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.
