The night before last, I had just finished a book and wanted something else to read, but it was late and my eyes were too tired to start a new book. So, to kill some time, I re-read the first chapter of Halfway to the Grave. Then, before I fell asleep, I thought about how their first encounter would read if it was written from Bones’s point of view.
When I woke up, I was still thinking about that. So, just to amuse myself, yesterday I wrote it out. Well, most of it. I ended it before the actual end of the HTTG’s Chapter One. Today, I re-read it and it still amused me, so I thought I’d 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/)
THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE releases April 26th. Order yours at #Ad Amazon, B&N, Apple Books, Kobo, or your favorite retailer.

Of all the books I have read Bones is still and will always be my number one book boyfriend. Everything about him is perfect. His attitude. His possessiveness and if he called me luv I think I’d melt. I would love to get Bones’s side from all the books. You can never get enough of Bones. I’d love a bite or a million.

Annie says
This was wonderful. I miss cat and Bones so. I have never read another series where the man loves a woman so so much. His love for her sizzles thru this series. It is hard to find a lover SOOO smitten. Please publish bones story in it’s own book.
Timeeka says
Can I just SCREAM THABK YOU! I absolutely love C&B and the POV of Bones *heartmelts&cryingfromlaughter* Thanks for that. Please continue these series (spin offs included) I enjoy the dialogues and personalities of all of the characters. Is Timothy going to get a story?
Tx.Roser says
I was smiling the whole time! I love Cat and Bones story. I have all their books plus Vlad’s, Spade and Mencheres stories. Also Ivy. I love all book written by Jeaniene Frost. But mostly Bones and Cats stories. I have all in Nook and Audiobooks. Have read them about 20 times. Always go back to them after reading other books always wishing for more.
So I’m really excited for this. Can’t wait for more.

Yolanda Montes says
Definitivamente muy bueno como todo lo que escribes felicidades @jeanine, me gusto mucho su libro y adore este primer capítulo.
Una vez más éxitos y mucha properidad.
Por vivir en Cuba no e tenido la posibilidad de obtener la saga completa, pero cuando lo logre se que me va a gustar mucho.
Una vez más exitos
Yolanda Montes says
Magnífico lo que escribes y lo que trasmite felicidades mucha salud y prosperidad
Yolanda Montes says
Mi comentario lo pongo en el primer capitulo pero ya leí hata el último.
No creo poder tener palabra para expresar todo lo que siento cada vez que leo algo que tenga que ver con este libro.
Yo no e podido adquirir otro libro de @jeaninefrost pero si le puedo comentar sobre Besos de Sangre ya que lo e leído mas de 10 veces (con deceo de poder tener la saga completa) y cada momento lo e disfrutado aún más.
Mis mejore deseos para la escritora y su equipo.
Luego que acabe la pandemia desearía mucho que en la próxima feria del libro en la Habana ustedes traigan y expongan mas libros para así poder obtenerlos, ya que amazon no venden en Cuba😔 y yo debera que disfruto cada línea
Kristin says
This is very intriguing. I’d like the rest…please?
Nathalie Olofsson says
Ahh! Now I want to read all the books with Bones in the forefront. XD Have always wondered what certain chapters would be like from his point of view. Like when they meet Danny. Or when she leaves him, when they meet again. When they break up and she goes to Vlads place. So many good chapters. I can only hope for more. 🙂 Great work!
Ashley says
I’m sooo happy she chose to write his POV! I’ve needed more Bones & Cat since FOREVER! <3 <3 <3
Stella says
I love this book
Sonia Gregory says
More PLEASE, I just started today and can’t wait to read more chapters , “ I have not found any other series that even compares to Bones and Cat , they are my go to for any mood I’m in!!
Susan Potter says
I am so happy to be able to read the first encounter between Cat and Bones from his perspective! I would read the entire storyline from his perspective if it were available! I have greedily consumed all novels in the Night Huntress world, as well as all other novels written by Jeaniene. I’m not sure, but I may be on my 5th or 6th reread of these books. The characters in this world, as well as all the others, are among my most favourite storylines read in my lifetime.
You have an incredible gift for writing, and I am happy to keep visiting your worlds.
