I admit I like free stuff. I also admit I'm not entirely rational in my thought process. For example, I happily hand over my Bouchercon and Left Coast Crime Conference fees and feel like I've won the lottery when I receive a bag filled with books. Seriously, this ends up being one of the major highlights of these conferences. So in my continued pursuit of this high, minus the conference fees, I have decided to scour Amazon for the best free short stories and books available. With that being said, let's get to the review.First, I should probably warn you that I'm not exactly the target audience for paranormal romance. If I saw a big breasted, blonde vampire, or werewolf, in tight leather pants, my first thought would not be how hot she looked. Well, it might be...but then I'd run like a roadrunner and hope to hell she didn't spot me, because I don't exactly have the strength to fend off the undead or not-so-dead, even if she ends up being about a foot shorter than me. And, besides, I'd rather not pop a woman, even if she has claws or fangs, right in the kisser.I did, however, find myself entertained with this werewolf-filled short story. And the eye-popping sex scene nearly caused my back teeth to float. With bars and cars exploding and psychopathic killers hovering just above the streets, there's action to be had around every corner. It's like the reading equivalent of big breasted, blonde eye candy, and I soaked in every page.Ava provided just enough spunk for me, even though she did swoon a bit too easily whenever Julian was around, but I guess werewolves have that effect on women. Which kind of begs the question if my wife would approve of me becoming a bit bigger and hairier. And if she does, then I'll probably be forced to reevaluate my overall opinion of the paranormal romance sub-genre. In the meantime, you can't beat free, especially if you're a paranormal fan. A BIT OF BITE should satisfy your craving.Robert DownsAuthor of Falling Immortality: Casey Holden, Private Investigator
