Have we beheld how when you're down, life bends we over and shoves a heel in your behind finish customarily to make certain you're respirating in sand? Just when it can't get any worse, it does.
First Bitten takes we true into a fen with Alex. Then a poser starts. Memory gaps, bizarre men, and good - wow - did we giggle a lot being Alex's voyeur. A pristine male of poser saved Alex a night it all incited to carnage, yet wasn't in time to save Carrie. Nothing cuts as low as grief and shame in one manly cocktail.
The grief is so evident and heart-wrenching, we feel it. Samantha Towle's essay drags we right into a thick of it, emotions and all, and we are drawn and repulsed by this story - both hooks so low we customarily can't stop reading.
There is such beauty in this novel, many lines stranded out and finished me postponement to conclude a artistic beauty of certain sentences (gorgeous metaphors) - yet afterwards a passionate tragedy sinks fangs into you, and we are swept along to a Original hell, fearing for Alex, wanting her favourite to save her, customarily to be gripped by dispute and tragedy all over again.
The finale - God what an ending! It's so romantic we consider we spiraled for awhile, reluctant to let it go. As a reader, bending from a initial chapter, I'm prepared to send genocide threats to get a supplement to this novel. There MUST be more, we need more!
This is some-more than romance, it's some-more than paranormal, it's partial thriller, partial poser - and it's such an implausible story we will wish a Nathan of your own.
Awesome overwhelming read! She proves she can do it! we was bewildered by her initial novel and am so gay her essay in this is customarily as original, gripping, emotive and compelling! You have to examination this one! Definitely 5 out of 5 stars!

MY REVIEW
I favourite a cover and primarily suspicion oh a going to be a vampire novel, Oh Wow! we knew it would be good as we examination Samantha's other book The Bringer and we desired that one. This book was most most some-more than a vampire story. Alex is bitten by a Várcolac, that is a vampire-werewolf hybrid.....the thing is women don't customarily survive.....well....Alex does! Which means that she is unequivocally profitable to a Varcolac who apparently wish to reproduce! Alex was "Lucky" to be discovered by a beautiful *swoon* Nathan. Nathan, his father Jack and younger hermit Sol *swoons some-more for Sol* helper her behind to health and offer her protection.
Alex has lots of things to over come such as a fact her best friend/more like a sister Carrie was killed by a Várcolac , Alex also has to come to terms with a fact she can never lapse to her family or friends again, as she would put them in risk with a Várcolacs. alex also has to learn to accept certain traits and "talents" she now has such as she has to splash blood......sure a animal blood that a beautiful Nathan brings her frequently yet a still blood! Alex also has softened hearing, steer and strength too. Alex also finds her self captivated to Nathan, even yet he seems to resent her participation and during times hatred her too, even yet he is a one that saved her. Alex also knows that there is something opposite about Jack, Nathan, and Sol, it turns out that they are shifters.
I unequivocally don't wish to go into a tract and spoil a book for anyone yet we will contend that Alex ends adult being sole out to a rivalry that causes another good detriment of life to occur customarily when she is commencement to trust that she can cope and live with what life has thrown during her.
I picked my excite adult with this book on and put it down for 10 mins to eat tea, afterwards went to bed after still reading it, we truthfully did not, could not put it down. This book finished me pant in shock, lay on a finish of my chair with suspense, tears good adult and my heart pain for certain characters and what happens to them. The book is splendidly created we can suppose a view as good as a beautiful shape-shifter family too *phwoar*
I felt these books were easily, simply on a standard if not improved than a Women of The Otherworld Series by Kelley Armstrong, The Shifter Series by Rachel Vincent, and The Resurrection Series by Dee Tenorio too.
So did we suffer it? Yes Would we examination some-more in a series? Oh Yes! can't wait!! Would we suggest them? Definitely. Must, Must read!

First Bitten is an extraordinary depart from what has turn a muted vampire genre. This book is decidedly different. It's original, smart, well-written, intriguing, and officious sexy. Warning-This examination contains spoilers!
Towle is glorious during formulating passionate tragedy with noted characters. The reader is left breathless after each confront between Alex and Nathan. This book, even with a adult themes, is suitable for a YA assembly as good as a erotic sex is some-more pragmatic than described.
The characters that Towle has crafted are lovable, injured and tellurian notwithstanding any abnormal characteristics. They feel, love, consider and act a approach we design them to. Towle uses those tellurian emotions and actions to serve a tract and also to make a reader feel for a characters. We can empathise with Alex in her detriment of Carrie, and we know a grief she's feeling. Every tension created into this work is felt by a reader.
The universe surrounding a characters is a plausible one. Towle steeps her anticipation in a well-described genuine world. It's fantastical realism, and it's brilliantly done. These are places and people we can describe to.
I consider my favorite thesis of a book is sacrifice. All of a characters have sacrificed something or someone, either for their possess advantage or a advantage of someone else. This thesis is woven via a book in a unequivocally pointed way, highlighted during several times by events. Nathan sacrifices his freedom, his family's reserve for Alex; Dad sacrifices a farm's peace and his family to strengthen Alex; Sol sacrifices his possess life for a adore of both Alex and Nathan; Cal sacrifices Alex to save himself and his family from a weight of his gambling debts, and Alex eventually sacrifices initial herself, afterwards her possess complacency and adore of Nathan to strengthen him from a immorality that is looking for them.
I'm giving this five-stars. we can't wait for a sequel, since after that cliffhanger ending, I'm yearning for more! I'd like to honour a author for crafting such an intelligent, monumental story.
