Geneva "Neva" Ross doesn't want to die. But now that she's been turned into a werewolf against her will, she'll do anything to protect her family and friends…even if that means taking her own life.
After witnessing Neva's leap from a high ledge, Travis Williamson-a Changeling with a dark past-uses his powers to save her life. He feels a connection to the strong-willed woman whose eyes flash that familiar Changeling green. While Neva is hospitalized, Travis risks everything to kidnap her, knowing the approaching full moon will put everyone in jeopardy.
Bickering constantly to hide their growing attraction, Travis and Neva run from the authorities…and from Neva's sinister sire, Meredith de la Ronde. Meredith delights in creating new shape-shifters and compelling them to do her dark bidding; now Neva must join Meredith's murderous wolf pack…or die.
Intensely suspenseful with deliciously sexy twists, this paranormal romance-the first in (the title of series)-intertwines sensual passion with an epic, thrilling battle between good and evil.
My Review:
I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Neva has been turned into a werewolf against her will. And now Neva is afraid that when she turns into a werewolf or a monster that she will go around hurting and killing the people she loves as well innocent ones that she does not know. Instead of going a killing spree Neva decides that the best thing for her to do is to kill herself. If she is dead then she can't hurt anyone. Neva doesn't want to be a monster and doesn't know that she can be a werewolf and not hurt anyone. The person that turned her into a werewolf is a very controlling person and will kill whenever it suits her to do so. Neva doesn't want to be like her and doesn't know that she doesn't have to be. She can be a werewolf and not hurt anybody.
Neva meets a lone werewolf who prefers to be called a Changeling. Travis has been a loner for a very long time. Something happened in his past that caused him to run away from his own pack. He prefers to be by himself but when he runs into Neva he can't let her die so he saves her life. Neva is very upset with him because he won't let her die. But she finally accepts her fate and learns that she doesn't have to be a monster. Travis tries to teach her all the things she needs to know to be a werewolf or Changeling as her prefers to be called that is.
First Bite has a lot of twist and turns that will keep you up way past your bedtime. It will take a hold of you from the very beginning and it will not dare let you go until you have read the last word. All of the characters are just wonderful. They pull you in and you feel as if you are right there with them. You get lost in their world and you don't even know that yours even exist anymore. Neva and Travis pull you into all of their arguing one minute and then the next they are staring in one another's eyes falling in love with each other. First Bite is a great start to a wonderful new series. I can't wait for the next book.
