​"A deliciously dark and viciously sexy romance. You will want to devour Jordan Gray's stunning paranormal debut. But beware, this book bites back." –Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Once Upon a Broken Heart

Crescent City meets Fourth Wing in this fast-paced and romantic debut, in which a teenage girl must survive ruthless werewolves, a glittering court, and deadly politics to exact revenge on the monsters who destroyed her.

After a vicious werewolf attack on the night of her seventeenth birthday party, Vanessa Hart loses everything she loves in a split second. Her best friend, her father, and even her home.

Bitten and imprisoned without explanation, Vanessa endures an agonizing transformation into the very beast that maimed her, and her captors make it clear she cannot escape: she will either swear her life to the Wolf Queen’s Court, or she will die.

With no other choice, Vanessa joins their enchanted Castle Severi—where flowering vines grow through the walls, gifts are bestowed by the stars, and a claw can break through skin as easily as silk—but she hasn’t forgotten what they stole from her.

Vanessa still seeks vengeance, scheming in the shadows even as she finds herself mesmerized by the golden prince Sinclair Severi, who threatens to steal her heart though he is promised to her nemesis. And by his brooding, disgraced cousin, Calix, whose smoldering gaze hides even darker secrets. Immersed in the magic of their whimsical yet cruel society, Vanessa soon learns not all is as it seems.

The Court is at war, and she may simply be a pawn in its lethal game.

Amazing

Bitten is a fast, addictive read that hooks you from the very first chapter. Jordan Stephanie Gray delivers the perfect mix of tension, chemistry, and dark intrigue—made even better by the fact that it all takes place in my favorite city, St. Augustine, FL. The setting adds so much atmosphere and charm that it makes the story feel 100 times richer. The characters feel real, the emotions hit hard, and the twists keep the pages turning. If you love intense, atmospheric reads that you can’t put down, this one is a must.

Book much longer than it needed to be

I felt like there were times when the author dragged out the reveal of new information for dramatics but really it was just unnecessary. I found myself skipping a lot of the story and not missing out on much. The end was great, but I guessed the real culprit less than half way through. I probably won’t continue the series. Idk. We’ll see

What the cliffhanger

I love the suspense, plot twists, character builds, action, and spice in this book. Callix being cold and brooding. Sin being so charming and flirty. Vanessa being so sweet but rage filled. But what the cliff hanger! I need to know what happens because I was NOT expecting that.

Had so much potential to be a 5 for me

Ahh I was loving it , until I was disappointed a bit. Ending left me in the middle of the woods with nothing . It was predictable, esp towards end. But would have been ok with that if I had gotten a more proper hea. And if that’s what you are looking for, keep in mind you may not find that here.

I do love the story

But I just wish the main fmc was a little smarter. I had my smarts at 17 and I do believe she turned 18. I was very smart and took in my surrounded at the age of 13 . She just so immature. This is not the first book they put FMC in very dangerous situations where she has no repercussions or the danger is so much more powerful than a female with nothing not even a weapon in her hand and she’s standing like she’s some kind of wonder woman I don’t get why they do this, but a lot of people didn’t finish this book where they complained about that so I’m hoping I am going to definitely do book too. I’m just hoping that she is a little smarter. As I’m seeing a little of reviews lasts 6months of people complaining about whining FMC she’s one definitely but the story is well worth it I skip through a lot of it towards the end.
