Live bait makes all the difference.

Connie Bence is sent out into the hotspots of Budapest in an effort to trap and kill the city’s vampire overload, Rurik. Connie’s employer has proof that Rurik is a ruthless killer and needs to be taken down. However, after Connie finds herself in a situation more dangerous than expected, Rurik offers her his protection and rescues her from his own kind. Now, she has to decide if she’s going to trust him or lead him to his death.

The story is fast-paced and a fun read. It has a few laugh out loud moments as well as ones that make you groan as you can’t believe the heroine can be so stupid. In addition, it included one of my pet peeves – insta-attraction. I can get on board with instant lust, but head-over-heels in love in a matter of days…really? However, overall, the good outweighed the bad and made for a quick and interesting read. There are 2 more in the series and I plan to read those as well.

Rating: 3.75 ( )

This was a very intense and explicit story. In recent years I have steered more toward the young adult novels, because I believe they concentrate more on the story than the sex. Though Bait made me a liar. Annie Nicholas offers you a incredible vampire story with a romance that will leave readers breathless. Connie is part of a secret team that hunts vampires. She is not your bad ass kicking heroine, but rather simply vampire bait. She is the soul person responsible for luring in vampires marks for assassination. Life is quite simple until she meets Rurik. This things become incredibly hot and steamy for the remainder of the read. Overall Bait was a incredibly quick and captivating read. ( )
