Love Bites (Death Becomes Her Book 1)

---

I thought when I read the first book in this series, that it couldn't get better I read almost continuously, and for the past year and a half, I haven't read a series or even one book that I've loved as much. With such loyal characters, friendship, and badassery So just, just wow. The main character does not have a problem with cussing, just uninspired cussing. Kindle Edition , pages.

They might have it marked like that because there are no explicit sex scenes, but there is plenty of violence and sexual connotation. The books …more No. The books are short, but they are really story arcs of one huge book.

Mar 30, Bradley rated it liked it Shelves: It's not hard to categorize this book, even for all the little quirks that creep in that is not all that standard for our UF craze.

Love-interest between the two. Don't get me wrong, it's good for what it is, a fast-paced stereotype-laden action romp that tickles most of the fancies even as it fails to nourish. In other words, it's fast food. It's right out of Vampire Masquerade, only the names have changed and the number of houses decreased, but that's fine, too. We're here to focus on the Underworld chosen one syndrome BUT, let me tell you what it does right: Pace, high-energy characters, willingness to introduce some wacky SF elements, and the obvious build-up to some really Big Happenings later.

Wanna change the world, one torn throat at a time? This is probably your book. I like it well enough, but I suspect that I like it more because I listened to the equally high-energy narration within the audiobook. I also suspect that any number of editing sins can be swept under the rug this way, too.

I'll probably enjoy tearing through the rest of the series, too, because it's all a very light read that doesn't much challenge us. We can just roll with the action and the spunky aggressive heroine as she discovers just how much damage she can do to the world around her.

Mar 20, Choko rated it liked it Shelves: Let's start with the genre - it is a typical Urban Fantasy with some Science Fiction mixed in. We are thrown in the middle of a Black-Opp gone wrong and the following is a result of a major member of the North American Vampire Family being killed and the Patriarch Michael being awakened. The situation is dire and a new recruit for the family is needed fast, only the candidate has to be well vetted, well trained, and have a condition which would kill him or her soon, since the rest of the world needs to think of them as deceased and they could never contact their old life once brought over.

Lucky for them, the ex CIA and current Black Opps agent with a blood illness and a life expectancy of months Bethany Anne is just what they need. If they could only make her and her General father see that it is the perfect fit However, he is getting old and he feels he needs new blood to take over the mental.

Bethany Anne, whose name is not representative in the least of the person wearing it, since it sounds so girly and genteel, while she is one tough as nails kick-ass chick, with the vocabulary of a sailor full of piss and vinegar, and with the temperament of a keg full of dynamite rigged and ready to blow up with the change of the breeze, is a very good choice for "enforcing" anything.

Once she is brought over, her blood-thirsty nature makes a rabid grizzly look like they prefer gluten-free vegan diet. A worthy replacement for Michael indeed. Not to lie about your actions, your feelings, your thoughts and beliefs but accept yourself for what and who you are.

If you are looking for high-prose and literature, or something that challenges your intellect, this is not it. The prose is very every-day conversational and the point of the book and the subsequent books, the way I see it, is to have a high-octane adventure and battles TV Series in the form of a book series. If you leave the other expectations behind and come to it for the entertainment value, this could be a very pleasant quick read in between your more serious daily grind. Just read it for the fun: View all 6 comments. A military gal, grown up under a military family, finds she has only 6 months to live, has a chance to live but has to work for the ones that help her.

Those vampires are working for the government. Only a few know. Aug 30, Lex Kent rated it really liked it Shelves: But I enjoy mainstream if the main character is a strong, kick-ass woman, and that fits this book perfectly. It is rare to find a paranormal book that is also sci-fi. Yet when it does come together, it is normally pretty good.

This is a really long series. I bought this book on sale, and picked up the second for my free KU book of the month with Prime. I enjoyed this enough, I will be reading the next right away. I will not be knocking out this series all in one go though. It is too long, and I have too many other books to read.

But if this series keeps up like this first book, I will come back to it periodically in the future. If you are a fan of vamps, weres, and a lot of action, this book will be for you. It is pretty violent, but you don't feel bad about it. Bethany Ann, has been turned into one of the biggest, baddest vamps ever, and you can't wait to see her take everybody on.

This book got better and better as it went on. I have to be to work in a few hours, but could not stop reading all night until I was done. Jane, now I know why you like this series so much: View all 8 comments. Apr 04, Graeme Rodaughan added it Shelves: That was easy, looks like the marketing of this book is where the real skill lies. Not rated on policy. View all 4 comments. Aug 06, Kurt rated it really liked it Shelves: I have not been one to read books dealing with vampires and werewolves.

That said, I found this story compelling even though it was choppy and jumped around a bit. I didn't care and stayed engaged in this "righteous violence" story involving a main character named Bethany Anne. It's like "Becky Sue" or something and totally doesn't fit with the subject matter and the usual exotically named heroines. It stopped me every now and then but with a smile.

Death Becomes Her

The book has frequent I have not been one to read books dealing with vampires and werewolves. The book has frequent alternating viewpoints and Bethany Anne is not present enough to be labelled a real main character but I hope that changes. The author creates a changed world wth vampires and werewolves but with a fresh take involving vampire creation I found intriguing. This was a fresh-faced story which had me turning pages rapidly then ordering the sequel at 2: I am excited to see what happens.

She even went as far to say that if I didn't love it she would buy the coffees for the next month. Hell, it was too good an offer to turn down. So, I went into this book with the attitude that I was gonna hate it. Don't judge I love my coffee. It was not only good but bloody good. Ok, so it had one obvious exception to it from Raands series but Vampires, weres, humans. Ok, so it had one obvious exception to it from Raands series but it didn't matter I loved it anyway.

I have read many supernatural books and it's a genre I adore especially when written well. This is way outside what you normally expect. You experienced the transformation of an actual vampire and her immediate interactions with humans and weres. The basic story is that these vampires work closely with human governments to ensure that all are protected. They go where even black ops fear to go.

The leader of the vampires wants to create a vampire who can take his place. Bethany Anne is his choice for two reasons. First she is a black operative at the top of her profession and only has six months to live as she has an incurable blood disease. The book is well written and keeps you turning the pages. I felt a little like a sponge. I couldn't get enough. I'm off to read book two. All are available on kindle unlimited so I'm guess I'm gonna be reading one a month if I can wait that long. May 01, Bill Krieger rated it it was ok. I don't want to be Debbie Downer here, but Death Becomes Her doesn't meet the 3 bill-star standard of worthiness.

The writing is stilted and herky-jerky. Everything is a notch below what you hope for in reading a book.

I understand that this is a serial and not literature , but still, I didn't feel a connection with the characters or what they were going through. Also, I'm not a vampire guy. Or a mafia guy. I've been hit with too many vampire and mafia stories over the years in books, TV shows, a I don't want to be Debbie Downer here, but Death Becomes Her doesn't meet the 3 bill-star standard of worthiness. I've been hit with too many vampire and mafia stories over the years in books, TV shows, and movies. It's a tired genre. I admit that everyone else on the planet pretty much love vampires and the mob hence all the stories.

The reviews on Goodreads for this series of books are about as high as I've seen. So, don't listen to me. Listen to the people who like a good vampire story. I don't think the book is terrible. For me, there just wasn't enough to reach the 3 bill-star mark. QOTD Although her hair was jet black, her personality could be straight from a red-head at the best of times. It's a nice side effect of the internet.

Prior to sites like Amazon and Goodreads, how would people have ever have found a book like this? The author notes at the end of the book are fun to read. He notes some of the software and websites that are part of his writing. It's interesting to get this glimpse into his process. And it sounds like he played with the images he bought using this editor: Not a good enough read for me.

But I will say this - I might try Kurtherian Gambit 2 some day. The reviews for the series get better and better with each book, so who knows. Sep 20, Hollie rated it liked it Shelves: I noticed a lot of my friends enjoyed this one, but I was in the minority. I'm sure it was just one of those "it was just me" things. I found the writing and plot to be a little scattered and I never connected to any of the characters. In addition it needs an editor.

There are currently 12 books in this series was a deal breaker for me. I tend to lose interest in a series after 5 or so books. It wont be a series I personally continue, but I do appreciate it being offered as a kindleunlimited. Mar 10, Douglas Meeks rated it it was amazing. What do you want me to add to the start of one of the most awesome series in recent history I am not just throwing out superlatives, when you start getting around reviews and still have over a 4 Star average you have joined a very elite club.

Let me just throw out this is going to take a direction for vampires and shifters nobody else has ever taken that I am aware of and to me has elements of some of the best authors in the history of urban fantasy and science fiction. Bethany Anne becomes What do you want me to add to the start of one of the most awesome series in recent history I am not just throwing out superlatives, when you start getting around reviews and still have over a 4 Star average you have joined a very elite club.

Bethany Anne becomes one of the most amazing heroines I have ever read about, I am not going to give you a repeat of what is already in the synopsis so let me share this little bit of insight, I have NEVER EVER read 15 books in a row by one author in 1 series but I stopped every review and book I had in progress to read this whole series and then signed up for his Facebook page to beg for more.

View all 3 comments. I did not like this at all. Every thought was told, every step was told, repetitive and took to long to get going. I stopped and started and had to make myself read it with hopes that it would get better. Oct 16, Ian rated it liked it Shelves: Men don't write women well I mean the author mentioned how long her legs were 3 times.

She has long legs. Well the lack of an ending. It kind of just stopped. I guess they want me to buy book two. Feb 17, John Harris rated it it was amazing. Don't waste time reading my review - just read the books. Read the first one as an Amazon freebie and so glad that I did. It sucked me in and I immediately bought and read the next 5 in the series.

Now the wait is on for the follow-ups which I understand are being released in short order - thankfully. Jul 12, Shanna Matheo rated it really liked it. Strong and wonderfully suprising start! I'm really looking forward to the rest! Mar 18, Trish R. Not nearly as good as Justice is Calling or Claimed by Honor.. That was a big disappointment.

This is a little sci-fi, since Michael takes Bethany Anne to Romania and leaves her there and she wakes up in a spaceship after seven months in stasis, and with a computer named T.

Kurtherian Gambit - Book Series In Order

She had to learn as much as she could from TOM before heading out to return to the town nearby, only to meet up with Nathan the werewolf, Alexi the brown bear and Ecaterina the human, in a battle with 5 or 6 other bad werewolves. After the battle with the bad guys they went after Petre and his evil vamps and killed all of them.

And then they were heading back to the United States. There was no sex but the F-bomb was used 31 times. As to the narration: Emily Beresford was just ok for me. She did ok with the voices and ok with some of the emotions when she read. She just doesn't have a memorable voice. Laughing and whispering is the two most important things for a narrator to do when reading, at least to me it is. Feb 12, Desiree rated it did not like it. I don't like this writer's style. The scenes are short and choppy, there's not much detail, and he moves around all over the place.

Apr 26, Leo Laursen rated it it was ok Shelves: The story is entertaining, but the writing is pretty awful.
