I read Charming, also by this author/team, and loved it! I bought this (First Bite) book because the second in the series that follows Charming was not out yet.  Mistake. I really tried to read this book.  I had to stop reading it at lunchtime, it was so grotesque and unnecessarily violent, that I could not read it while I ate. It seemed to be nothing more than one bloody scene after another,and,as far as I could tell,the repetitious killings did nothing to advance the story. after a few,the reader gets it- they kill lots of people and drink their blood. But that's all it seemed to be. At about 30 percent of the way through,it appeared that a story was starting to advance, but then, back to more satanic style ritual and blood. This story was NOT for me. It makes me very sad, I had thought I had a new favorite author...but now I am not sure I will try any more of these books. Dark is one thing, but this was just over the top. I stopped 40 percent of the way through. I really don't care about the rest, and it is a shame, because I think this is a very talented pair of writers.
