Bite Me by Linsey Hall
4.0
Actual rating: 3.5/5 stars
Be still my vampire loving heart! I was so excited when I found out that BITE ME and [b:Wolf Marked|58252777|Wolf Marked (Magic Side Wolf Bound #1)|Veronica Douglas|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1627078697l/58252777._SY75_.jpg|91307581] were set in the same world, especially since vampires are one of my favorite supernatural creatures. Once more, the union of romance, supernatural and mystery in this world worked wonders, so let me tell you a little bit more about this exciting, fast-paced little gem.
Bite Me follows Mac, a seer living in Gild City, the home of the supernatural community in London. One day, a dark, handsome and brooding vampire steps into her bar, and despite the instant attraction, the hostility coming off him in her regards immediately puts Mac on edge. The vampire in question is Drakon, the First vampire, who claims that Mac buried him alive five years earlier. Mac has no recollection of this, but in order to save herself from Drakon’s thirst for vengeance, she oversells her seer gifts and offers to help him infiltrate a secret society in order to save his friend. Drakon accepts, although begrudgingly, at the risk of making his situation with Mac far more complicated. In fact, Drakon knows that Mac is in truth his Bride, the one fated to either strip him of his immortality or turn him to stone. What will happen between Mac and Drakon? Well, you’ll have to read the book to find out!
Mac was a delightful protagonist. She had the sort of “no bullshit” attitude that I adore and relate to on a personal level, and I loved her feisty personality and survival instincts. Not only that, but I loved the close-knit circle of friends that she has, which definitely gave an extra layer to the story that went beyond the romance. I’m also very intrigued by Drakon, but I can’t say I love him as much as I loved Mac just yet. Despite having a POV in his perspective, I still feel like we don’t know enough about him and because of that, I wasn’t as invested in the romance as I would have wanted. However, the banter between Mac and Drakon is incredibly fun, and the tension between the two is delivered wonderfully, especially in the second half of the book leading up to the finale. I know I’ll be selling my soul by the time the sequel is in my hands!
I definitely recommend this read to all fans of paranormal romance books, especially fast-paced ones. Note: you don’t have to necessarily read Wolf Marked to read Bite Me, as the two stories are completely disconnected, but if you enjoy one, I do recommend reading the other for extra knowledge and fun cameos!
Thank you to the author for gifting me a copy to review. All opinions are my own.
