Book Review: Once Bitten by Tina Glasneck

Order of the Dragon Book 1

Death by accident, vampire by design!

What happens when a romance writer falls overboard into the North Sea? Get ready for a humorous urban fantasy with Once Bitten!

This was supposed to be the cruise that would reignite the spark in my floundering romance writing career. My life changed with an awful splash into the North Sea.

When hypothermia set in, I never expected rescue in the shape of Nessie – yep that Nessie, a dragon. He saved me, but, boy, what a cost.

The human me would have loved to live in a Scottish castle, in the Highlands no less, but something dark lurks here.

This place is full of magic, other supernatural beings that are loyal to Alistair Campbell, the tall, gorgeous dragon shifter.

But, now someone is after me.

Girls are appearing strangled and drained leaving behind vampire markings.

My housemates are giving me the side-eye, like I’d break the cardinal rule in this world: don’t reveal yourself to humans.

And now someone is trying to make sure that I’m wiped out.

Walking undead or not, if I’m going down again, I’m taking this wretched corner of the supernatural world with me.

Read the USA Today bestselling novel, Once Bitten, which will have you chuckling and rooting for the romance writer who got more from her research than just a plot.

Readers who enjoy vampires, dragon shifters, romances set in Scotland, Norse mythology, and ghosts will get a kick out of this paranormal adventure.

My Review:

I love how this author is able to combine historical fact with modern day mystery and pure fantasy. (At least, I think it’s pure fantasy.) I’m so excited to see that we’re coming back to direct interaction with Freya’s dragons and that we get to approach the whole situation from a new direction. I adored Leslie and I loved watching her find her inner warrior and a spine of steel. It felt effortless to learn about this new paranormal society as she experienced it. And as much as I was intrigued by Alistair, I fully support Leslie’s decisions in the end. I cannot wait to see how the author is going to bring everything back full circle.

I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book through Booksprout.
