Review: Twice Bitten (New Moon Series Book 1) by Belle Harper

Twice Bitten by Belle Harper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

NA Paranormal Reverse Harem

I didn’t realise when I started this book that I’d already reviewed a book by this author. I just liked the look of this book and decided to give it a go.

I’m glad I did because this book wasn’t much like the previous book at all, both in style and content. I enjoyed the other book, but I think I preferred this one.

Alexis ‘Lexi’ has been in foster care since her parents died when she was 5 years old of a drug overdose. The system has not been kind to her and she has spent a very large portion of her life running from poor foster care. She is picked up by a cop and taken to a new social worker who tells her she’s taking her to a new placement rather than sending back to the last one she ran from.

She’s taken at the same time as a hot tattooed guy, Raff and they are taken to the same place, which seems strangely nice for a foster home. It’s when she walks into school on her second day that things start getting strange, as groups of boys follow her around and most of them are really hot. Raff, was getting beaten up badly all the time. Oh, and the World History teacher was seriously hot. For once she doesn’t feel like running.

I found this book entertaining and interesting. There are lots of mysteries dangled and not all answers are given in this book, so it makes me want to read the next in the series. It seems strange after reading a NA shifter book earlier today with a girl who didn’t have a proper home that I picked another one. I have to say this one was done much better. The characters were more rounded, and the plot more intriguing. I prefer Lexi as a character as well, because she was prepared to give her new situation a go, even when she’d had problems in the system before. In Shifted Fate, the main character hadn’t given anyone a chance to help her because she was too proud to ask for help, something that nearly cost her her life. Lexi doesn’t trust easily, but she is marginally open to it, despite her previous experiences.

I also liked all the guys who are interested in Lexi, but the surrounding characters are great too. I especially love Josh, the 6 year old foster son of the two guys who foster her, he’s so cute and loving.

I will definitely keep an eye out for the second book in this series because I’m interested in what happens next. Could be interesting!
