Running from her past only brings her closer to a destiny that is inextricably connected to what she is trying to escape… Every gift has both a reward and a price, because All of it fits…
Review: Bitten Shame by Olivia Hardin is book two in the Bend-Bite-Shift Trilogy. While the first book in the series was told from Devan's character, Bitten Shame is told by Jill, Devan's best friend. I really liked Jill in the first book, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that Bitten Shame would focus on Jill. The chapters bounce back and forth between present day Jill, and the past, when she became a vampire. Some people don't like this style of writing, but I found it easy to follow, and an interesting way of unfolding the life (or unlife) of the vampire that is Jill.
I read Bitten Shame in one sitting. It's a quick read, but also engrossing and well written. Jill is a complex character, and Olivia Hardin builds a strong picture of who Jill is, chapter by chapter. The story can get pretty dark, but then there is light and laughter to balance it out.
If you like vampires, witches and faeries, a good plot, and strong characters, you will love Bitten Shame.
