About this listen
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 a 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 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 best-selling series, winning awards, 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 that have been heretofore hidden away on old disks and CDs and 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.

Lissianna has been spending her centuries pining for Mr. Right, not just a quick snack, and this sexy guy she finds in her bed looks like he might be a candidate. But there's another, more pressing issue: her tendency to faint at the sight of blood . . . an especially annoying quirk for a vampire. Of course it doesn't hurt that this man has a delicious-looking neck. What kind of cold-blooded vampire woman could resist a bite of that?

"Happily Ever After" wasn't supposed to come with a do-over option. But when my husband of 20 years packs up and heads for greener pastures, and my son heads away to college, that's exactly what my midlife becomes. A do-over. This time, though, I plan to do things differently. Age is just a number, after all, and at 40 I'm ready to carve my own path. Eager for a fresh start, I make a somewhat unorthodox decision and move to a tiny town in the Sierra foothills.

What made the experience of listening to Outtakes from the Grave the most enjoyable?
ALL OF IT!! If you are a fan...listen to it right now!
What did you like best about this story?
It was like visiting old friends...alt endings, other stories...it was very entertaining!
What does Tavia Gilbert bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
Tavia is a true artist, I love listening to her..she is great...she brought this whole series to life for me..I would listen to anything she narrated!!
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
I wish they would make this series into a movie!
Any additional comments?
I was thrilled to see this available on audible, and about kicked myself I didn't notice it for a month! I enjoyed these extra stories, and alternative versions...it was like visiting old friends, I laughed and shed some tears...I was excited for Cat and Bones..and disappointed some times too...The dress shop was HILARIOUS! And I loved the alt middle to book 4 at the end...I hate that this series ended, but I do like that I get to visit these characters in other books and novellas...This set of stories made me want to give this whole series a relisten...and I probably will..it will be the 4th time I think...but who is counting?
I RECOMMEND!!!!!

It's like visiting an old friend...
I've re-listened to the Night Huntress books twice over, but didn't think much about this collection of outtakes until now. And even though Ian is my absolute favourite, I LOVED hearing about Bones! Clever lad he is... knows what he wants and goes after it.
I'm a little miffed at the editor, so many good parts cut out all in the name of "pacing". I wonder if there will ever be an alternate revised version with the outtakes put in. The last story especially! It was such a treat to find "new" material in the Night Huntress universe.
Frost is one of the best in the PNR-genre full-stop. Tavia is great here as per usual. I really like how Bones sounds even though some fans have complained about it. He's not some generic PNR love interest who just happens to sound like the deeper version of the female narrator's voice. The voice Gilbert uses for him is quintessentially Crispin.
I do want to point out an issue with the audio: at 4:14:27 and 4:14:38, a sentence is repeated:
"the name finally registered and my mother pitched in mid-crouch, my cat scorched her hand with his claws before leaping away with a hiss". This took me out of the story for a moment, but everything else was ace!

Glad she released this
I’m so glad Frost released this. Honestly, I think her originals in here make more character sense than what she published, even though I love her books. Especially the Bones memory loss and Cat being engaged and numb- I could care less about following romance protocols, I think it just makes more sense given actual human or half-vampire emotions and actions. Loved it. Tavia, as usual, amazing.

I loved this so much! It was great learning all the different little side plots that Frost thought up as she was creating Cat's and Bone's stories. Some things were strange and others seemed intriguing. And the author notes on each scene were fascinating to me. It was so interesting to learn what Frost was thinking when she originally wrote these scenes. This was a fantastic look into her mind. An amazing anthology!
Tavia Gilbert, as usual, kicked butt with her performance. She's always on point and gives everyone their own voice. I can never find fault in her performances. She's simply fabulous!

Horrible English accent!
I am enjoying the text of this book, but the narrator's version of an English accent is so bad that I can't take the character of Bones seriously. she makes him sound like a Scooby Doo character. I have all her books on my kindle thank goodness but I sure won't be buying the audio versions.

Awesome addition to the series!!
Any additional comments?
The Night Huntress series is one of my favorites. I was bummed out to see the series end so getting the chance to hear more of Bones and Cat’s story is fantastic! The outtakes and deleted scenes are easy to follow thanks to the author comments letting you know where the scene would have been. I could not stop listening I ended up listening all night. This is an awesome addition to the series!
