Part human, part succubus, and one hundred percent done taking crap from anyone.
Being part demon is the world’s worst party trick. Just ask Val Shapiro—her dad’s an incubus, her mom can’t stand Val’s succubus side, and she’s got a snarky telepathic hellhound named Fang for a best friend. (No, really. A hellhound. He sheds.)
Kicked out of the family and shoved straight into a world where monsters rule the night, Val dives headfirst into the fight, dragging her hellhound and a frustrating detective along for the ride. But the deeper she hunts, the more San Antonio’s supernatural underworld claws back—and the harder it gets to tell where her demon ends…and she begins.
Bite Me is the first book in The Demon Underground urban fantasy series about a young woman struggling with her identity and fighting to keep her inner demon at bay. It’s packed with snark, underground secrets, and supernatural showdowns with bite. Fans of Buffy, K.M. Shea, and Heather G. Harris will love this story of found family with a touch of romance.

Reviews
“This book is a YA urban fantasy–and I love the title. Parker’s voice is edgy and smart. I smile as I read because this book takes me back to my Buffy days–yep, that kind of smart and sharp-edged humor. Love it.” — The Bradford Bunch
“What did I think of this book? I thought it was wicked fun. I loved the heroine–a YA character who felt real and had one tough attitude. Smart-talking, a fierce fighter . . . and Val (Valentine) had one heck of a funny sidekick, too. Non-stop action. Twists and turns. Monsters. Danger. And a cute hellhound. Come on, I couldn’t ask for me. Well, maybe I could ask for more . . . another book about Val.” — Cynthia Eden
“I liked her world quite a bit—I can’t think of too many other books that I’ve read set in San Antonio, and I liked how vampires were barely known. That, and I loved the characters. We primarily see Val and Dan Sullivan; she’s smart-alecky, but honorable, and has struggles (mostly with the demon inside her). Dan is a good guy, as well, and his conflicts are all on stage and felt honest to me. Of course, Fang is probably the best character in the book.” — Someone’s Read it Already
