Week 14 Review: The Other Half of the Grave

From Goodreads:

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Night Huntress series comes a thrilling new look at the iconic origin story of Cat and Bones, as experienced by Bones…from the other half of the grave.

There are two sides to every story–and the sizzling British alpha vampire, Bones, has a lot to say…

Ever wondered what Bones was thinking and feeling when he and half-vampire Cat Crawfield first met? Or how their story might differ if he were the one telling it? Now, relive the beginning of Cat and Bones' bestselling love story through Bones' point of view, which reveals a darker, sexier take on their early days, as well as a deeper dive into Bones' past, the vampire world, and other things that Cat didn't see when their story was told only through her eyes in Halfway to the Grave.

Cat had her say. Now, it's Bones' turn. 

My Review:
Oh, this was such a fantastic read! I did read what Jeaniene Frost initially posted of Bone's perspective of the first book, but this is the whole book, and yeah, I loved it! It was interesting to see what Bones was thinking-and what he knew. It was so great to get the other half of the story!

Of course I was excited to learn what Bones was thinking in these moments, besides the steamy stuff, because of course, it's Bones, there's going to be steam. But I didn't realize how quickly everything would happen. And some things that he knew, well, it was really interesting to learn that information! 

Bones is very different from Cat, and I had a great time seeing her from the outside, because it's different from being inside her head. And her hatred of vampires, of herself, is a pretty big deal for him, not just for his romantic chances, but for her self-esteem and self worth. I felt bad, but knowing it would get better helped! 

That ending, knowing it was coming, was hard. But it was one of the moments that I especially am glad that we got this book to be in Bone's head, because Cat wasn't there for this. So it was really fantastic to see what happened then, even though it hurt! Plus knowing what was coming (and the epilogue!) helped! 

I loved this book, and I can't wait to see what Jeaniene Frost writes next!
