When Finn's mother Deirdre shows up out of the blue, Gin knows something is up. But there is a part of Finn deep down and well hidden that wants to be loved and he's determined to believe his mother despite Gin's misgivings.

With Finn spending more and more time with Deirdre, it's left to Gin and Bria to get to the bottom of what she's doing in Ashland and stop her.



First of all, Bitter Bite is entertaining urban fantasy in the way that most books in this series are entertaining urban fantasy. There is nothing boring about this book. But I have a problem and maybe (probably) it won't be a problem for anyone else.

With each book, the bad guys get tougher, the challenges get harder and Gin takes more punishment somehow managing to survive. I wonder how long it can go on before we have the shark jumping moment.

Far be it for me to tell the author what to write, but I'm wondering if perhaps instead of ever more villainous villains it's time to pare back the series and perhaps write a few smaller stories.

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed the book, I just don't know if the series can continue on down this path for much longer and a slightly different focus might breath new life into it.

Many thanks to Pocket Books and Edelweiss for providing me with this ARC
