Bitten Shame by Olivia Hardin - Review & Giveaway !

      Bitten Shame -Book 2 Bend-Bite-Shift Trilogy                       Jill Prescott returned from self-imposed seclusion to help save her best friend Devan’s life. Throwing herself into Devan’s problems and bringing an evil organization to its knees might just be the distraction she needs to keep living without the only man she’s ever loved. Her life changed forever when she was hired to spend a week with Doc Massey. On the day she became a vampire her youthful innocence ended, but Doc’s love rescued her from being consumed by the darkness. The shadow of that former life continues to loom over her, keeping her from realizing her own self-worth. Running from her past only brings her closer to a destiny that is inextricably connected to what she is trying to escape…Every gift has both a reward and a price, because All of it fits....

My Thoughts
I adored Witch Way Bends (Book 1 in the Bend-Bite-Shift trilogy) and I always worry a little that the rest of the trilogy just won't match up quite as well. As much as I liked the first one, I love the second book (Bitten Shame) even more!! I will warn you that this book jumps back and forth from the present and the past- something that normally I can't handle. I get bored/distracted and boom I'm gone.. I don't have the attention span to follow two story lines at the same time. This time was definitely the exception because somehow Olivia got it just right. In fact, I loved this book so much that I finished it in the time my youngest was at preschool! Talk about absorbed in a book! lol!

 Bitten Shame continues where Witch Way Bends left off only we are now following Jill (Devan's vampire friend). We finally learn more background into how Jill became a vampire and why she is how she is now. Reliving her love story with Doc is consuming and emotional. Without giving away the best parts I leave you with this: "All of it fits". I definitely recommend this series and can't wait for Book 3 to come out (Dec2012)!!

  2. I really like vampire books, though I'm up for anything in a good urban fantasy book - magic, werewolf, etc.
    This one sounds great. If I win, I'll definitely move the first to the top of my "To Read" list.
