Talk about starting out with a bang………….. Sour begins with Celia being summoned by Milo, the rogue vampire who had taken blood from her in Sweet, (book one in this series), and the result of said summoning is not a pleasant one. And, once Victor discovers what has transpired, he vows to do everything in his power to keep Celia safe. When Celia agrees, finally, to exchange blood with Victor in order to erase Milo’s powers over her, the results are astounding. To everyone. Blood exchanges allow both parties to stay connected to each other, but no one expected Celia to demonstrate the kind of power that keeps growing stronger.
After a trip to her aunt’s house, she discovers that her cousin has unexpectedly come home and something is definitely up with him, which causes her some concern. Add the fact that her pushy new coworker is nosing around, AND, top all of that off with questions she has about her mother and you have quite an interesting mix of events presenting themselves. Poor Celia just does not seem to be able to catch a break, but that’s just the kind of thing that keeps a reader reading…………
Sour is a great follow up to Sweet. I absolutely love Celia. She’s tough and quirky and vulnerable all at the same time. And, even though she loves Victor, she’s not completely “enthralled” with him. They have their relationship ups and downs, which adds texture to the story. Not only do we get to see our old friends, and enemies, but she also introduces a new species or two, and some new characters. And I love the way she introduced them. They’re eased into the story in a way that doesn’t make it feel forced, rather it just continues the storyline. There is a lot going on in this book, but it was easy to keep up. All in all, a great read and I can’t wait for the next one. I just hope she doesn’t make me wait too long………….. ;)

Sour- the vampire legend that started out sweet, with all the exciting highs one gets from being in a relationship with a vampire turns sour, once the human shares blood with one. I guess that is because it is the taste of blood – sour.
Being bitten by another vampire who has wrong intentions on her, Celia finally agrees to what she has been refusing all along. She agrees to share the blood of Victor, to help her overcome the impurities of sharing with Milo, a rogue vampire. But this time around, just when she started getting comfortable sharing blood with her boyfriend (Ahem!) and dealing with the visions that came as a bonus, Celia encounters another set of creatures she thought belonged to only legends.
Then there is another group now hunting vampires of which her cousin is a part. We could only pity Celia who has no respite from the constant problems rushing at her from all corners of the world. The Bitten series does not disappoint its predecessor and is steadily in the line of Twilight series. Vampire boyfriend, human woman, shape shifter friend, and other ignorant humans. The underused legends are awoken once again. (used bottle, new wine.)
