Blog tour~ Bitten Shame Review + Giveaway

with 1 comment

Bitten Shame (Book 2 of the Bend-Bite-Shift Trilogy)

Jill Prescott returned from self-imposed seclusion to help save her best friend Devan’s life. Throwing herself into Devan’s problems and bringing an evil organization to its knees might just be the distraction she needs to keep living without the only man she’s ever loved. Her life changed forever when she was hired to spend a week with Doc Massey. On the day she became a vampire her youthful innocence ended, but Doc’s love rescued her from being consumed by the darkness. The shadow of that former life continues to loom over her, keeping her from realizing her own self-worth. Running from her past only brings her closer to a destiny that is inextricably connected to what she is trying to escape… Every gift has both a reward and a price, because All of it fits…

**My Review is at the bottom of the page**

Kindle / Paperback

About the Author - Olivia Hardin realized early on how strange she was to have complete movie-like character dreams as a child. Eventually she began putting those vivid dreams to paper and was rarely without her spiral notebooks full of those mental ramblings. Her forgotten vision of becoming an author was realized when she connected with a group of amazingly talented and fabulous writers who gave her lots of direction and encouragement. With a little extra push from family and friends, she hunkered down to get lost in the words. She's also an insatiable crafter who only completes about 1 out of 5 projects, a jogger who hates to run, and is sometimes accused of being artistic, though she's generally too much of a perfectionist to appreciate her own work. A native Texas girl, Olivia lives in the beautiful Lone Star state with her husband and their puppy Bonnie. Connect with her Online - Blog * Goodreads * Twitter* Facebook

My Review of Bitten Shame-


I loved this book I read it in only a few hours and I am just crazy about this series! I can't wait for the next on in the series! I enjoyed that instead of being told from the narrative of Devan it was Jill. I thought Jill was such a great character from Witch Way Bends. From the whole book my favorite parts were definitely her past with Doc. I didn't I would enjoy a love story more than Kent and Devan but Olivia topped it with Jill and Doc. 


For me there isn't much to say I just absolutely loved it. This book series is so well written that even if you took away the fantasy aspects of it, it would remain a great book. It had such amazingly complex characters and relationships as well as plot lines. So many books tend to rely on the crutch of a fantasy novel so that you don't have to create a great story just use a stereotype. But that can only take you so far. The Bend, Bite, Shift series will take you above and beyond that and leave you just craving for more. 


With Witches, Vampires, Dhampirs, Faerys and maybe even a half witch Faery how can you go wrong!
