Magic Bite
by Lucía Ashta, Leia Stone
Fun read with potential.
Edited to add: The second book will be released in March 2019. Ugh. That’s really too long to wait after a cliffy ending on a book the kept me interested mostly because of potential.
Things I like:
This book introduces fun and interesting concepts that are relatively unique to the PNR world. I love the interpersonal relationship between the h and her best friend, a furry, pink, demonic imp with a penchant for disco-themed boy shorts. I mean, who wouldn’t want a funky sidekick like that?!
I also like that our h isn’t the standard blonde, with blue-eyes. Without mentioning major spoilers, I will say I’m really looking forward to learning more about her dad’s heritage and I love the inclusion of a seldom seen culture in this book.
Lastly, I love learning about folklore from around the world and it looks like the authors have put some time into researching a branch of the paranormal from an eastern culture that I’m looking forward to learning about... that is, if book 2 lives up to the potential that I saw in book one.
Things I don’t like:
The characters seem a little flat and predictable (badass bounty hunter heroine and possessive alpha werewolf *yawn*). Again, fingers crossed for book two. It’s okay to start out with overused character types, as long as you do something new with it.
Instalove. Not even great instalove, with lots of fire. Just plain old instalove. Oh, and did I mention the super sweet and *shudder*, gentle, smexy times. If I’m going to read about a possessive alpha werewolf, at least throw in some angry, out-of-control, must-have-you-now, HOT smexy times.
Cliffhanger. Ugh.
All things considered, I’m giving book 2 a shot. The storyline is pretty interesting, the writing is good, and I didn’t see any overt grammatical errors.
