[close] We, the moderators, decided membership should have it's privileges. We noticed that a very active member of the group said they'd only ever had one book they voted for win at the polls. Well, we decided to rectify that. We will occasionally allow members (we haven't decided exactly how often) to take over a BOM choice. For our first official takeover we picked Sans. She has the highest number of comments outside of moderators. We asked which BOM she'd like to take over and this is the one she picked. So our May BOM for the Paranormal/Urban Fantasy category is Magic Bites.

I really enjoyed this book! I was worried when I first started because I'm not a big fan of urban fantasy because the main protagonist - usually a kick-ass, stubborn, lone-wolf type annoys me because they're just too hard-core and push everybody away. But the main protagonist in this book, Kate Daniels wasn't as hard-core - she was capable and intelligent and did have a bit of that stubborn, "I can do this myself" attitude, but it didn't annoy me because she realized her limitations and sought h ...more

I've been meaning to start this series for a long time, and I'm glad that I finally did. I really enjoyed this book and the world that these authors created. I especially liked the different characteristics of the various creatures that are represented. These aren't the standard shifters and vampires that we're used to seeing! They had a unique take on the vampires in particular that was awesome and definitely creepy as hell.

The mystery was a bit easy to solve, imo, but then again Kate is normal ...more

After a slow start, the second half of the book really picked up. I really like Kate, and Curran = RAWR. On to book 2!

Really enjoyed this. It was a little hard to follow in parts, it seemed like I was missing something, like perhaps I came in at the second book instead of the first, but the questions were mostly answered during the rest of the book and I was hooked by the end. Can't wait to read more from the series. ...more
