She's generous, kind, and compassionate - yet Delilah Grey will forever be an outcast in the small seaside town of Camden Beach, Maryland. She takes in women shattered by abuse, poverty, illness, or events beyond their control. But no matter how far she's come or how many she's helped find their way back, there is no safe place for Delilah. Acquitted of her rich husband's mysterious death decades ago, she lives in her beautiful mansion consumed by secrets - and mistakes she feels she can never atone for...until she takes in desperate mother Tracey Walters and her two young children.

College student Joe Talbert has the modest goal of completing a writing assignment for an English class. His task is to interview a stranger and write a brief biography of the person. With deadlines looming, Joe heads to a nearby nursing home to find a willing subject. There he meets Carl Iverson, and soon nothing in Joe's life is ever the same. Carl is a dying Vietnam veteran-and a convicted murderer. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder.

If you could sum up Wicked Appetite in three words, what would they be?
This book was fun to listen to and the narrator was excellent. I'm really glad I had my earbuds in though!
What about Lorelei King’s performance did you like?
Ms. King was excellent in her delivery of the story. She had great inflection, appropriate pauses and good chacterization of the people. I would listen to her again!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Just about, but it was good enough to.

Story1.5 out of 5 stars 2
Lucy Blake considered herself an aficionado of vampires. She wrote articles for a Goth/vampire magazine, blogged, read all the books, did all of the research, and watched all of the shows, including the classics. But to Lucy, they stayed in the realm of fiction. She did not believe they were real - not until the night she was bitten. She was infected with the deadly bite of a vampire and slowly transitioned into one of the dark creatures of the night.

What did you like best about Bite Me? What did you like least?
I'm sure this book was good, but the narrator did such a bad job that I didn't even make it past the 1st chapter. She completely destroyed any imagery created by the author by stumbling over words, mumbling and even backtracking to sentences she missed!
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
I didn't get to the end!
What didn’t you like about Babs Hightower’s performance?
Everything!
Do you think Bite Me needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I think Bite Me needs a re-do with a competent narrator.
