Overbite (#97) is Meg Cabot's second book about Meena Harper, the girl who can predict everyone else's death but her own. Meena is now working for the Vatican's Palatine Guard in their Manhattan branch, Its mission is to destroy the hosts of demons and banish evil from the world. That's a problem for Meena, since she's still emotionally tied to Lucien Antonescu, son of Vlad the Impaler and Prince of Darkness. Although she hasn't seen him since the climactic battle described in the first book, Insatiable, only Meena is convinced that there is still some spark of good in Lucien. Alaric Wulf, tall, blond, muscular fellow Palatine Guard demon hunter, isn't swayed by Meena's arguments.
Who is going to win Meena's heart in this outing? And will the reason be the right one? Will she even survive to enjoy a happy ever after as a human or as creature of darkness herself? Gotta love a book that features New Jersey as a hellmouth (talk about Real New Jersey Housewives!), an evil New York City waterway, Tiffany jewelry as a weapon, a sinister conspiracy to take over the Vatican and a pistol-packing nun!
A great way to spend a warm summer afternoon!
