Bite Book 1: Christine

"BITE" tells the story of Christine Lawter, a military brat, whose family moves to a small town in western North Carolina. Christine struggles with the relocation, especially since it's her senior year. On her first day of school, a boy catches her eye and she tries desperately to find out who he is, but nobody knows. She sees the boy walk alone into the woods and follows him. She discovers the boy, Cody, has a secret he's kept from the world. He warns Christine never to share it, and the trust between them creates an emotional attachment. Christine's overwhelmed, but she falls in love with him. She learns about his family's past and about their overlords, known as the Lawmakers, and the scouts that work for them. Cody's family forewarns them of their relationship, but love knows no law, and heeds no consequences. Consequences come when Christine learns a dark and terrifying story that Cody's family kept from her. Never would she have imagined that a story from their past would affect her future.
