But of course. I started it last night and got about three chapters in. So far it's very good and I **think** I know who the queens are going to turn out to be, in history. (I deliberately didn't read anything about this book before starting it so I'm going to be surprised.) Good pick!

Title/Author: A Quick Bite by Lynsay Sands A Quick Bite (Argeneau, #1) by Lynsay Sands

Date Finished: 10/9/12

Rating: 3 stars

Review: Lissiana Argeneau is a vampire with a phobia. She can't stand the sight of blood. In comes doctor Greg Hewitt, kidnapped by Lissi's mother to help cure her. But as Lissi and Greg try to get past the kidnapping part, they can't get past the council bent on erasing or destroying Greg. So What do Lissi and Greg do, they escape the house before Lissi's uncle and mom get them. But out in the world they face some pretty big problems like: Lissiana's feeding problem, vampires that are looking for them, and Greg's family. Now with everything they go to Lissi's friend Debbie for a place to stay. But how long till they are discovered? And What will the Council do to Greg when they find them? Oh and the most important question of all is: What will happen to Lissiana if she doesn't feed soon?
