Read 4 Review #196 - A Taste of Reality (Book 1 - Reality Bites) (Closed)

[Marni]

We would like to welcome author Joanne McDonnell for a Read 4 Review of her book A Taste of Reality (Book 1 – Reality Bites), a YA urban fantasy.

When Rosie and her friends discover that Melbourne’s nights are ruled by a secret society of vampires, their lives are changed forever.
The death of a single vampire ignites the fanatical wrath of a pure-blood, who actively hunts the teenagers. Faced with the fight of their lives, they discover that one of their friends is “not quite human” and Sorin, an enigmatic man who demands their trust, is clearly obsessed with Rosie.
Battles are fought and lives are lost, but the final explosive conflict leaves the teenagers distraught and confused. Only one thing is clear–life will never be the same–nor will death.

Hi Crystal,
I just realised when you requested your copy. Please accept my apologies for the delay.

I've been focused on writing the sequel, "A Taste of the Past" and neglected to check in.

I hope this doesn't inconvenience you too much.

You are welcome Nushki.
I am sorry you didn't enjoy it, but do appreciate your honest (and detailed) review.

Happy reading

Thank you for your honest review Crystal.
It's always a disappointing as an author when others don't enjoy your work. However, if we all liked the same things, it would be a very boring world.

Happy reading
Jo

Thanks for the great review mike, I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. FYI the second in the series is shaping up to be just as exciting; it features the characters you now know and love, and a couple of new ones. Keep your eyes open for “A Taste of the Past” mid-January 2015.
