  <default_description>CLASSIFIED ADS: RESTAURANTS
SANGUINI''S: A VERY RARE RESTAURANT IS HIRING A CHEF DE CUISINE. DINNERS ONLY.
APPLY IN PERSON BETWEEN 2:00 AND 4:00 PM.

Quincie Morris has never felt more alone. Her parents are dead, and her hybrid-werewolf first love is threatening to embark on a rite of passage that will separate them forever. Then, as she and her uncle are about to unveil their hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform their new hire into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Can he wow the crowd in his fake fangs, cheap cape, and red contact lenses &#8212; or is there more to this earnest face than meets the eye? As human and preternatural forces clash, a deadly love triangle forms, and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who&#8217;s playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything? TANTALIZE marks Cynthia Leitich Smith&#8217;s delicious debut as a preeminent author of dark fantasy.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm not really sure what to say about this book. It's . . . strange. And not strange in the good, wow-that-was-crazy-scary-and-I-would-totally-see-that-movie! strange.

    <body><![CDATA[Tantalize is a very interesting book. After I closed the cover for the final time, I poked around on Amazon to see if others shared my view, and found a surprising number of single-star ratings. Although the book isn't perfect -- and the characters are far, far, FAR from perfect -- I don't think Smi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73423635">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[So here's a quick fact about me: I have a really hard time stopping a book without finishing it, no matter how uninterested I am. I am just this bad about movies, too. I have never walked out of a movie, and very rarely have I turned one off in the middle. I am just unable to do so. I'm the worst wi...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/65141280">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I was so tempted to give this book one star, but I only reserve that honor for ones I simply can't finish.  If you're in the mood for one of the worst vamp/were tales, Tantalize is the book for you. <br/><br/>Tantalize, by Cynthia Leitich Smith, ranks up there with one of the most disappointing st...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/58579694">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book is told from Quincie’s point of view. She’s a senior in high school and she has more going on than just her studies. School just serves as more of a distraction, even her VP “Hardass” (I thought that was so funny! His real name is Harding) suggest she finish all of the rest of the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/73669644">more...</a>]]></body>
