Biting Nixie

It's funny, quirky, and cute. The sex is outrageous and overblown...but I can read around the scenes for the story. ( )

Biting Nixie was a humorous read. One part made me lol. It was the "ack" scene...you'll know it when you read it. (Okay, I just reread it and it made me laugh again.) Anyway, it also had a good dose of smex. However, it did feel like it was trying too hard to be funny/sexy, which might be a side-effect of Nixie's character. At times she came across as a 25-year-old teenager and you will probably either love her quirky and rebellious nature or find her annoying. On the other hand, I don't think you can take this type of book too seriously. It is meant to be light and funny so some things will work in this book that wouldn't work too well in a more serious paranormal romance, such as the bad guys coming off as sort of slapstick and incompetent.

There were a few things that brought the rating down for me:

- Nixie-speak was hard to follow sometimes. I still don't know what the heck "daggy" means :/

- I didn't really buy into Nixie planning and executing a major event with only two weeks notice that is supposed to bring in $500K and then not doing much of anything about it until a few days in advance. The reality check bounced on this part.

- Overuse of the word "slew" in an uncommon way (well, it was uncommon to me) as in "Suitguy slewed me a look." I don't think I've ever seen this word used this way so it stood out to me and it was used a lot, so it stood out a lot and felt repetitive. And repetitive = annoying.

Overall, a good enough read and worth the time but I could also have put the book down and not really have missed it--just read the end for the HEA and be on my way. I liked the first book, Bite My Fire, much better. Since I liked the first book, I will be trying the other books in the series. My interest was piqued when Logan entered the story, but I hope the bad puns don't follow him into his book. :) ( )

I found that I liked the actual plot and story of this book, and some scenes were pretty funny, but I felt the language was too forced. As one of the other reviewers said, I found it somewhat hard to believe that NIxie is a 25 year old, becuase she acts and talks as if she were a teenager. I also thought the sex scenes were a little too graphic for this type of story. Personally, with such a light-hearted, funny plot, I felt like the description of the sex scenes were too dark and intense. Overall, though, it was a fast, funny read, that I enjoyed. ( )

I just could not get into this book. It is not a young adult book, but the dialog and interactions were so juvenile that I kept feeling like it was. I could not imagine Nixie as being 25, she behaved like she was much, much younger. And oh my goodness - we get it!! Yes, we get it already! You're cool and you use cool metaphors. Not. I constantly rolled my eyes at her need to exert her individuality. I know that the author wanted to portray the Julian and Nixie as being completely opposite, but come on! He's all proper English and she was on the worst side of slang. The worst. I did not find Nixe funny, just annoying.Apparently this book can be labeled as smut. GR's showed that it is mentioned in the Kindle Smut group. I didn't read far enough to reach any smut! Hahaha. Should I feel lucky or cheated?? And what the heck is Daggy?? She is from outside of Chicago, right?? ( )

Was better than I expected, but I kinda got bored with the sex scenes. Do like the punky Nixie. ( )
