The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost
5.0
The ARC of this novel was provided by the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
First of all, I gotta say this. I'm a sucker for books that show us male character's POV! I've read Night Huntress universe for sooo long, it became a tradition for me to read them all once in a year. But this time Jeaniene Frost came with Bones' POV, of course I needed to read!
The Other Half of the Grave is telling us first book's story from Bones' view. My man was so gone when he saw Cat, and he fell in love with her at the first sight. Honestly I'm not a big fan of insta-love but when it comes to Bones and Cat, it felt right to me.
It was such a great journey to be inside Bones' head, getting to know his feelings and thoughts about Cat. When we were reading Halfway to the Grave, we saw Cat's struggle about being half human and half vampire. Bones was a monster to her and realizing that she loves him was a bumpy road. In this book I read Bones' patience, love and lust (of course!) and seeing Cat through his eyes was great. One of my favorite scenes was when Bones take her on a date without Cat knowing about it. To me it was the breaking point of the entire series.
Also, can we talk the smut?? Hello? Where can I get a British, two hundred plus years old Master vampire who calls me luv? I wanted to do this when I read smut scenes on the subway but I couldn't:
Also I wanted to sob to the scene where Cat had to leave him because she thought he was gonna get killed :(((((
Long story short, it was everything I need from a Jeaniene Frost book: My Bones, my Cat, pining, love, smut, aaaand a little of Charles. Please please go read it when it's published.
I want to thank Netgalley and publisher for sending me this ARC.
