Reborn to Bite

Rate this book
The vampires took Sabine's life for a grand experiment. They turned her into a vampire against her will. When they forced her newest friends to cast a resurrection spell to bring her back, her soul was locked into a vampire body, recreating a monster of legend.

The vampires thought killing Sabine after that would be as easy as putting a stake in her chest and burying her.

They were wrong.

Sabine will have to protect her friends while seeking revenge, and prove to everyone, including herself, that she is more than just Reborn to Bite.

Sabine’s life has taken a turn for the worse. A powerful vampire turns her against her will in order to use her in a sacrificial ritual…with her as the sacrifice. How exciting! She gets to die twice in one day, and she’s less than thrilled, but, somehow, she survives.

This was a rip-roaring start to a fast-paced, vampire novel that has a little bit of everything (action/adventure, romance, thriller, and, of course, paranormal). There are twists and turns to this novel that kept me guessing. I liked Sabine. Her struggle with being a vampire and all that entailed came across as sincere, although similar to many other vampire books I’ve read. It took her a bit to realize that her childhood crush might not be the soulmate she thought he was. All of this while she’s discovering the true extent of her powers. As the novel progresses, the challenges of trying to protect the ones who matter most to her, and stop Neville, the evil villain of the novel, and his minions makes her question her path. However, like a true heroine, she persists.

At times, I felt like her successes in overcoming some of the obstacles were a little too easy, and I prefer to follow one person’s thoughts through a novel. It’s definitely a series, although the author doesn’t leave you with a cliffhanger. For that, I give him kudos.

All in all, a fun story that promises more fun in the future.

This story is way outside my normal reading experience but I read it on a recommendation. Set in an “underground” San Francisco scene, it is populated with all kinds of strange characters, vampires, witches, werewolves, etc. In spite of Sabine, the lead character, being a unique kind of vampire, I found myself relating to and rooting for her. She was smart, funny, and, for a vampire, principled. Other characters were strong and well defined. The writing is crisp and the story line is interesting and flows well. It was an interesting off-beat read for me, and while I can’t say I am a convert to this genre, I’m sure people who do read these kinds of stories would love it and rate it a 4 or 5.

A Vampire Story that Doesn't Suck

Vampires, witches, werewolves, a strong female lead with lots of humor. It’s a fast-paced story set in a secret, underground world in San Francisco. Sabine is bitten on Halloween and loses her life and her family and everything she’s ever known. As soon as she wakes from the dead, she’s immediately staked and “killed” again. But that’s not the end for her or the story.

Sabine meets a motley crew of others looking for justice and answers as she pursues the vampire who bit her in the first place. Along the way, she encounters a strange world peopled by monsters who, at times, seem more human than humans.

I wonder if there will ever be a #2 in this series - there should be as the story is original and interesting enough for it to continue.
The story nearly lost me when Trent was introduced - I hate the Alpha werewolf character and this character alone can ruin a book for me, still, the m/c was strong enough to get through this with only the loss of 1 star.
Let me know when #2 comes out so I can get my order in

My goal with this story was to explore a character and situation that I had not yet read about, but a story with similar entertainment value to many of my favorites.

I drew inspiration from the early adventures of Anita Blake (author Laurel K. Hamilton), Jane Yellowrock (author Faith Hunter), Kitty the werewolf (author Carrie Vaughn), the Spider (author Jennifer Estep), and Merit (author Chloe Neill), as well as others.

If you've been looking for a story that explodes with action, sizzles with suspense, teases with intrigue, and has just enough romance to warm the heart and get the motor running, then this story will not disappoint.

A real page turner, a genuine pleasure to read. I warn you though, this may not be dark enough for many vampire fans. The main character, Sabine, a super powerful vampire variant may be a bit too pollyanna-esk for some. I, myself, found it to be a bit of a relief after the cruelty and gore that have been increasingly doled out in place of plot. Shock, preposterously graphic sex, and wife porn, can only be carried so far beyond which you have to shake at the utter stupidity of it. Reborn to Bite is a big step back to the days when books told stories.
