Stolen by Merrill Gemus

Love the concept, but the story is too short - Bitten and Stolen should be 1 book. Also, the book has some other VERY annoying issues. E.g., Characters don't do obvious things like call each other when they need to talk. Duh! Pick up the phone if you need to talk to someone. You don't just pace around their home hoping they'll show up. ALSO - EDIT THE FREAKIN' BOOK!!! Even a casual read out loud after you haven't looked at the manuscript in a day will alert you to many of the problems. When in doubt of your own skills, use the grammar and spell checker on your computer! Repeated uses of THAN instead of THEN, and words in sentences are jumbled up so that they are ridiculously incomprehensible. These things are so distracting that they seriously impede the reader's enjoyment of the story.
