1. Emily - 2/5 - I really wanted to like the "Magic Bites" series, but I found it to be quite underwhelming. The story started off with a promising concept of a post-apocalyptic Atlanta where magic and technology collide, but I found the execution to be lacking.

While there were some intriguing magical elements, they weren't enough to hold my interest throughout the series. Overall, I was disappointed by the "Magic Bites" series and wouldn't recommend it to others.
2. Mark - 3/5 - I had high expectations for the "Magic Bites" series, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to its hype. While I appreciate the author's attempt to blend urban fantasy with a post-apocalyptic setting, I found the storytelling to be inconsistent and the pacing to be off. There were moments of excitement and intrigue, but they were overshadowed by repetitive action scenes and a lack of character development. Additionally, the romance subplot felt forced and lacked chemistry. While the series had its moments, it ultimately fell short for me and didn't leave a lasting impression.
