Meena Harper lost her live-in sweetie, was dating the lord
of demons, and can tell when people can die. Now, her former
boyfriend needs some serious hand-holding, her one true love
seems to be trying to make himself more evil, and her gift
is the same pain-in-the butt it's always been. Oh, and her
brother, Jon, has a bro-crush on her coworker Alaric Wulf,
who seems to be more than a little protective over Meena's
activities.
Looking back, her former job writing for a
romantic soap opera sure seems like the life! Meena Harper
believes that every evil creature has a speck of good for
balance, and she is bound and determined that her coworkers
and bosses of Palatine that Lucien Antonescu, son of Dracula
and lord of demons, has some goodness deep inside. Alaric
thinks she's nuts and wishes she'd just be more careful.
A
great read with fun characters, well-developed tension about
who really is the bad guy, and wonderful plot development,
OVERBITE is another fantastic work by Meg Cabot that will
make a great beach read, hot chocolate read, before-bed
read---really, it's perfect any time!
Meena Harper has a special gift, but it’s only now that
anyone’s ever appreciated it. The Palatine Guard—a powerful
secret demon-hunting unit of the Vatican—has hired her to
work at their new branch in Lower Manhattan. With Meena’s
ability to predict how everyone she meets will die, the
Palatine finally has a chance against the undead.
Sure, her ex-boyfriend was Lucien Antonescu, son of
Dracula, the prince of darkness. But that was before he
(and their relationship) went up in flames. Now Meena’s
sworn off vampires for good . . . at least until she can
prove her theory that just because they’ve lost their souls
doesn’t mean demons have lost the ability to love.
Meena knows convincing her co-workers—including her
partner, Über-demon-hunter Alaric Wulf—that vampires can be
redeemed won’t be easy . . . especially when a deadly new
threat seems to be endangering not just lives of the
Palatine, but Meena’s friends and family as well.
But Meena isn’t the Palatine’s only hope. Father Henrique—
aka Padre Caliente—New York City’s youngest, most charming
priest, has also been assigned to the case.
So why doesn’t Meena—or Alaric—trust him?
As she begins unraveling the truth, Meena finds her
loyalties tested, her true feelings laid bare . . . and
temptations she never even imagined existed impossible to
resist.
This time, Meena may finally have bitten off more than she
can chew.
