I absolutely love the concept behind 'Just A Bite' by Phoenix Cinders - it's innovative and shows tremendous potential. However, the execution fell short for me. The story description gave more plot than what was delivered, and it took multiple reads to discern who the main characters were. While I appreciated the story's core ideas and enjoyed it enough to read it three times, it lacked the polish and development expected of a fully fleshed-out story. That being said, the final chapter's spicy scene was a highlight! With further expansion and refinement, this could be the start of something great, but as it stands, it feels more like a concept idea rough draft than an actual story itself. Nevertheless, I'm excited to see where the author takes this series, and I'll be reading more of their work.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
30% in, and there's already 1) am offensive term for mixed people, 2) over the top college-bro-sy vibes paired with a super casual tone I don’t enjoy, 3) writing that doesn't feel polished or edited much at all, and 4) too many POVs, two of them from characters that weren’t even hinted at in the blurb.
