review 1: Despite this being a novella of less than 100 pages I thought this story was a great introduction to PJ Schnyder's writing and her new London Undead series. I love books with zombies and I'm so happy that this one didn't try to portray any zombie as a hero. They were dead disgusting buggers and I loved reading about them.What Worked: I think Schnyder did I commendable job introducing us to her London Undead world. Although we might not have all the information we could have had if this had been a full length novel I think what she was able to accomplish was a great start.Her characters are strong and intelligent. I really liked that our heroine, Maisie, could take care of herself without fear freezing her up. I liked that Seth recognized her strength and although it is in ... morehis DNA makeup to take care of her he knew she could do it herself.I also liked that Schnyder doesn't have the characters falling into insta-love because there wasn't enough time to develop a longer courtship. I was quite satisfied with the way the characters came together in the end.What Didn't Work: Just a few minor points actually. The length of the story really limited a longer courtship, the background on the characters and the world building. As I mentioned before, I think PJ really did a great job within the novella limitations but as a reader I just wasn't ready for the story to end. I could have happily settled in for another several hours worth of reading about these characters and the Undead world. Seth and Maisie's story is not finished. I hope PJ has realized this and plans to write more about them in the future. Oh and Seth's playful way of tossing Maisie up into the air repeatedly while carrying her was a bit much. Coming from someone with a bad leg, the jarring would have hurt. See, told you they were only minor points.In a Nutshell: A new Urban Fantasy setting well worth the read but I'm begging you PJ, please, please, please give me more! Write that full Undead London novel. I'll definitely read it!
review 2: Bite Me, the first book of the London Undead series by PJ Snyder packs a big punch for a short book. Action, a sexy shifter and zombies kept me turning the pages(well listening). I love the interaction between Seth and Maisie from the get go! They were written for wonderfully. Maisie is the kind of girl I would want to be friends with. A woman you can be proud of. Seth has a bigger heart that he lets onto. I really enjoyed seeing him almost fall in love at first sight with her. The attraction was playful and fun and the passion hot! A wonderful romance with a twist that just heightens the story. This book has everything a good PNR/urban fantasy/zombie hunting should. Bite Me is a great read hands down and an exciting start to a series. I had the added pleasure of listen to the audio version of this book! Narrated wonderfully by Kellie Jones! I think her voice did this story a great justice!!I purchased this audio book at audible.com less
