Book: Overbite by Meg CabotGenre: Paranormal
Rating: ***
For: Review
From: the publisher (Williams and Morrow)
This book is the sequel to Insatiable which tells the story of Meena and her involvement in ridding New York of it's vampire infestation. Who knew she would fall in love with one? And not just "one" but THE one, the son of Dracula himself!
In this book, the story starts out awhile after the dramatic events that concluded Insatiable. Meena hasn't seen Lucien all during that time and wonders what's become of him. Meanwhile, she has immersed herself into the work of the Palatine with Alaric Wulf (he with the not-so-subtle last name!) who she has very mixed feelings about. By the time it's over, she's learned, of course, what Lucian has been up to, and figures out her feelings for Alaric.
The thing I enjoy most about this book is the fun tongue-in-cheek style regarding all things paranormal. I mean, it's a good story and all, but it seems to be making fun of this popular genre at the same time. It makes you feel like giggling throughout!
Also, it was nice to read such an easy book after reading a few hard ones. This is such fluff and you know, fluff is awesome sometimes!
Bottom line: I enjoyed it!

I really need to read the first book. I have had it out from the library a couple times, but haven't got around to it.
ReplyDeleteI should be a pretty quick one when you do get around to it... really quick for you especially!
DeleteI didn't realize Insatiable was a vampire novel and the first in the series. So glad to know that. I tried to get an ARC because I like Meg Cabot, but I failed. Now, I'm actually glad I failed. I got vampire fatigue, a year or so ago. Glad you liked the books, though!
ReplyDeleteThese are pretty fun even with the vampire fatigue going on, since they sort of make fun of the whole craze. I love Meg Cabot too, so it's fun to read just because of that.
DeleteI agree that one of the best things about this book (and the first one) was the tongue-in-cheek comments about paranormal stuff. Made me laugh several times! I can't say I loved the ending of this one, but a fun, light read!
ReplyDeleteI thought the ending was pretty okay. Things went the way I was hoping, if you know what I mean.
DeleteArgh! I can't remember the first one at all! I hate that. I'm hoping this one reminds you of the important things?
ReplyDeleteThe stuff from the first one isn't all the important...I couldn't remember the details either, but it reminds you of the gist of things.

ReplyDeleteI'm in the mood for some fluff. Maybe I'll try this one, even though I'm annoyed at the paranormal genre at the moment. :)
