A review by sharonleavy
Bite Me, I'm Yours by Stacy McKitrick
2.0
Sarah Dougherty is a 24-year old divorcee who likes vampire novels and animal socks. One night after work, Sarah is attacked in a parking lot. Sexy bar owner John comes to her assistance, saving her life and persuading the attacker to turn himself in. How does he do this? Because John is a vampire.He is also inexplicably drawn to Sarah. Sarah goes to the bar one night soon afterward with her friend, and her attraction to John is instant.
The first part of the book was okay. John seemed nice enough, as did Sarah. The main problems I had with the book were the amount of bad things that happened to Sarah - my god, how many bad things can happen to one woman over the course of a month?! Any one of the following would have been bad enough, but Sarah endured ALL of these: Attacked by a serial killer and knocked out. Attacked by serial killer again and involved in a bad car accident. Stalked and subsequently raped by ex-husband. Followed by creep vampire and bitten in her sleep. Drugged and almost kidnapped by another vampire, then actually Kidnapped by said vampire. Tied to a tree and maimed, tortured, stabbed, and attacked by said serial killer yet again. .
Sarah also underwent a complete personality transformation half way through the book - she went from apologising for being 'forward' and trying to pay her way to practically stripping and yelling at John. I found it really hard to believe that someone who ended up curled in the fetal position after a very traumatic incident would behave the way she did just one week later. I found the explanation behind Sarah being targeted to be silly, and I'm not even sure if that was wrapped up properly because I skimmed the last few pages.
It was alright. Contains sex scenes and crude language.
