Once Bitten (Order of the Dragon)

Others likes this book and so I bought it and it is pricey for a small book in paper. It is an over-sized paperback with only 182 pages with medium type. However I thought back as reading this that it is not the same book cause I didn't' see all the great reviews. This book was not very well written and the language she used put me off. I kept struggling to read it. the character was very immature and the author would ( example: I gripped the swords grip or using the word freshly in two sentence right below each other) repeat words in the same sentence. The adjectives needed more variety and she needs to work on the descriptive words for things. Plus using examples like: tension like a plucked string of a guitar just felt off and made the line stop instead of flow. I think she needs a better editor to catch things like this cause it is distracting while reading it. Now as to the story itself that was good and she has good ideas but the sentence form and the flow of the writing was not what I am use to or what I read in other authors. She just needs to tighten that up and would a good writer in time.

Once Bitten by Tina Glasneck is the first book in the Order of the Dragon Series. In this book, Leslie Love a paranormal romance writer goes on a cruise that changes her entire life. Leslie is a seer who can see and speak with the dead. Her constant and most beloved companion is the ghost of her grandmother. This story is full of Norse Gods, dragons, vampires, and a host of other unique paranormal beings as well as an interesting life changing trip to a castle on the shores of Loch Ness, Scotland. It is an exciting and very different story that is full of suspense, mystery, compelling situations, and a host of unusual paranormal characters that made this book such an exciting, entertaining read.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is the first book by Tina Glasneck that I have read and I really enjoyed it!
Funny that it was about a writer, not something that you expect but it really worked.
Great characters and....Dragons! Who doesn't like Dragons

Loved the storyline and great characters especially the lead.

I will definitely be reading more by this lady.

I loved this book!! Leslie was a fantastic well developed character with lots of attitude. Alistair was also a great character who had great chemistry with Leslie. The story was great with lots of twist and some mystery and a great plot line. Secondary characters were also well developed like Gran who I completely enjoyed. This book kept me turning pages until the end of the book. Loved it!! I am giving my voluntary review of an arc I received.

I loved this story so much! I enjoyed Leslie being able to see and talk to her dead grandmother, who was a kick by the way! Alistair helped save her when she was thrown of the ship, but at what cost to Leslie. I couldn't put this book down until I was finished! It is a cliff hanger! Can't wait to read the next story..

A very good read that had me turning pages all the way through. Anxious to see what was coming next. I thoroughly enjoyed it and am looking forward to more from this author.

I read this in the Sirens & Scales anthology and am looking forward to reading Twice as High once it is published. There are some small errors, but nothing that interrupts the story. Tina has included some interesting aspects of lore and I can't wait to see how this series develops. Definitely worth the read.

A fun read!, Alistair and Leslie and all the other characters take you with them to their worlds. Can't wait for more to come.

I loved this story. Love the author. It is full of suspense and I can't wait for the next in the series

It had a different take on the paranormal that I enjoyed. The characters started growing in this first book. It left me looking forward to what's to come.
