Bite of Vengeance by R.L. Caulder

This book is absolutely riddled with grammatical, spacing, and punctuation errors, it comes out on top with the greatest number of mistakes I have ever found in a published work. It was incredibly frustrating to have to stop reading with such frequency as I had to pause and reach for a post it to mark a flaw, of which I already said, there were many. Every time I found a mistake I hoped it would be the last one and I tried to let it go, but at some point I just gave up on being able to think well of the author and the persons responsible for publishing this mess. You can see my picture of shame along with this post, the dark pink being all the errors I found and the light pink being the spicy scenes. It is kind of embarrassing that there are more errors than there are exciting plot moments, especially when you consider that people usually buy these types of books specifically for the dark romance and not living out a fantasy of being a book editor. 

I just really wanted to get that out of the way before I review the actual story. Again, it is very fast paced, events taking place over hours and days rather than weeks. I like that for the majority of this book they are out of the school and in the real world. Honestly, all the plot focused around the school is quite boring, we never get much of an insight into the subjects they study, which I would have found very interesting. The real world, the world in which vampires live alongside slayers and other magical beings is so much better since we get to see them in their day to day life. 

I have one more book in this series left to go. I do want to see how the story ends, but I am more interested in seeing if the pages have been edited better than its predecessor. I don’t know what went wrong here, I didn’t find any errors in the first book, and I only found three in the second one. I’ll let you know how things turned out next week.
