I didn't expect to like this book because, honestly, I've burned myself out on vampire books. However, what I apparently have NOT burned myself out on is demons. DEMONS. :-) This book was action-packed and filled with surprises and twists and snarky humor (my favorite kind!) 
 Val really made this story for me. I thought she was tough and not just in a kick-butt fights-vampires kind of way. She has to deal with a ton of personal stuff and she takes it pretty much in stride. When she is kicked out of the house on her 18th birthday, she says "Fine. I can do this." And she does. From finding a job and somewhere to live, Val doesn't give up--she steps up to the challenges that beign half-demon has presented her. Sure, she may never have a good dating relationship in her future, but she's found a powerful outlet in fighting vampires. Val's story is complemented by her snarky side-kick terrier, Fang--a half-hellhound. He was awesome. His humor pervades the story and made me laugh over and over again. 
 Bite Me was really a surprising read for me. I couldn't put it down! I started the book in the morning before work and couldn't help but pick it up on little breaks here and there! The combination of action and humor with a kick-butt heroine and a snarky dog--FABULOUS. I also can't help but love the slightly older protagonist--it really brings an older demographic into the reading scene
