3.75!!
An Irish Vampire who has his eyes set on a runaway? A vampire who had nefarious plans but is thrown for a loop? Yeah, I'm here.
This was a joy of a debut book. It definitely reads YA, so if that's not your thing, you've been warned.
Cutting Your Teeth follows Ezra, a fighter on the run from his family. Ezra has one last fight before he skips town and takes on a new identity. But then he dies.
Ezra is brought back to life by Killian, a vampire he had unknowingly just fought. Killian takes Ezra under his wing, introducing him to his human companion Marigolde and fellow vampires. As Killian teaches Ezra all about being a vampire, other types of feelings emerge. Unfortunately, both Ezra and Killian's pasts are catching up to them.
This book was SO fun. It did start a little slow for me, but because the chapters are fast, it kept me entertained. I liked Ezra as a MMC a lot - but Killian really carried the book for me. I wanted to know everything about his background and why he moved the way he did. If you're not into miscommunication - the romance aspect might be a tough read for you. But, as two early 20-somethings figuring it out - I think the relationship build up was smart.
The Vampire and introduction to other paranormal creatures was definitely something I wanted more of and where the star rating really shows. I think if there was more world building on the paranormals this could have been a stronger book - especially with all the tugs at twins and their relationship.
All and all this was a great, fast read. I definitely would continue the series whenever the next book comes out!
