Description
Revisit Cat and Bones in this companion anthology to the Night Huntress series, and see what could've happened. With deleted scenes, some never-before-seen by the public, and alternate histories, forgotten side-plots, additional love scenes, and increased personal revelations, this anthology is the culmination of the decade's worth of hidden work that went into Cat and Bones' story. While writing the fourth book in the series, author Jeaniene Frost, at the insistence of her husband, pursued show more the idea of getting the first one, Halfway to the Grave, finally published. Paring her stories down to only the scenes that kept the pacing taut and advanced the main plot was a ruthless process. Though she loved the original versions of the stories, it is sometimes a necessary evil to 'kill your darlings,' as Stephen King would say. In the end, it was worth every strike of the pen: Cat and Bones became a reality. The Night Huntress series went on to be a New York Times bestselling series, winning awards and spawning several spin-off series and amassing a cult following across the nation. Here Jeaniene Frost has amassed all of her extra writings from the first four books which have been heretofore hidden away on old disks and CDs, in long-forgotten emails, and guarded behind password-protected files to reveal the what-could-have-beens in the lives of Cat, Bones, Mencheres, Vlad, and more. show lessTags

I enjoyed most of the stories. A lot of them were just sex stories and while I don't mind sex as part of the story, just reading sex scenes was not for me. Overall, a fun reminder of the series.
Great to hear the deleted scenes! Always enjoy Bones & Cat scenes! Most excellent! The editor should have allowed the wedding dress & wedding dress scene in the book. Now a days marriages seem to be a throw away option & I don't believe represent the happily ever after as it once did. Happily married for 20 years!
Lots of great cut scenes and shorts from the Night Huntress series. Makes me want to reread the series. Best read after you've already read this far so as not to confuse, IMO

The Story:
When I say “Continue the series.” above what I really mean is: How the hell could I not read a book from Bones’ POV. I forgot how fun and addictive this series can be. My only bone to pick is with my own crappy memory. I don’t remember half of these scenes but It just sounds like a good excuse for a reread to me. I’m sure I’m not the only one wishing that Ms Frost would take this on as a real project in the near future. I loved Bones’ perspective and getting to know show more him in a different light. This was truly a great gift the author has given us and I’m so grateful she did.
I did quite miss Tavia Gilbert’s narration however I think I did a pretty good job in my mind.
