Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bite Me is one of those books that has been sitting on my shelf forever and I'm just now getting around to reading. It's also one of those books I wish I'd picked up the second it came in my mailbox.
While the first couple of chapters start out slow, Bite Me quickly wrapped me up in lots of suspense, drama, and romance. It was a nice change of pace from many of the other paranormal books out there because, instead of fawning over the vampires and their hotness, these characters are kicking vampire butt. In fact, my favorite thing about the book was the characters. They had spunk and personality, which added so much to the story. I also loved all of the different paranormal creatures introduced.
Like I mentioned, the plot moves pretty quickly and there's a lot of fun vampire-butt-kicking, as well as some romance and drama.
The one thing I do feel like I need to mention is that while this is marketed towards YA, there's a lot of romance that I feel would also be more suited for an adult novel. But, that's just my personal opinion and while it didn't take away from the story for me, I just wanted everyone to be aware of that.
Overall, I highly recommend this.

It's perfect for teens craving more vampire books or those who love dark paranormal tales. And who can resist the title?" YA Book Nerd'A good companion to the Morganville Vampires books; they both deal with characters around the same age who are dealing with similar paths in life." Someone's Read It Already Reviews'Val's new life is just beginning, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it takes her next. This is a young adult read that centers on an eighteen year old who's just beginning to spread her wings as she transitions into adulthood." - Darque Reviews'So far the only fantasy books i've read was the Twilight Saga. But Bite Me is a strong competitor." -- That Teen Can Blog'I found myself being sucked into the story . . .I couldn't put it down; I read most of it in one sitting. . . the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat until I finished the last page, and I didn't want it to end! I wanted more Val and Dan.I also liked how hard Val tried to keep her inner succubus caged up; it really showed her self control. I thought it was cool that Val was like two entirely different characters when she finally let Lola out." -- Just Blinded Book Reviews'Full of charm, wit and a kickin' attitude, Val is about to take the Demon Underground by storm.

Val's' adventures take her into an unrealized world of the supernatural, whose depths she is only just beginning to understand.

You will too." --SciFiGuy.ca'Parker's book would be a popular addition to public libraries teen/fantasy collections. I look forward to the next in the series." Grinnell Book Review
