This was a book that I needed, in a time when I certainly needed it. Outside of the characters, the setting comes across strongly even for someone who has no idea what Boston looks like we see the surroundings play out in almost lyrical prose, concentrated on specific moments and motions * Chloé Muses * As far as dry, quirky humour goes, Ry Herman does it well. This is a story with sharp wit, writing that has you laughing one moment and deep in empathy the next. If you've grown out of Twilight but still fancy some monsters in your comfort reads, this could be just the sweet, emotionally literate, non-sparkly love story you're looking for * SFX * Love Bites is about finding love and relearning trust after abuse, even as the characters still struggle with fear and guilt: this creates two main characters who are realistically flawed, incredibly multi-faceted. Its depictions of depression and trauma are heartfelt, and its message of hope is hard to resist. But how do you build a life together when one of you is already dead? Angela has sharp and deadly teeth.Īngela and Chloe might just be perfect for each other. Trouble is, Angela can only come out at night.
