BITE ME is the first book of Parker Blue's Demon Underworld series for young adults. The main character, Val Shapiro is turning eighteen. She isn't your typical teen though. She's part human, part demon. Her stepfather has tried to help her deal with the darker side by hunting vampires. Some might feel this is too much like "Buffy the Vampire Slayer." I didn't. The demon side of her persona is a constant battle. If she doesn't let it out to kill vampires, she might end up like her father who went insane and committed suicide.
Val comes with additional baggage. Although she has a good relationship with her stepfather, her mother has trouble coping. Her half-sister, Jen, wants to be just like her. The problem with that is her sister is human. When Jen is discovered sneaking out of the house to follow Val on one of her hunts, Val's blamed as a bad influence. She's kicked out of the house. This doesn't stop Jen. In fact, it has the opposite effect.
Val finds a job with the San Antonio Police Department's Special Crimes Unit where she can put her skills to use. Although she is relieved to have a job, she is forced to take on a partner, Dan Sullivan. To add to the mix is a hellhound, Fang. Together, they make an unbeatable team to hunt vampires. But when the vamps target her family, their skills might not be enough to save them.
This story has wall-to-wall action. I loved Val, Dan, and Fang. Can't wait for book two!
