I read this book not realising it was book two in the series. However this did not detract any enjoyment from the book. Lots happening, plenty of drama but massive amounts of humour. I loved Imogene's character and will go and read book one to help understand the story background and character dynamics. Sara Dobie Bauer is a new author to me and I'm honestly glad I have found her. Good humour, feisty female vampires, Nicholas the sexy specialist and a baby thrown in, recipe for book perfection. |
Why you should read it: Quirky, snarky, and hilariously irreverent. This book starts soon after the first book ends and at first it was hard for me to get into because I hadn’t read the first book (didn’t know there was one) so I was a bit lost. I took a few weeks away from it and started again and I’m so glad I did. After Imogene helps her best friends, Celia and Ian, hook up in the first book, they find out that somehow, Celia is pregnant with Ian’s child. It’s the first time that a vampire has been able to conceive a child with a human so the vampire council sends Lord Nicholas to document Celia’s progress for their records. But all the while, Imogene is sure that Nicholas is hiding something and she’s determined to figure it out before the baby’s arrival. All the characters were personalities unto themselves and super charming to boot. Imogene is a spitfire with all her crazy issues and hangups while Nicholas tries to be a gentleman but then we find out he’s a Casanova deep down *swoon*. The supporting characters played key roles in the story and added extra depth and plot progression and it was such fun to watch everyone interact in this crazy novel. Sometimes I wanted to shake Imogene and Nicholas and tell them to just get it on already! But then the back and forth pull they had with each other increased my anticipation and made the story more satisfying at the end because all good things come to those who wait *wink*. This was definitely an amusing read. I enjoyed all the twists and turns and the infinite laughs. Definitely give this a try if you’re into paranormal romance and humor. Rating: 4.5 Stars |
This is a great book with a wonderful story and well developed characters. This book will keep you reading long into the night. If you are looking for a great book, then you need to read this book. I am looking forward to reading the next book by this great author. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced reader’s copy of this book. The free book held no determination on my personal review. |
Bite Somebody Else is a comedy carefully put together around a small group of vampires and one human that now find themselves a family. Celia and Ian are getting ready for their baby and everyone around them are still in disbelief. Celia's best friend is Imogene and they have an amazing bond. Lord Nicholas is called in to help with the pregnancy since no other vampire has ever given birth before. I loved Imogene's character. She is non-apologetic and curses up a storm. She is comfortable with her life and doesn't see a need to change it. She is also a bad ass that will do anything to protect her friends. Then Nicholas comes to town and she just knows that there is more going on than what he has told everyone. Lord Nicholas is a vampire on a mission. He is brought in to help Celia with her baby But along the way he finds Imogene very interesting. Nicholas is not a stuffy as he seems and he has a secret that he is trying to keep from everyone. I have to admit that I did not read book one before reading this book but I didn't find that I had any trouble understanding the dynamic of the bonds between all the characters. This book was extremely funny and a great read. Sara Dobie Bauer did a great job with Imogene's character. She really grew throughout the story. (And I loved the baby's first word.) I liked how Sara made their world really normal and they had relationship issues like everyone else. (Especially when the ex's come back to town.) |
My Thoughts - 5 out of 5 Unicorns - I loved it!!! ***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of this book, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I have bought my own copy of this book…well the whole series because it is awesome!! The cover is cartoonish, and it goes with the theme from book 1! I like it a lot! This is the 2nd book in the series, and it is for adults only due to the steamy content and violence. I highly recommend reading the series in order because it is just outstanding humor, and you will be missing out if you don’t! The characters are just awesome….all of them!!! This is Imogene’s story, but all of our favorites are in this book too! There is tons going on in the book with the baby, and the specialist and all the drama he brings with him. Imogene and Nicholas are explosive together in so many ways. Of course this book has just as much humor as book 1 did which makes me love it! Sara does a fantastic job weaving her tail full of adventure, debauchery, humor, and yes treachery. I couldn’t book the book down! I highly recommend this book and the series as a whole to any vamp lovers who loves humor mixed in perfectly! I hope I don’t have to wait long for the next book because I can’t wait to read it! |
I have to admit up front that when I started reading this book, I wasn’t sure I was going to like it. I haven’t read the first one in the series, and it took me a little bit to figure out the players. Add to that, I wasn’t sure I was really going to like Imogene. Well, imagine my surprise when it didn’t take long to get completely hooked on all the characters. They are all so very interesting, and the love they felt for each other was obvious. Along with that, I really became engrossed in the plot; I couldn’t wait to find out what was up with the baby. This means, of course, that the book was well-written, had a great plot, and had great characters. The only tiny thing that bothered me was that Imogene was just a little too over the top at times. She was a great character, but as immature as she was, I don’t know how she could run a successful business. However, this book was great fun and I enjoyed it quite a bit once I got past the beginning. Highly recommend! Thanks to NetGalley and World Weaver Press/Broad Universe for the e-copy of the book which I voluntarily reviewed. |

Imogene and Celia were at their favorite dive bar The Drift Inn and Celia was talking about her upcoming wedding. Celia and Imogene are vampires. Celia is pregnant by her human fiance. Ian. Celia was “ special” even for a vampire. Imogene was a blood dealer. Wharf was Imogene’s maker and her sex buddy as well as she sold blood to him. Imogene had met Wharf when she was twenty three and homeless in Miami. Imogene met the specialist Dr. Rayna Savage had called in about Celia- Nicholas . Imogene cut in while he was dancing with Dr. Savage . Imogene thought Nicky as she called him was handsome. But she didn’t trust him even if he was a vampire. Imogene had mixed emotions about Nicholas between really wanting to see him naked and really wanting to punch him in the face. Nicolas came to Imogene about buying blood and she asked Nicholas if he wanted to have sex and Nicholas said he wasn’t interested in her. Imogene couldn’t figure it out guys were always interested in her since she was thirteen. Dr. Sawyer’s boyfriend Dean refused to let Nicholas stay any longer in their home once he learned “ Rain” and Nicholas had been lovers and Nicholas had painted the nude painting of the doctor in the house. Nicholas ended up moving in with Imogene as Ian and Celia didn’t have the room. This was a good story. It had a slow beginning for me but once it got going I really enjoyed it. I chuckled at times while reading this. I liked the plot. I loved how Imogene was portrayed so opposite to Nicholas at least that side of Imogene at first anyway. I like how she grew as the story went on. I loved how protective Imogene was of Ian and Celia. I also loved the way the baby was in Celia’s stomach and laughed and her first word was the f word she had learned from her future godmother and aunt Imogene. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I recommend. |

This was kind of a fun romp in vamptown but way too much use of the "f" bomb. |
Bite somebody else is a vampire love story. I was disappointed I expected more humor, more action, not some 80 songs chick and renascence man. I was struggling to finish it. So is mediocre with everything that is going on in the book even the bedroom scenes are mediocre. The story is a little unpredictable and the end is ok so a nice 3 stare will do it. I volunteered to review an ARC of this book for Netgelly |

I really wanted to like this book but she was too mouthy and harsh for my enjoyment. |
Imogene has a heart of gold and a filthy mouth. She is hopelessly lost in the 80’s. But if it wasn’t for her newbie vampire Celia wouldn’t have been able to fall in love with her hunky human, Ian. Now Celia and Ian are expecting the unexpected and it has attracted the attention of the Vampire council and they’ve sent Lord Nicholas Christopher Cuthbert III to investigate. Imogene has found the one guy immune to her charms. She is going to have to protect her friend the old fashioned way. Work for it. The back and forth between Imogene and Nicholas is laugh out loud hysterical. The interplay between them was like watching Maddie and David from Moonlighting. The story is fairly predictable but well worth the read. If you haven’t read the first book in this series Bite Somebody , I would recommend reading it first. |
The first half of the book kind of sucked and I almost stopped reading it, but once imogene and Nicholas hooked up, it became such a great book, everyone started meshing better and things clicked and flowed better. |
