Michelle Rowen is the author of the Immortality Bites series, including Bitten + Smitten and Fanged + Fabulous.
"Sixteen-year-old Nikki's life is straight out of a fairy tale, but
she's no damsel in distress. Just after her birthday, Nikki learns
from an attractive stranger named Michael that she is heir to the
throne of the Shadowlands, which separate the human realm from the
Underworld. Nikki's father, the Demon King, is dying, and she's got
very little time to decide if she'll stay in the Shadowlands
forever or live as a normal teenager. Her aunt Elizabeth is ready
to take over the throne and will stop at nothing to block Nikki's
ascension to power. Nikki knows what everyone else wants her to do,
but she ultimately wants to make her own decisions about her
future, something every teenager will understand. Although she
doesn't see herself as a superhero, her will to save her threatened
loved ones and take control of her own life is nothing short of
heroic. The doomed love story between Nikki and Michael combines
with action and mystery to entertain any reader who holds a special
place in her heart for strong princesses." --Kirkus
Reviews"Sixteen-year-old Nikki faces yet another new school and yet
another (probably unhappy) marriage for her mother. Still, she is
hopeful about the changes until she meets an attractive guy who
appears to be stalking her. She is thoroughly spooked after he
tells her that she is, in fact, a demon princess whose father, King
of the Shadowlands, is ill and wishes to see her. Still, she agrees
to enter the dimension that separates the human realm from the
Underworld. Rowen walks an intriguing tightrope, moving Nikki
between scenes of realism and fairy tale-horror within a single
school day or high-school dance. And she crafts intriguing
characters, including Nikki's loving father, who morphs into a
leathery horned demon with glowing red eyes at the slightest
provocation, and a potential Shadow boyfriend, who serves as
Nikki's servant and protector. Readers who suspend belief will find
themselves caught up in a sometimes violent, romantic, complex
fantasy that, although not completely satisfying, will tide them
over until the next Stephenie Meyer vampire book or Meg Cabot
princess title is released." --Booklist
