The Other Half of the Grave

The Other Half of the Grave is an upcoming novel by Jeaniene Frost that will be published on April 26th, 2022. The novel will retell the story of Halfway to the Grave, Frost's debut novel, from the perspective of the male protagonist Bones.

Writing
The concept for the book originated in 2019 when Frost rewrote the first meeting of Cat and Bones for fun from Bones's perspective. Frost posted the scene on her blog, hoping that a few readers would enjoy it, and was astounded when over a thousand readers responded expressing their interest. Frost was writing Wicked All Night at the time and unable to devote to writing a full-fledged novel from Bones's perspective; nevertheless, she drafted the first 30,000 words of the novel, amounting to sixteen chapters, which she posted weekly on her blog as a gift to her readers. The sixteenth chapter was posted in January 2020, after which Frost put the work on hold to focus on other writing projects. In December 2021, Frost officially announced that she would be publishing The Other Half of the Grave as a full-length novel. She stated that she would be posting a few more unedited chapters on her blog, with the stipulation that she would be taking all the chapters down when the book entered the revision stage.
