THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE is a retelling of HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE – the first book in Jeaniene Frost’s Night Huntress series – but told from the perspective of Bones. When other authors have written a book retelling a previous book from the perspective of the other main character, I admit that I didn’t get the appeal. Until now. I am a huge fangirl when it comes to the Night Huntress series, and generally all things written by Jeaniene Frost. Because the series was written solely from the perspective of Cat, the female protagonist, the prospect of finally getting a peek into Bones’ innermost thoughts was just too delicious. Thankfully, THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE lives up to the expectations of a superfan like me.
For me, the best part of this book is the opening few chapters that deal with how Cat and Bones first met. When I first read HALFWAY TO THE GRAVE, Bones seemed like such an enigma – albeit an attractive one – that I empathized a lot with Cat and her feelings of uncertainty about him. There was something so compelling about Bones in that first Night Huntress book, but he kept his feelings pretty hidden initially. THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE is amazeballs with how it enlightens the reader about how quickly Bones fell for Cat, and the reasons why. Yay! It’s a revelation. Even though I rave about Bones on reader sites about how direct emotionally vulnerable he is over the course of the series, I think a lot of fans think of him as the epitome of vampire cool. It’s both amusing and adorable to see Bones play it cool in front of Cat for a myriad of reasons but be swooning and totally goofy over her on the inside.
THE OTHER HALF OF THE GRAVE is a love letter to Night Huntress fans, and a reminder of why Bones is primo Book Boyfriend material. Accept no substitutes. I realize that the author has no current plans to do this for every book in her Night Huntress series, but I would love if she did it for DESTINED FOR AN EARLY GRAVE. That’s the only book in which I couldn’t wrap my mind around Bones’ actions. Some crazy things happened in that book to explain things but getting his reasoning would be awesome. I eagerly wait for Jeaniene Frost’s next book – whether it be about a vampire, a werewolf, or some other supernatural hottie.
