Plot:

Sarah Dearly was going on a blind date that her friend Amy set up for her.
The guy is clearly a lunatic, because he bites her on the first date, literally.
He also gets killed by vampire hunters.
Yeah, the guy’s a desperate vampire.
Sarah has to run for her life when the hunters discover the bite marks, and she runs into a 600-year-old vampire who wants to commit suicide.
He’s helping her, though, and not just with the hunters.
Sarah would be dead if it wasn’t for him, because she needed his blood to survive as a vampire.
But a life as a vampire wasn’t what Sarah wanted; she’d do anything to be a normal human again.

After a while she meets a guy named Quinn at a bar, and she tells him that she’s a vampire (good move, Sarah!) and he tells her his little secret too; he’s a vampire hunter.
So now she’s running from a vampire hunter who knows her name and what she looks like, and she can never rest.
At least not until he becomes a vampire too…


Review:

Bitten & Smitten captured me from the very beginning.
It was so funny, I actually laughed out loud many times.

Sarah can be a little bitchy sometimes, but her heart is pure.
She saves her reality with lots of denial at first, then with lots of sarcasm.
I don’t really buy her so-called love to Thierry, just that she thinks that he’s very hot, mysterious and hard to get.

Thierry is a private man, with not so much of a personality.
He’s kind of boring; I guess his personality disappeared with his age.
Though, he has his moments when he doesn’t understand what Sarah’s talking about.
I would say that he really doesn’t belong in a relationship with Sarah; sure it can be a great fling with both of them, but nothing more.
But seriously, Sarah’s an outgoing woman who knows what she wants, and Thierry?
Well he just wants to die.
I don’t say that he should die; it would be nice to have him around, just not as Sarah’s boyfriend.

Quinn on the other hand is great for Sarah in my opinion.
Sure he was going to kill her at first sight, but he didn’t know that vampires are like humans in some ways.
There are good vampires and bad vampires, just like there are good humans and bad humans.
He was raised to think that all vampires were bad, so it’s not really his fault.
Honest now, wouldn’t Sarah and Quinn make a cute couple?
Even Amy thinks that.

Amy is a very unique character, she believes in true love and that it will last forever.
She might have made a mistake with Sarah’s blind date, but it really wasn’t her fault.
Her reaction when Sarah says that she’s a vampire is priceless.
First she’s about to scream and then she’s super-jealous.

Bitten & smitten really is well written, and very funny.
The characters came alive with their personality, well… most of them.
I assume that Thierry has his personality in his own way… the private way, but I still don’t like him.
I would like to give this book five stars of five, it's really brilliant and really deserves it.
5/5:
