Are you predator or prey?

CLASSIFIED ADS: RESTAURANTS
SANGUINI'S: A VERY RARE RESTAURANT IS HIRING A CHEF DE CUISINE. DINNERS ONLY.
APPLY IN PERSON BETWEEN 2:00 AND 4:00 PM.

Quincie Morris has never felt more alone. Her parents are dead, and her hybrid-werewolf first love is threatening to embark on a rite of passage that will separate them forever. Then, as she and her uncle are about to unveil their hot vampire-themed restaurant, a brutal murder leaves them scrambling for a chef. Can Quincie transform their new hire into a culinary Dark Lord before opening night? Can he wow the crowd in his fake fangs, cheap cape, and red contact lenses — or is there more to this earnest face than meets the eye? As human and preternatural forces clash, a deadly love triangle forms, and the line between predator and prey begins to blur. Who’s playing whom? And how long can Quincie play along before she loses everything? TANTALIZE marks Cynthia Leitich Smith’s delicious debut as a preeminent author of dark fantasy.

  • I was completely unimpressed with this book. I picked it up because I thought I would like it, but was so disappointed. Not recommended. Just because it's about vampires doesn't make it a good book! LOL

  • Mediocre Attempt to Cash in on Vamp Craze

    I read this book because it sounded like what my students would love. I even had our school librarian purchase a copy for our school and I was the first to read it. The plot is poorly constructed - only 1 major event in the first 125 pages. The heroine is brainless - not a good role model. The e ... (continue)

    I read this book because it sounded like what my students would love. I even had our school librarian purchase a copy for our school and I was the first to read it. The plot is poorly constructed - only 1 major event in the first 125 pages. The heroine is brainless - not a good role model. The ending was a huge letdown. I would not recommend this book.

  • The story is good, it's the two lead male characters that are awful.
