**I was given a copy of the following book in exchange for an honest review**There's a tiny part of me that wants to curse Marian Tee for asking me to read and review Suit and Fangs because now there's another amazing world in my head.  There's a much bigger part of me that is overwhelmingly happy that she did because I have now discovered an incredible new series.Suit and Fangs is told primarily in the first person by two different characters and has joined my slowly growing list of books told in this fashion that actually do it well.Though it has a strong connection to Tee's Moretti Werewolf series, Suit and Fangs stands quite strongly on its own.  I have never read the tales of the Moretti wolves, but trust me - after discovering the world of Caylie and Luka, they are tales I'm sure I can easily get lost in.The first thing I had to understand about Suit and Fangs is given to readers in the book description: "Caros are what vampires used to be.We are slaves to pleasure, power turns us on, and each and every one of us has a weakness to hide."  Tee separates her worlds by showing that vampires are members of the Caros race that have essentially lost all of who they are.  In a way I was reminded of the difference between the Moroi and Strigoi in Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series - through the idea that although both groups have similar characteristics (primarily the need for sustenance through drinking blood) one has become the basest of creatures - having lost everything that made them the person they once were.Suit and Fangs follows the re-connection of 18 year old Caylie and 19 year old Luka.  The two were the closest of friends until circumstances cause Luka to hurt the girl who is his everything and disappear.  Tee throws the two back together as Caylie is looking to avenge her broken heart and Luka must do everything in his power to try to not hurt her again.There is so much more I want to say to describe this story but I really am terrified I'll say too much.  Let me just say that the relationships built between characters in this world were so dynamic - the one-two punches of dialogue between Caylie and Luka had me laughing at times.  The way the world of the Caros hides in plain sight of the human world is so well crafted that I could legitimately believe it might exist.  So many times I found myself yelling at the hard-nosed alpha Luka and the playfully minx-y Caylie to just sit down and talk to each other.  Trust me when I say that if you are yelling at characters in a book, then they must be well written.Kudos to Marian Tee for dragging me into another amazing world.Happy Reading :-)
