Well, it’s not technically the 4 year anniversary of Halfway to the Grave’s release until October 30th, but the celebration starts early! How?
From now until October 25th, you can buy a special ebook edition of Halfway to the Grave that includes never-before-published bonus features for only $1.99!
*throws confetti*
What are some of these bonus features? I’ll give you a hint: Another hunt with Cat and Bones, a scene at the beauty salon with Bones tormenting Cat during her makeover, a new sex scene, and an alternate villain at the end, plus the first four chapters of One Foot in the Grave, and excerpts from the upcoming The Bite Before Christmas anthology and Once Burned, Night Prince book one.
Okay, that was more than an hint, but I’m excited by all the extra material! :).
To celebrate this limited-time discounted ebook edition, I even had a book trailer made for Halfway to the Grave. Click below to watch:
So if you’ve heard of the Night Huntress series, but haven’t gotten around to reading it yet (or you’ve chatted it up to a friend who hasn’t tried it yet) now’s your chance to pick up the first book for less than the price of a cup of coffee.
Here are some ordering links:
Don’t have an e-reader but still want to get in on the fun? You can download software for free to read on your computer or other mobile device. Click here to see how.
And in the very near future, look for a special contest to further celebrate the anniversary of Cat and Bones’s first adventures. Thank you so much, readers, for making the past four years as an author wonderful for me!
.
ETA: Here’s the contest I was talking about! For your chance to win either a Sony, Nook, or Kindle e-reader, go to Smart Bitches, Trashy books and enter the “Bonus Materials” contest. Link here: http://is.gd/KEzEHO
Will the new content be available in print later on? I’ll buy it in e-book form if that’s the only way to get it, but when I prefer to have *real* copies of the books I buy to keep.
None of the deleted scenes have ever been incorporated into the print books, sorry! Ebook is the only way to get them, aside from the ones I posted for free on my fan site.
Hi Jeaniene, I’ve had a look on kindle uk and there’s no mention of the deleted scenes. Will these deleted scenes be added and available from kindle uk?
Tracey, the ebook with the bonus material is here on Amazon UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Halfway-Grave-Bonus-Material-ebook/dp/B005JWU5BI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1316535946&sr=8-1
Just bought it! Thank you very much. 😀
Couldn’t wait to for this to come out, so I read the second book first. Then the third. Then… you get it. So I am reading your first book last. Awesome series. Have loved every moment!
*perks up* Bonus Material? Oooohhh purrrtty.
Grrr, and I used the last bit of my paycheck to get Ilona’s Silver Shark. No new Bones material for me till Friday 🙁
I have read this book a number of times, but I will gladly buy it again to get my hands on the deleted and bonus scenes. They are the best. Thanks Jeaniene.
YES! My most favorite book in the series! I’ve been holding off on the e-book version and I guess this was the reason why. Thank you! 🙂
Bones teasing Cat at the salon?!!! Priceless! (I did feel bad for her, she was so uncomfortable with her appearance after that makeover and then Bones eyeing her up like a piece of meat…) LOL. thanks for giving all us fans all this love Jeaniene, with the freebies, and the fun posts, and the contests, and the increasingly stellar books. Always thrilled to get my hands on a new one. 🙂
Thank you! And I giggled all through writing that salon scene. Glad to finally get to share it!
I love the sence in the second book where he tells cat that he tricked her about the no panty rule on the hunts. I was laughing so hard I woke my husband up. These two know how to make you laugh and cry so hard you have no choice but to fall in love with them. Thanks Jeaniene!
Hi Jeaniene,
It was so great finally getting to meet you in Charlotte! 😀 My mom still says she’s your number one fan, but not in a Misery kind of way. LOL.
She has dived into One Grave at a Time and is loving it. I am spacing my reads out because I don’t want to read all of your books at once, and then will have to wait for the next one. So I’m reading them in between other books. Very good series.
The characters are very memorable and the plots are engaging, which is hard to accomplish in this genre, so I’m learning a lot from you whether you know it or not. Your writing makes me take a long look at plot and characterization. You’re my hero. I didn’t get to tell you all that at the signing because I heard growling behind me to move on. LOL.
Keep up the excellent work!
Thanks for the very kind words!
I bought Halfway Through the Grave back in March for my Kindle, read it, loved it, and the Night Huntress series became my favorite series. I couldn’t resist buying this special edition because of the bonus material, and I must say that it was totally worth it! It would have been worth it even if I had to pay the standard price (or more) for the book, but that is awesome that it is available for purchase at such a low price. Thank you!
I totally meant to write “Halfway to the Grave,” not “Halfway Through the Grave”!
I just cant get enough of your books Jeaniene. I have all the Night Huntress on my IPOD and I must admid I have listened to the series 1-5 3 times already..I just downloaded the 6th book and I also have the World Series books 1 and 2 cant wait for more of those as well..I am in hopes they start a series we can all enjoy and watch..I for one wouldnt miss it..Would love to see it become visual.. 🙂 LOVE LOVE LOVE it..Even my husband cant get enough of it..Thank you so very much and I am NOT looking forward to this ending anytime soon..I hope you can get even more books out, past the 9th..Thanks again Lori
Thank you!
I do have a quick question..Do you have the Night Huntress Series in Hard cover..I would love to purchase the whole series in hard cover. I see you have The world series in hard cover but I have not scene the other.. Thanks Lori
The only hardcovers available are through Rhapsody Book Club for First Drop of Crimson and Eternal Kiss of Darkness.
Hi Jeaniene!!
Let me star by congratulating you on this extremely addictive series. I love PNR books as well as Urban Fantasy but i always read more witches books than anything else; i liked vamps before, specially in movies (Interview with a Vampire, Underworld series, etc) but i didn’t read much about them in books. Then, little over a year ago i came across Halfway to the Grave and now i’m obsessed with vampires, like going through whole series in mere months. Still Bones is my favorite all time vamp.
Thanks for such an amazing pair in Cat and Bones, is very refreshing to see a solid couple depicted in books ^.^
I have one request. Please don’t let anyone other than Tavia Gilbert read your stories for audio books. She is fantastic and brings Cat and Bones to life.
Thank you for the great adventures. I’m looking forward to the Tepesh stories.
Will similar offers be made for the other books in the series? I have not purchased them in ebooks but have been considering it recently. Ive read the books so many times that the book covers are falling off. Especially, “One foot in the Grave”, one of my favorites from the series. Lol. I wouldn’t even mind buying them at regular price but Im a big fan of book extras, especially delete/extended scenes and unpublished short stories.
I would definately be up for waiting if I knew that similar offers would eventually be provided. 😉
I don’t know if other discount offers will be available for the rest of the books. I had to really push my publisher to get this done for Halfway to the Grave, so I’d say don’t hold your breath. Sorry!
AAAAHHHHH!!!! I am totally getting this book again on ebook….I am so freaking excited about the bonus material!! And I LOVED One Grave at a Time!!! So great!!! I am looking forward not only to the anthology but for Vlad’s book!! I may love him as much as I do Bones…well…almost..lol. I hope to get to meet you sometime but it won’t be anytime soon. I have lots of big things coming in the new year. Like a new baby boy and my daughter turning 4! I love your writing Jeaniene! Keep up the good work! You are my favorite author!
Yay! I borrowed my mom’s Cat and Bones collection up to book four, then I started buying them on my own. This will give me an excuse to get all the ones I’m missing. By the way I can’t wait to see Vlad’s books. Knowing that you’re excited about them shows that his tale promises to be a great one. Did I mention you’re my favorite author of all time? And I read a lot! Your pacing and world building is superb 🙂 Thanks for the fun escape.
Wow has it been for years already? Time flies when we are having such a blast your night huntress series. I do however have question for you. I did purchase the kindle version of half way to the grave a couple months ago….so is there anyway that I could read the special edition? Or do I need to repurchase the ebook again?
Thanks! I can’t wait to read once burned….vlad is such a badass and Leila seems like someone who could tame him
Unfortunately, you’d have to buy the $1.99 version to get all the bonus material that’s in it.
Hi Jeaniene,
Thanks for the fast response. It’s not a problem. I can’t wait to read the bonus material lol
Hi Jeaniene..I’d like to buy this ebook on amazon.com but it doesn’t cost 1,99 but it costs 4,36…maybe I’m looking the wrong version?! thank you!
Sara, if you’re outside the US, Amazon has the option of charging more. My publisher set the US price as $1.99 but Amazon can upcharge (if they choose) to sell it to international markets via Kindle. Sorry if this is the case with you!
oh ok Jeaniene!thank you very much!!!I love your books!!!!!!
I’ve seen the twitter notices about the e-book for some time now but dismissed it because I must have misread or misunderstood the e-reader part. I thought you need a Kindle to access it. I’m glad that I took another read of the blog and I just bought it through iTunes to read off my iPad. Looking forward to re-reading the story with the bonus material! BTW, this would be my first e-book purchase.
Hi Jeanine, I love your books. I read them countless tiime and I just purchase the $1.99 version. I can’t wait to start to read the bonus material. I read a lot of vampire novels but till current date YOU ARE the best I ever read.
Quick question- Is there anyway possible at least one of the book,Cat and Bones can be both the narrator like you did with Eternal KIss of Darkness? I will really love that 🙂
Keep up the excellence work !!!!
I’m so in love with this series and dont want it to end at all. However I am glad that Vlad is getting his own series I love him just as much as I love bone. Juat was wondering if you will give Tate his own happily ever after as well?
I can’t believe I missed it! ARRRGH! Definitely my loss. Will you be offering the bonus materials again in a future offering? Posting them in the deleted scenes section? Are you susceptible to shameless begging? (pleaseohplease) (evil grin)
