing out. It’s extremely cool to find out that Vlad gets his own series because my GOD i love him! anyways thanx for the best news of my life.
p.s. I want an Ian book! More than you know!
Kat says
Your one of the best writers I’ve come across! I love the character Bones and so far ever book i’ve read by you makes me want to read more! I hope you write a story about IAN OMG I think im in love! 🙂 Great cliff hangers and moments that I wanted to yell at the characters.
P.s- Ian is totally b.a. 😀
Jacqueline says
i am so excited for the new Cat and Bones books, however, I think I’m even more excited for the beginning of a new series especially one with Vlad as the hero!!!
Why don’t you entitle the series The Night HUNTER Series? It’s along the same lines but different enough and appropriate since the main character of this series is a male 🙂 Just an idea.
Audra says
I love all of your books! I have read and listened to all of them. Your personal connection to the characters is amazing. Better than True Blood or Twilight! I cannot wait until the release of “This Side of the Grave.” I notice that you may write more about Vlad? If so wonderful! Vlad is one of my favorite characters. Thank you for all your work!
britney says
OMG was the first thing that came to mind when I read this! I am very excited. I am so happy you are extending the series from 7 books to 9!! You are an amazing writter and I love all of your books. Vlad is one of my favorite characters and I can’t wait to see where you take his series. I love your style of writting and your way of thinking. Keep it up. Your fans love you and will remain loyal to your work!
Sonya says
I must say I’m super excited for Vlads story BUT this means I can’t have him because Leila will. I wanna hear about Tate. That should be the next story… I’m curious as to what will happen with him.
And Ian… OMG IAN! I kinda want a story for him but at the same time no. Less you name the heroine Sonya. Hehe 😉
I’m dead serious about the name though. I will do anything for that!!
Victoria says
I am so excited jeaniene 🙂 and u should name some character (who is important) Victoria or Brittany cause Brittany was the name I was born wit but then changed it To Victoria
THAT WUD MAKE ME ECSTATIC
U should mKe Tate a book cause I feel sorry 4 him maybe 1 for Dave and Juan 2
MarciaK says
Yea baby, I’m most definately raising my glass to this one, and doing a happy dance (Who cares what the people in the office think)
Totally LUV Cat and Bones and Vlad and Spade and well come to think about it every single word in every single book in this series and the world books. Thanks, I can’t wait to read more.
Sum1sheart says
THIS IS WONDERFUL
aria214 says
Omg it would be really cool if you could make a story about Ian to show off another side of it.
Maemi says
Hello, thank you for writing those wonderful books, I hope you’ll also write about Ian! Please!!! 🙂
Nona says
Just finished This Side of the Grave and it was sooooo good!!! I was about to lose it waiting on some more Cat and Bones and who can resist Vlad!!!! I also am loving Mencheres and Kira now and with .. oh wait… can’t go there .. might be a spoiler for someone that hasn’t finsihed it yet.. but so glad he is what and where he is…. Cat wouldn’t want it but one other way!! Now the breath holding for One Grave at a Time begins…. Loving it!!! Keep writing strong Jeaniene!!!!

Hi Jeaniene,
Will you ever tour Australia?
Would love to meet you!

Christina says
So glad you have more books in the night huntress series, both my husband and myself enjoyed them while we were driving around the country looking for a new home, The night huntress world novels explained a lot of the gaps left between books 4 and 5 of the night huntress series, but now I find myself wanting both Vlad and Ian needing a partner. Bones has Cat, Spade has Denise and Mankaries has his dark lady, what do you think. Thank you for a great read.
Michaela says
Im Really exicted to find out that you will be making More then seven books to the night huntress seires! I love your books and as for the story about vlad well i must say that he is one of my favorite side vampires in the ornigle seires! I just wanted to tell you that you are a great wright and that i love reading your books. I look forward to the new books!
Michaela
Sophia Alec says
I wish you had time to write a book about Ian 🙂 I have such an obsession for HIM and i really thought he would get a book before Vlad:( talk about setting myself up for disappointment. But hopefully i’ll seem him in my near future.
zaara says
hey! i love your books! theyre better than anything ive come across in a long time.
anyway, i was wondering something. if mencheres is so old -over 4 millinia-and so powerful why isnt he a law guardian?
Jeaniene says
Thanks! Mencheres never chose to be a Law Guardian. He would have had to undergoes hundreds of years of training.
zaara says
thanks for the reply! cant wait for Vlad’s story! and i hope you’re going going to write one for Ian too!
Shanarieva says
First off, I adore your books. When I read your post my brain immediately said, “Wait Leila, isn’t that the woman from One Grave at a Time.” I’m kind of sad to have double checked and found out I’m wrong. Oh well, I’m still completely excited to see what you’ve got in store for Vlad.
Like most of your fan I’m also waiting to see what you do with Ian. I’m betting/hoping on Veritas. Ian so needs someone strong/old enough to kick his ass as needed.
Sarah says
I love you books and I hope you write much more!!!!
Please write a book about Ian too because than everyone from the book is happy!!!
Michelle says
Love Vlad, but i really want to see a Ian’s book!!!! He is the best!
