BITE Book 1: Christine

"BITE" tells the story of Christine Lawter, a military brat, whose family moves from California to a small town in western North Carolina. Christine struggles with the relocation, especially since it’s her senior year of high school. Luckily, she makes an outspoken, social friend in a girl named Ariel, and meets a great group of new friends. On Christine’s first day of school, a boy catches her eye and she tries desperately to find out who he is, but nobody knows. She sees the boy walk alone into the woods and follows him.

Christine discovers that the boy, Cody, has a secret he’s kept from the world – he and his family are vampires. He warns Christine never to share his secret with anyone, and the trust between them creates an emotional attachment that grows into love. Christine’s overwhelmed, but it doesn’t matter, she’s fallen in love with Cody and with his family, whom she helps introduce, bit by bit, to the human world they have been required to shun. Cody joins Christine’s fun-loving group of friends, and in turn she is embraced by his family. She learns about their past and about vampire society – the overlords, known as the Lawmakers, and the scouts that work for them. Cody's family forewarns them that human-vampire relationships are against the law, but love knows no law, and heeds no consequences.

Consequences come when Christine makes a choice that not only affects her, but Cody and his family as well. She soon learns a dark and terrifying story that Cody's family kept from her. Never would she have imagined that a story from their past would affect her future.

"BITE Book 1: Christine" is the first entry into the BITE trilogy.
