it was really good. i really liked it. it was a very interesting take on witches and vampires the main character being half witch and vampire princess. the ending made me want to read the sequel which wont be out until next year. if your into young adult books, you probally will like this. the rating is in the 3.5 or 4's. and its a pretty quick read too.

[Desperado]

Thanks for answering, Mariya! I've had this book on my TBR shelf for awhile but none of my friends have read it yet. It's nice to know it's as good as the synopsis leads you to believe.

[Mariya]

yea. i was bored one nite and i had a copy and thought i would give it try. havent read a young adult book in a while and it was nice to pick one up and get back into the mood for some young adult book and beside they are a nice quick read.

@Krysta, what was "Stray" like?

[Kasey]

I've read Stray and really enjoyed the series, more than I expected actually. It has some obvious similarities to Bitten and it starts off a little slow. By the end of the book I was hooked and I can't wait for the next book.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Thanks Kasey, I haven't read Bitten, so when I read it it will be all new.

[Krysta]

Suzanne wrote: "@Krysta, what was "Stray" like?"

I actually really liked it. I've never read a book about werecats before, so it was a nice change. Faythe annoyed me a little bit for reasons I won't say (for semi-spoiler reasons) but overall, I enjoyed the story and look forward to continuing on.

[Mariya]

omg. faythe annoyed me sooooo much. and i dont like her and i like her. its weird. but im compelled to finish the serie well since i bought all 5 so far. and i really wanna knoe wht will happen. stray was pretty good kinda slow at the beginning but picked up toward the mid-end, which is really good. it was still a good read and its worth checking into.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Thanks Krysta & Mariya, I have bought the first one (a bargain at £2!) it sounds like I might like it :)

I think that any book that can get such you so involved in the story and characters is a good one.
I was definitely involved in Rachel Vincent's characters.

[Kasey]

Glad your going to give it a try Suzanne. I made it through that series pretty quickly it was an easy read once I got past the beginning of book Stray. Hope you like it.

[Suzanne (Under the Covers Book blog)]

Thanks, am definately going to read it soon : )

Suzanne, I read Stray a few weeks ago and enjoyed it, but I'm glad I read it before Bitten though.
