A New Year's Bite

by Lydia Parks

Nathan gets a visit from his friend, Terra, a detective with the Atlanta police, and is worried by her appearance. She tells him she's frustrated that she hasn't caught the Slasher, a serial killer plaguing the city. As they talk, Nathan uncovers other problems in Terra's her new partner's a jerk, her boyfriend is a wonderful man, but rotten in bed, and her parents want her to bring her new beau to their New Year's party. Helping with Terra's boyfriend is easy. Nathan joins them in the bedroom and gives the young man lessons. And he even helps Terra by posing as her date for the New Year's party. But when he finds one of the Slasher's victims, Nathan is mistaken for the killer. And if that isn't bad enough, at the party he meets an alluring woman who reminds him of the gypsy who got him staked years ago. Will he survive this encounter without giving away his secret?

[Jordan · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not a fan of the cheating aspect of this book. Unlike the first book, where Amy and Billy were essentially on a break after a fight, or the second, where Terra is unattached, this book features Terra having a boyfriend named Sam. It's one thing for them to have sex in front of Sam as a teaching method, but another thing entirely for them to have sex on other occasions without Sam's knowledge - cheating. I know Terra and Nathan are friends, but that doesn't make it okay.
