I really liked this book! Really, really liked this book! It was not the typical zombie apocalypse type of world, and I loved that! The main character, Eva, is one tough cookie. If I ever have to deal with a zombie situation, she is who I want to have with me. She is equipped with just about everything you would want to have when the un-dead take over. However, she doesn't really fit in anywhere, so she is pretty much a loner. In Life Bites, you see some of her past and her present. They are seamlessly blended together, and you soon find out why she keeps to herself. I really appreciated the way Tes Hilaire transitioned between the different times of Eva's life because it is not always an easy thing to do. Sometimes all of the "time-travelling" within a book can get confusing. I DID NOT have that problem here. It was also nice to experience this world from Eva's perspective. I found her to be a very interesting character, and you get to learn a lot about her in the book. Her sarcasm and people skills were so entertaining! It was very easy to get sucked into her story and the challenges she is facing. The supporting characters are great too! You do learn quite a bit about John in this book, and he has an interesting story too. I can't wait for more in this series because I'd like to learn more about some of the others as well. Oh, and not to mention the information that was obtained towards the end of the book! The anticipation of what comes next is killing me! Great book!
