The Ledger

Summary (from Lynsay Sands‘ website):
Etienne Argeneau’s three hundred years of bachelorhood were at an end. Either that, or he’d be forever alone. He could only “turn” one human in his lifetime, and most of his kind reserved that power for creating a life mate. If he turned the wrong woman . . . But what choice did he have? He had to save Rachel Garrett. He didn’t know her very well, but the beautiful coroner had saved his life. To save hers he would make her immortal.

What I think…
Ehmm. I have to say, I enjoyed “A Quick Bite” more. Way more, unfortunately. While Lissianna and Greg’s story  was capable to keep me intrigued of the outcome of their fate despite of its predictabilty, I found myself  ready to put down “Love Bites” before I reminded myself that I should probably finish it because sometimes (more than I like), a second book can be quite less satisfying than the first one.

Okay. Etienne Argeneau. A vampire who is the creator of a popular vampire-slaying games. Rachel Garrett. A coroner whose morgue becomes the transit of Etienne twice as he becomes the target to be terminated by a madman. Mmmhhmmm… Not really interesting.

I also got bored – seriously bored, even – before I even reached one-fourth of the book. The stakes aren’t high, that’s why.

I have to say, I’m disappointed. “Love Bites” feels too much like standard romance with vampirism theme overused – too often I feel like it’s forced or something. This book lacks the relaxing flow that “A Quick Bite” has.  

It’s a good thing that I started with “A Quick Bite” then, because if you think that I’ve given up on Argeneau series, think again.
