📖 Synopsis
Winifred “Fred” Crowsdale is done. Done with her cheating ex, done with being kicked out of every rental in town (thanks to her husky’s chaos), and done with a life that feels like one long disappointment. But fate isn’t done with Fred.
When a mysterious house offers her shelter, she thinks her luck might finally be changing. That is, until a late-night food delivery spirals into disaster—and she wakes up with fangs, a thirst she can’t control, and a vampire court eager to see her dead.
Now Fred must navigate her terrifying new reality as a freshly turned vampire while holding onto her humanity, protecting her beloved dog, and fending off a dangerously seductive vampire whose intentions are anything but clear.
Can Fred survive the hunters, the court, and her own rising powers—or will the past she thought she’d escaped finally consume her?

🔍 Detailed Review
If you’ve ever wanted a heroine who’s not a wide-eyed teen but a woman with history, scars, and a dog she refuses to abandon—Fred is your girl.
Bitten Vampire delivers everything urban fantasy readers crave: shadowy courts, supernatural politics, and relentless danger—but it’s Fred’s voice that makes the story so compelling. She’s sarcastic, resilient, and fiercely protective, making her one of the most relatable urban fantasy heroines of the year.
The story balances high stakes action with emotional depth. On one side, you’ve got slayers, fated mates, and the looming threat of the vampire court. On the other, you have Fred wrestling with betrayal, trust, and the terrifying responsibility of her new powers. The slow-burn romance is exactly what it promises—achingly slow, sizzling with tension but never overshadowing Fred’s personal journey.
One of the strongest aspects is the found family theme. Fred’s loyalty to her dog is heartwarming, but it’s the allies she gathers—unexpected, broken, and fiercely loyal—that bring the book its heart.
If you’re a fan of Ilona Andrews’ Kate Daniels series, Patricia Briggs’ Mercy Thompson, or Chloe Neill’s Chicagoland Vampires, you’ll feel right at home in this world.
