Description de l’éditeur
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.
Avis d’utilisateurs
In the heart and head of Bones
Get ready to journey in a cocky snarky vampire brain …
It was a struggle to not read this book sooner but I had other reviews due before.
I have only read the first books, and many years ago, and only the French translation, as it was before I switched to read only English books, I know I have the others somewhere on my shelves but at a time, I came to read so many arcs I have few to no more room for all the books awaiting a moment from me.
As this story is the second voice from the first book, I was much curious to get Bones’ side of the story, and oh my!
What a read…
If I had more time, I would have read the two books in parallel, I did it for some parts, and it was so fun. Being in Bones’ head is even more entertaining than I expected, much more than Cat who was struggling with herself being who she is, two halves not ready to accept each piece of herself. While Bones is patient, he acknowledges immediately his feelings and let her grow accustomed with him, to trust him which is no easy task.
« she was fantasizing about ripping both of her weapons through his heart while he was feeling things he’d only heard of before, but who said romance was perfect? »
This book was just awesome, a must read to not miss after the first two books, navigating Bones’ thoughts is like a high speed ride, he protects but also covets and rescues. The other side of the coin is as cynical and haughty as Cat’s version with a tenderness for the wounded woman and a lot of anger turned toward those who hurt her.
« The rest would have to wait until she looked at him and saw a man instead of a monster…and looked at herself and saw a woman instead of a sin to atone for. »
I can only recommend to read this book after the first two in the series, it will offer a different perspective of the story as Bones past is of course a bit more explained but it is how he handled his feelings for Cat.
