A Bit of Bite review

A Bit of Bite is a short novella by Cynthia Eden. It was originally part of the Entangled anthology and Eden recently posted it as a free short to the various retailers.

As usual, Eden brings us strong, relatable characters in Ava and Julian. As a very short novella, the relationship between the two characters isn't particularly developed but the chemistry between them is pretty apparent even in such a short story. The action is where this story really excels, in my opinion. Eden managed to pack a great deal of it into this story, making it very fast paced and exciting.

My only complaint was that it felt like it needed just a little more background about Ava's past - it's something that is only mentioned in passing and I would have liked it to be fleshed out a little more. However, as A Bit of Bite was originally written for an anthology, I realize Eden was working under incredibly tight length restrictions so it might have been impossible to add anything more to the story.

If you like short novellas and want a quick paranormal read, I'd recommend A Bit of Bite.
