Description

"Need a ride"

Kid is trying to survive in a world gone mad. Hungry, thirsty and alone in a desert wasteland, she's picked up on the side of the road by Wolf, Dolly, Tank and Pretty Boy: outlaws with big rap sheets and even bigger guns.

But there are rumours of cannibalism in the wastes, and there are sacks in the back of Wolf's jeep which appear to be leaking blood.

In a post-nuclear future where the raiders might just be her best hope of survival, how long will Kid stay hungry before taking a BITE

Reviews

A full throttle, sand-in-your-eyes, no holds barred ride through a Mad Max-style wasteland -- Lila Bowen (aka Delilah S. Dawson), author of WAKE OF VULTURES
A constant rollercoaster of chases, explosions, double dealing and backstabbing . . . Pure undiluted high octane anarchy * The Eloquent Page *
Merbeth centers the humanity of the bad guys in her gleeful postapocalyptic gore-fest debut . . . [she] makes it hard not to root for her quirky, amoral killing machines * Publishers Weekly (starred review) *
If you like bloodshed, mayhem and chaos - and don't we all, even if we'd rather not admit it - then this is the book for you . . . an action-packed, glorious read * Blue Book Balloon *
Filled with dark humor, wit, and a realistic dystopian setting, Bite plays with the idea of who the good guys are in such a harsh world. Think Carl Hiaasen thriller set in a Mad Max world, and you have an idea of what to expect * Booklist *
If you think you could never sympathize with killers and cannibals, think again, Merbeth makes them practically irresistible . . . the most fun I've had in ages * The Nocturnal Library *
Bite is what would happen if Mad Max, Fallout and Borderlands met, drank themselves stupid, ended up spending the night together in a seedy wasteland hovel and partook in some unprotected three-way drunken debauchery. Nine months later a baby would come out into the world kicking and screaming and that baby would be Bite! Pure awesome! * The Tattooed Book Geek *
Bite is a high-octane story that sinks its teeth into you and refuses to let go -- K. B. Wagers, author of BEHIND THE THRONE
