wish I could give a 1.5 anyway I read this as a joke and cuz of the webtoon adaptation and the book was so ass so brainrot yet I still ate it up so I guess that's something but again there were many plot holes and the brother had absolutely no character he was just there the dad too, there were so many characters like that and there were so many unnecessary paragraphs I skipped a lot it could've been a much shorter book. It was very predicatable but I suppose I like that with these types of books. There's so many things that didn't make sense but you don't really read a book like this for it to make sense. It was entertaining but dont read it expecting Shakespeare!! The webtoon is much better

I read this on Wattpad when I was twelve and then proceeded to reread it like 80 times but now its not free anymore and it makes me sad :(

So much about this book bothered me but at least i was entertained

Well, this is clearly a Wattpad story and I honestly feel like that’s enough of a statement to summarize the whole book and enough to tell whether you’ll like it or not.

Everything is so revolved around the main character that every other character besides, maybe the love interest, feels like a plot device or opportunity to show how special the main character is. The one time he faces genuine consequences for his terrible actions is when his best friend “abandons” him because he cheated with the best friend’s boyfriend. This is, of course, resolved by being gay publicly. Forget the fact that she feels like his shadow and that she’s never considered as a person beyond being his friend or how he betrayed her trust multiple times. He’s gay — that’s all that matters now.

To be fair, the punishment for attempted murder and having a collection of weapons made solely to kill a certain group of beings is having you toss out the weapons and no Xbox for the week. Prison is preposterous. He would easily escape prison, quick don’t let him go to any college parties this semester. That’ll teach him. You’re telling me they just… don’t have any form of imprisonment for supernatural creatures because it’s difficult? How is this society run? This is possibly the most interesting thing that happens in this book. And who really cares that you murdered your own brother when you can be gay? Trauma clearly doesn’t. He was definitely radiating heterosexual vibes, anyway.

I really enjoyed this! it was funny every now and then with the snarky comments between Mason and Kieran, had the typical 'enemies to lovers' in high school form, The perfect plot twist with Cedric and Mason (i actually cried for Mason and Kieran). And the ending was absolute cinema with Maria finding out about all three of them and the classic cut off. Would 100% recommend to anyone who likes this genre!!

I read this after reading part of the Webtoon. The Webtoon is so much better. This book obviously is a Wattpad novel, and it reads like one. There's a lack of editing, fine-tuning of plot, etc. It was fun though, and I did read it relatively quickly. I don't think I would've finished it or picked it up without first seeing it as a comic though. I did find a lot of parts boring or slow.

[Kastiel]

won't be rating this one bc it would have to be a one star and i dont want to do that😔 it's as wattpad as it gets, following all the typical schemes and possesing this special flatness of the setting, characters, action... not to mention the actual typos and massive holes in a plot that already doesn't make much sense (bro's punishment for attempted murder and proven possesion of [should be illegal but they dont have any law system] weaponry is literally no phone for a week. oh and then they let murder slide too, i guess they thought it through)

it's important to keep in mind it was originally just a wattpad story and i knew what i was getting myself into - the only thing that actually icks me is the fact it's not free to read anymore, falling under some wattpad coin program, which is bs. if the author wants to make money off a book, they should at least make the effort to fix the typos

it did, however, prove a point to me - i should never, under any circumstances, deprive myself of gay vampires, because that results in searching for them in the darkest corners of the internet

I loved the Webtoon, so I was really excited to experience this story in its original novel format. Unfortunately, it ended up being exactly what I would expect from a Wattpad story.

The writing was rough, and at times it was genuinely difficult to get through. The only reason my rating isn’t lower is because I already had such a strong attachment to the characters from the Webtoon. Being able to picture them as their illustrated counterparts made the reading experience a little less painful.

I know this story started on Wattpad before being adapted, but the simplistic plot and dialogue work far better in a visual medium.

If you’re interested in this story, I would strongly recommend reading the Webtoon instead or checking out the graphic novel adaptation when it releases.

Thank you Netgalley for an ARC of this book.

Thank you to wattpad and webtoons for the amazing book mail including vote me and love bites! I ate this up! This book is pitched as twilight if Edward and Jacob end up together and you know what I see it!

This book is cringy, messy, and a good freaking time. Kieran, our vampire, and his best friend Cella are in high school when new student who gives Kieran weird feelings shows up. He’s a wolf. There’s drama, treating, betrayal. Cella and Mason date at one point, but no one wants Bella anymore LOL omg the names. Bella cella whatever.

There’s some obvious changes to the store so it’s not identical, there’s feuding families, and yeah I just had a fun time and I love having a fun time

3.5 stars. I really enjoyed this forbidden teenage romance. I feel like it perfectly captured the annoying and also pure essence of a teenage romance haha and who doesn’t love a vampire and a werewolf!? Were there moments were I wanted to swan dive into the book and smack the s*** out of these two? Absolutely! But I also loved them together and thought it was an enjoyable story. The event that happened at the end kind of surprised me in how it ended and how it was also just moved past but overall it was a good read!

Estoy leyendo el webtoon (love bites) y me encanta, es de mis favs.
Yo no sabia que el webtoon estaba basado en un libro (Bite me) y cuando vi esto, definitivamente tenia que leerlo para saber con mas detalles la historia de Mason y Kieran✨
Fue muy entretenido, tiene mucho romance, eso me sorprendió, Mason y Kieran son muy lindos (a pesar de todo el caos que sucedió jaja) también hubo un plot twist que no me esperaba y me sorprendió tambien omg (no lo digo por spoiler) pero en general una historia muy facil de leer y entretenida 🧚🏻‍♀️✨

It was pretty okay, like a pretty okay read to ease into reading again hahah. Idk what I would rate it, like 1.5-2 or something? I mostly read it bc I had started reading the webtoon and I was curious how it was going to end. It did make me want to read more werewolf/vampire pairings tho?

[Viki · Rating 3 out of 5]

I wanted to quit reading more than a few times and I just... didn't. I finished reading it instead.

Most of it was just me - I am not actually a fan of YA and I only read it once in a while to see if that's still true, since I used to like it. I know my personality doesn't lend itself easily to teenage shenanigans but hope springs eternal, right? Maybe this book will remind me why young love is so precious? And it just didn't...

I enjoyed the lack of spice, at least. I think sex happened, off-page, but I can't even be sure. Making out was as far as it went, and that at least YA has going for it.

The vampires and even werewolves also helped keep me going. Most books these days subscribe to the "garlic, sun, crosses, all a myth" school of thinking. Like once upon a time, that was a thing and soooo many years later you still have to address it, even though Edward sparkled in the sun for so many years you'd think people would actually forget the original stereotypes. Feels like another "literary no one" meme.

But Edward was definitely closer to what we have here than Dracula and as much as I like Twilight, I don't mean it in a complimentary way. It wasn't as angst-filled and teenage-drama-y as I feared, but it was still confined within that space. As in, the vampire (I also am bad at remembering names) didn't care about high school or popularity but he did go to a party the legitimate way and there was a drinking game... just nah. Not for me. They had their own space where they could make out in peace but sneaking around like teenagers is a saying for a reason.

The species war was... something. It gave everything a very Romeo and Juliet vibes and it meant that instead of Mason going "mate!" on the vampire, they had reasons to drag everything out to fill a whole book. Not in a good way, either. The vampire was, naturally, the angsty one and his hot and cold was really getting on my nerves. The final nail in the coffin for me liking how their relationship di, basically, anything, was the best friend. I am not going into details but I was very dissaspointed how she was treated. I didn't like it when she got all "the world doesn't revolve around you, bestie, boys can like me" to a vampire about a werewolf who were literally fated mates so yeah, she was annoying at times but she deserved to be treated better by both guys.

The final speech didn't help. Obviously, the author wrote this at 14 and as a Watppad read, this would be pure cinema, 5 stars, this is amazing. As a read right now, it was kind of akward and not interesting enough to really enjoy but not bad enough to make me quit, which is its own kind of purgatory.

She said her writing is much better now, which I can't assess but I would say that writing didn't change the story and the story is about a paranormal forbidden romance, where vampire parents (and the clan) are pretty dorky and nice and loving and the one real conflict in the whole book actually sucked, like not written badly-sucked but like I didn't expect this low-key, harmless story to take things that far and it made the ending feel a bit out of place.

So let's just say I like this book exists and I can mostly understand why some people might like it but it wasn't my type of read and had my YA fill for... the rest of the year?

Synopsis⭐
(Werewolves and vampires don't mix, or that's what Kieran Callisto, a seventeen-year-old vampire, has believed all his life - until he falls for the Alpha's son.

*****

When Kieran meets his new classmate, Mason Kane, he bristles with an unexplainable disdain. Soon it becomes apparent why: Mason is a werewolf. But when a fight turns into a sudden kiss that neither expects, Kieran's feelings for Mason turn to attraction in an instant. None of it makes sense - vampires and werewolves are supposed to be mortal enemies, so why does Kieran find Mason so irresistible? He knows that each kiss is dangerous, each bite is unpredictable...)💙

Review/Rating⭐
Rating: 4.1|5💙
This is the third Wattpad book I've finished reading. I really love the enemies-to-lovers trope in this book, but there's some ickk part in the story, but I'm not going to tell you that because it's going to be a spoiler if I do. I do think their love for each other estimated quickly, which I was not expecting because the first book I read was slow burn, like really, really slow, but in this book, uhmm flash i guess. If you're planning to read this one, don't expect the high-quality story you see or have read in Kindle or other physical books with new york time best selling books. I just based my rating on my feelings, not on the plot, grammar, or mistakes I saw, but just the feelings I felt while reading this book. This has smut or not I mean, they definitely did the deed, but it's not explained or given any details, just the kissing, you know what I mean, its smut but not really smut.💙
I'd recommend it to any bl lovers out there who wants to read mlm fantasy with an enemies-to-lover trope but less smut, more story.💙

I wanna read the inheritance game after listening to haunting adeline.💙

Ho scoperto questa storia per puro caso su Wattpad, grazie al recente adattamento in formato Webtoon. Visto che al momento sono disponibili solo i primi capitoli, la curiosità ha avuto la meglio (dovevo sapere come andava a finire!) e mi sono tuffata nella lettura della webnovel originale.

L'inizio mi ha conquistata: la scrittura è vivace e coinvolgente, e la voce narrante di Kieran – sarcastica, tagliente, accattivante – riesce a dare subito ritmo e personalità alla storia. Tuttavia, proseguendo, ho iniziato a notare alcune debolezze che hanno inevitabilmente ridimensionato il mio entusiasmo iniziale.

Il primo elemento che mi ha lasciata perplessa è la gestione del personaggio di Marcella. Il motivo per cui Mason inizia a frequentarla risulta piuttosto debole e poco approfondito, e il fatto che Kieran scelga di non rivelarle la relazione con Mason fino all’ultimo momento mina la credibilità del loro legame, che viene presentato come una profonda amicizia.

Anche il ruolo di Cedric, il fratello di Kieran, mi è sembrato troppo stereotipato, poco sfaccettato, quasi un pretesto narrativo più che un personaggio autentico. E la scelta di Kieran di lasciare Mason “per proteggerlo” dalle minacce di Cedric mi è parsa poco convincente: ci sarebbero state molte altre opzioni (tipo... parlarne con il padre?).

Nel complesso, si percepisce un grande potenziale, soprattutto nella prima parte. Ma la seconda metà dà l’impressione di essere stata sviluppata con meno cura e pianificazione, quasi affrettata.

Peccato davvero, perché le premesse c’erano tutte.
L’adattamento Webtoon, seppur ancora agli inizi, ha già introdotto alcuni cambiamenti interessanti – come l’aggiunta di una backstory che spiega l’odio cieco di Cedric nei confronti dei licantropi – e sembra promettere un lavoro di rielaborazione capace di colmare alcune delle fragilità presenti nella versione originale. Speriamo bene!

This story follow Kieran (a vampire) and Mason (a werewolf) as they navigate high school, deal with their initial dislike of each other, and a centuries old feud between vampire and werewolves. This is kinda like if Twilight had been about Jacob and Edward being in love with each other instead of with Bella.

There were some fun things about this novel, Annalise as a side character shined. Not sure I am okay with how Cella was treated in this and I think that could have used more nuance/exploration. But I did think the friendships were great.

I think the timing of this novel is off at times. At times we are rushing through the story, other times the pacing is good, and then others it is slow. For me it made for a somewhat disjointed reading experience.

I think there were good things about the story and I did love how hard Mason fought for Kieran, his dedication to his snarky vampire was cute and refreshing. Kieran is a complicated character and it was good to see him challenge his prejudices and work towards something new. His fears were understandable even if at some points you wanted to shake him for his choices.

Overall, an interesting take on vampire falls for werewolf. I think those that love enemies to lovers with snark will enjoy this! Thank you to the publisher for providing an advance copy via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

[Aleja Uribe · Rating 3 out of 5]

El libro es bastante entretenido, no lo voy a negar, me lo acabe como en 3 días (eso no pasa cuando estoy ocupada), pero ajá, yo quería saber qué más pasaba con Kieran y Mason y de nuevo, no voy a mentir, me gustaron mucho y se me hizo bonita la relación.

Pero todo lo anterior no evitó que notara que al libro le faltaban muchas cosas. Los personajes podrían haberse desarrollado mejor, el romance también pudo haber estado mejor, había cosas que sobraban y varias situaciones se podrían haber evitado usando la lógica, había otras formas de generar tensión y drama que no implicaran decisiones estúpidas de los personajes, y si, hablo de los adultos.

Pero bueno, le doy un poco de crédito a la historia ya que según mis cálculos, la autora era menor de edad cuando lo escribió entonces realmente no puedo esperar una obra maestra, y no, no estoy demeritando a los adolescentes, solo que realmente el vocabulario y entendimiento general de muchas cosas de los adolescentes no es equiparable al de un adulto, entonces por eso entiendo que no supiera muchas veces como desarrollar o desenredar alguna situación.

En general, si disfrutan a los vampiros y hombres lobo y quieren una lectura ligera, si se las recomiendo porque entretenida de leer sí es!

Thank you Wattpad Books and NetGalley for this eARC, these opinions are my own. I love a vampire werewolf enemies book! And this this is a queer enemies to lovers sign me right up! Kieran is a seventeen year old high school student who also happens to be a vampire. His dad his the chief of the local clan. Things are going as normal until a new kid shows up in his art class. New kid’s name is Mason and Kieran feels an instant dislike, a kind he has never felt before. Everything about Mason sets him off. But yet at the same time there’s a different kind of tension pulling them together too. When Kieran comes across Mason injured in the woods, he finds that Mason is a werewolf, there kinds do not mix or get along. Despite that Kieran stays by Mason’s side and it leads to a surprising kiss, an attraction is born. But they are meant to be sworn enemies can they keep up appearances when everything inside them yearns to be together? With everything at stake they’ll have to choose between their heads or their hearts. But when the consequences could mean death which will they choose? Alicia Wallace writes a fun and quick read that was entertaining and enjoyable! I enjoyed both Kieran and Mason and their dislike turned to like! A sweet lighthearted read!

*** I received an ARC of this book from Booktrovert in exchange for my honest review. ***

Vampires! Werewolves! At odds. In the Pacific Northwest. High school students who run fast. A love triangle.
Can anyone say….Twilight?

The author knows what she’s about, acknowledges the comparison early on, pokes fun at it, then gets back to the story. From there, we get back to the serious focus of the story. Kieran is a vampire. His best friend, Marcella is human. The new kind at school, Mason, is a werewolf. When Kieran first meets Mason, an immediate dislike prickles his skin. Kieran has reasons for hating werewolves. His brother, Cedric, also harbors a deep hatred for werewolves. Mason knows instinctually that he’s met his mate, but mistakenly believes it’s Marcella.

Eventually, this enemies-to-lovers story evolves as the reasons why the vampires hate the werewolves becomes clear. Mason realizes his error, but fear of reprisals keeps the boys “in the closet” as it were. The angst and sweet discovery were poignant. The banter was quippy. I enjoyed the journey and the ending. I especially enjoyed that it’s a standalone, with a satisfying conclusion. Well worth the read.

4.5 ⭐️

I genuinely enjoyed this book!

I’ve always been someone who enjoys a book without much plot once in a while and is more character driven. Because this book did feel like it was lacking an actual plot—besides Kieran and Mason’s relationship—until near the end when Cedric came into play.

This felt like a cozy up at night type of read. A palate cleanser.

I loved Masons character. How he just said whatever he wanted and the efforts he put into his and Kieran’s relationship. The shed. The tent and flowers.

Kieran’s character was probably my favorite. The way he holds his love for his mom through empty pots and hangings on the wall is cute. His relationship with Casper was adorable. I loved their interactions.

They both definitely had some issues, like kissing each other while hiding that fact from Cella, ultimately leading to friendship issues.

Some aspects of the story felt rushed while others felt a little dragged out. I feel like more could have been given if it was dual POV.

I really wish it had been dual pov because I would have loved to read from Masons pov and see his inner monologue.

Overall, I do recommend this book if you enjoy YA vampire and werewolf stories!!

Now it’s time to read the webtoon

[Rhyan Nicole · Rating 3 out of 5]

I’m still writing my review for Vicious, but in the meantime here is my review of this Wattpad story I read.

Like many, I picked this up because I’m reading the Webtoon adaptation, Love Bites, and kinda wanted to scratch the itch of “what’s going to happen next”. Of course, the two are different in some ways, but it did in fact scratch that itch.

Now this story wasn’t the most well written, with some clunky dialogue and a couple misspelled words here and there. At points the characters annoyed me and their actions made little sense, BUT I didn’t step into this expecting anything beyond that. Wattpad writers don’t have access to professional editors and it is a place for young writers to get their start.

There were some broader issues, like with the cheating plotline and progression of Mason and Kieran’s relationship, but I think the author has potential. With some workshopping it could be the first published Klance fanfiction (I don’t know if one already exists or if this was intended to be Klance fanfiction).

I recommend this for fans of romance, vampires, werewolves, Klance, and cheesy wattpad stories.

Twilight, but make Edward and Jacob fall in love instead. I JUMPED on the opportunity to read this, and it did not disappoint.
Though I do see the vague similarities of twilight in the book, with the quick mention of it, I really do see the immense differences. It's its own story with loving someone you shouldnt, taking the fall, fighting for it, and becoming who you want to be. Along with a WHOOOLLLEEE lot of drama omg. The teen drama was unreal lmao.
Mason and Kieran are honestly so cute and undeniably a couple I was rooting for, thouuggghhh it was super messy with the...overlapping with his bestie, but YA KNOW DETAILS!!(They get with the program)
Overall I liked the story. It was a lot tbh and a bit...weird in certain aspects of pacing and the plot but enjoyable nonetheless.
The gays win yet again.

(And tbh, twilight would indeed be better if Edward and jacob were together, just saying ~♡)
