Adult Review: Overbite

Meena broke up with her vampire boyfriend and hasn't seen him in months. She does however see the future death of another ex-boyfriend. She calls him to warn him. They agree to meet.

Meena doesn't realize he's a vampire until it's too late. He's attacking her. All of sudden Lucien comes out of nowhere and deals with him. Now Meena's hiding the fact that she's seen Lucien - otherwise known as the Prince of Darkness.

Meena's been trying to convince the Palatine that there is good in vampires. They can choose to love. Deep down she knows that Lucien does love her. She wants to protect him, but something's changed in him.

He tells her the Palatine is using her as bait, trying to make her doubt her employer. Could it be possible? Have they planned this elaborate game with her as a pawn? Or is Lucien trying to manipulate her into his arms again?


My Thoughts: A cross-over A/YA title dealing with vampires. I liked this a little better than the first book, Insatiable. There's more of a mystery, more danger, more double crossing, and still the love triangle with Meena at the center between Lucien and Wulf. I loved the bits with Meena's brother. I love Meena struggling with her "gift" and deciding how to tell people their future deaths. I love the parts with Meena and Wolf, although there weren't as many in this book as I would have liked.

Cover Thoughts: LOVE it! I love the redesign of the first book to match this one as well. It's creepy, yet elegant. I love the addition of the book in her hands.

A Meg Cabot Moment

For those of you regular readers, you know that I ADORE Meg Cabot and all of her books. I'm a facebook fan/friend, I follow her on twitter, and I read her blog. So I was super excited to read this posting where I'm listed as FEW and it goes back to my review of her latest book out next Tuesday.


I totally admit to a fan girl squeal (or several) and a lengthy happy dance, which I will not subject you to.

That totally made my day/weekend.

Adult Review: Insatiable

Meena hates vampires. They're ruining her life.

First they invade her work. Meena doesn't get the promotion to head writer she's been hoping to achieve. Then they announce the popular daytime drama will be adding a vampire story line to compete with it's major competition.

Second, there's a serial killer on the loose leaving dead female bodies drained of their blood in the various parks of New York City.

Third, Meena goes out to walk her dog, Jack Bauer*, in the middle of the night. She's attacked by numerous bats, but protected by a mysterious man. She almost thinks she dreamed this late night incident.

Fourth, she starts dating this man after meeting him again at a party only to discover he's a vampire prince - ruler of all vampires. She discovers the truth about her boyfriend after a member of Palatine Alaric Wolf comes to warn her and worm the whereabouts of her new boyfriend out of her. She refuses to give up his location, even when she realizes that he IS the prince of darkness.

Lucien, despite his family history, seems to love Meena and want to protect her. However Alaric Wolf can't stand by and let that happen. He's determined to rescue Meena if it's the last thing he does.

When she puts everything together, Meena's seriously annoyed, but with a vampire war looming, which side will she end up upon?

My Thoughts: I LOVED this book.** Meena is sweet with a wicked sense or humor, snarky, and feisty. Plus she has a secret where she can see how people are going to die. Her vampire romance is sexy and sweet. Lucien's one part charming and one part dangerous. Wolf is amusing. Meena's vampire neighbors are hilarious - causing ruckus in the vampire world all in the name of match making. All in all, it's a charming sexy read full of romance, danger, protective men, and one kick butt heroine.

While this IS an adult novel, I think some older teens will naturally gravitate towards this one because it's Meg Cabot and also vampires!

The Cover: Is this supposed to be Meena? The cover, while attractive and eye catching, doesn't fit with the book.
