Despite an extremely silly start and me feeling like A quick Bite was going to become a DNF, something happened – people’s lives got in danger – around the halfway point that got me really interested in the book and I ended up enjoying it. The characters, despite being hundreds if years old, are fairly childish and kinda dumb sometimes – hence the almost DNF. I enjoy humor quite a lot, but I like it to be paired with characters that are witty and intelligent.
But the story, particularly when things got dangerous, and the vampire mythology was interesting. I thought it was very unique and had lots of potential to be much better. Oh and the sex was hotter than anticipated, a definite bonus!
I would have liked to see more independent characters that thought more and it would have been a good book all the way through. As it is, it ended well and I was slightly disappointed to reach the end. I even contemplated buying the next book immediately…I probably won’t read any more of the series though. But I don’t regret finishing it, so that’s a plus!
I’m still laughing at a vampire that faints at the sight of blood. Bahahaha! I’m glad the story turned around enough to be a 3 star read, but the silliness and childishness would probably wear on me. I mean, a centuries old vamp who acts like that? Meh. Like you said, doesn’t exactly make you want to rush out and get the next installment.
The immaturity was what got to me, but the characters and story were interesting enough to make me finish. Who knows, I may read more. But not right away!
I love when I get surprised by a book like this. That’s why I try to go into a new book/series w/out expectations. But it rarely happens that way!
It’s so hard to go into a book without anything… I’ve usually heard so much by time I pick up a book. So being surprised is different and a nice experience 🙂
I’m glad this story ended well for you. I hope that the books continue to get better. This series has been on my TBR for a while. I’ve heard really great things about it.
It was a bit too silly for me at first but I really did end up enjoying it though – so I’ll probably try some more eventually.
