TANTALIZE by Cynthia Leitich Smith is a stimulating paranormal mystery mixed with romance.
Quincie, a teen who had to grow up fast after the death of her parents, left in the care of her uncle D. They run a restaurant that was previously owned by her parents. Only thing is the restaurant isn't doing well, so Quincie and her uncle decide to redo the restaurant into a kitschy Italian Vampire restaurant name Sanguino's. Unfortunately a few weeks before opening the lead chef and friend of the family, is murdered in the kitchen and it looks like it was done by an animal. The police are all over Quncie's best friend, a werewolf hybrid name Kieren, but he swears he wasn't involved. When a new chef turns up and Quincie is stuck juggling school, work, and the task of turning the new chef into a passable vampire.
While all this is happening the police are still struggling to figure out who murdered the original chef and are getting increased reports of disappearances.
Quincie must look at the changes going on around her and see what they really are before even more people she knows go missing.
There are a few loose ends at the end of the book that leave the reader begging for more, wondering if we will get a sequel.
Happy Reading
