I cannot believe how disappointing this book turned out to be; especially after loving the first novel "Insatiable" and having to wait a year for this one thinking it would be just as good as the first. Boy was I wrong. I've read other books and series by Cabot which have always been worthy. Did she have someone else write this on her behalf? Was she rushed?

SHAME ON YOU MEG CABOT!!!!
I loved bk 1 Insatiable. It was hilariously funny, engaging, with witty dialog, fun characters with great snark and a totally different kind of comedic vamp story. The hero, Lucien, was supremely sexy, totally hawt and adorably loveable. Meena the heroine was cute, fun, sexy and charming. Every steamy love scene between Lucian and Meena was a DEFINITE page turning re-read. The supporting cast was fun - Meena's brother Jon, little Jack Bauer, the doofus Pala More...

I like Meg Cabot books but "Overbite" is just another foray into a tired genre: cute and quirky girl with paranormal abilities becomes obsessive love interest of a vampire hottie.
It's cute, but there's nothing origional here.

Après avoir aimé le premier tome, j’avais très envie de lire le second. La couverture est dans la même lignée que la première, elle est magnifique! La quatrième de couverture me donnait envie de retrouver les personnages du tome 1 mais aussi de voir où l’auteur allait nous emmener cette fois-ci. Même si j’ai bien aimé et que j’ai passé un bon moment de lecture, j’ai tout de même été un peu déçue et vous allez voir pourquoi.

I'm so glad that other readers feel, like I do, that this was a really lackluster sequel. I honestly had to force myself through the first seven or so chapters, and continually found myself skipping whole paragraphs because they kept restating and going through the same things I'd read earlier from the same character and knew I'd have to read again from another character's perspective. I eventually gave up and skipped to the end to find out what happens and was incredibly displeased. Obviously,

This is a bad sequel. The first book, Insatiable, was decently entertaining. I picked up this book, it's sequel, which has to tell you something about my interest in the first. However, this was a thorough disappointment and an utter disaster of a novel. Most irritating for me was the way characters from the first book were essentially abandoned and replaced here with bland replicas of themselves who behaved and conversed as if they had little relation to the kind of characters they had been and

Overbite picks up a bit after Insatiable left off. Meena is now working for the Palatine Guard while staying under the radar with her brother John from her ex-boyfriend (and also the Prince Of Darkness) Lucien Antonescu. And just as she starts finding some normalcy in her life, well as much normal one can find when working for a supernatural division of the church, all changes.

Maybe it's because I've read so many books recently, many of them in the whole "supernatural" genre, but I think I'm fully done with this genre. I just found myself not caring towards the end. I hadn't read the first book, Insatiable, but I didn't need to as everything was explained in this second novel. The main girl character, Meena, was pretty cool but at the same time, pretty useless. Lucien, the vampire, sounded totally hot but at the same time, he was creepy. I think I like

I wish I could simply blame reading this book on my need to try out the interlibrary loan system at my new library, but the truth is that I just wanted to read the sequel to Insatiable, which I read last month.
Sadly, the truth is that it is a whole chunk worse than the previous book.

Meg Cabot is one of my comfort authors- when I want something light, funny, a decent plot, and great characters, I reach for her. And she's written some fantastic YA books. This is not one of them. A sequel to Insatiable, where Meena falls in love with the Prince of the Vampires and then leaves him to go work with his enemies- a secret Vatican cult, this book should have been great. It had the forbidden love angle, a sexy brooding vampire who strives to be good, a socially challenged warrior

Meena Harper is back in the sequel to Insatiable. Months have gone by since the St. George incident and The Palatine is hunting the elusive Lucien, who seems to have disappeared or have gone underground, but not too far from Meena. Enter a new set of killers that set off to try and attack Meena, infiltrate the Palatine, and bring Lucien into the open - well, you have Overbite. Meena's visions have lead her to an ancient book that once belonging to Lucien's mother, lead to a new way a thinking an

As a reader who formerly waited eagerly for new Meg books to come out (or to get my hands on old new-to-me books) and then hungerly devour them in one sitting, I am so disappointed to struggle through a new book and finish it completely unsatisfied. I waited not-so-patiently for ten years to finish the Princess Diaries series, despite some lackluster storylines towards the end.

Reading other people's reviews, it seems Overbite isn't very well received. I actually loved it a lot, so it seems I am one of the few who do. I generally give anything by Meg Cabot five stars because she is an amazing author, and I would have for this one too- if it weren't for the last part. Not the part where all the vampires are killed because Lucien died (I thought that was an amazing idea, that he had to sacrifice his life for the goodness of others and all that), the More...

Once I got past the beginning hump of the first book, I quickly finished Insatiable and was eager to start Overbite. I'm pleased to say that I enjoyed this book so much more than I enjoyed the first book. It's so good to see Meena, Jon, Alaric and even Lucien back in action.

I'd been looking forward to Overbite, the continuation of the love story between Meena Harper and Lucien Antonescu. After all, he seemed like such a romantic figure - smuggling Meena into the Met to look at his favorite painting.
But Overbite takes a different direction altogether. It focuses more on Meena Harper and her new life as a member of the Palatine Guard, her friendship with Alaric Wulf, and the struggle against the vampires.

Meena Harper is back in a story with more twists and turns than you can shake a stake at.
I definitely recommend reading Insatiable before Overbite - much of the story and character development starts there and this story takes off six months later. Meena is now working for the Palatine to rid of the world of vampires and keep the guards like Alaric safe (and yet, working to keep them away from her former boyfriend Lucien, The Prince of Darkness, who she hasn't seen in six months).

Overbite by Meg Cabot is the sequel to Insatiable which stars Meena, a woman who has the power to tell when someone will die. The men in her life include Jason her brother, Aleric a vampire hunter in the Palatine Guard and Lucen the vampire king. This book starts with Meena meeting her ex-boyfriend who ends up being a vampire. She is rescued by Lucen which causes all sorts of conflict with her employer The Palatine Guard.

I seriously LOVE Meg Cabot. But I feel like right now she's like five different people. And I'm not liking the vamp personality. The first book in this series wasn't anything to write home about, and this one was even more disappointing.

I read this book thinking it would be just as good as the prequel, but truthfully I liked it a lot less.
Mainly because of Meena.
She cried when Abraham didn't come back from Freewell, and kept insisting (and crying) that it was her fault. She kept trying to convince the Palatine that Lucien was good, giving a speech, and saying "You don't get it, you just don't get it..." and CRYING!
She was weepy and withered in her own self pity.

I was actually kind of skeptical going into the second installment of Insatiable because of the many negative reviews it has received. One called Alaric a "dunderhead" another said Cabot was all over the place plot-wise. While Insatiable itself wasn't among my favorites, I did thoroughly enjoy it. It had many laugh-out-loud moments as well as dashing leading men. And I think Cabot's turn on the whole werewolf and vamp thing by having the "werewolf" character actually be human

This was silly and fun and not as good as the first book in this series (duology?), Insatiable. It was SHORT, much shorter than I was expecting. And it was written in MUCH more of a YA style than an adult style. Which was okay, but also not what I was expecting. It was just a very different feel, reading this.
Also – while Insatiable was funny, and had me really rooting for Meena as a protagonist AND as a love interest, this book was kind of formulaic and not very satisfying. More...
