Part human, part succubus, and one hundred percent done taking crap from anyone.
Eighteen-year-old Val Shapiro has problems most teenagers don’t. Her dad was an incubus, her human mom can’t stand her demon side, and her only real friend is a snarky telepathic hellhound named Fang. (No, really. A hellhound. He sheds.) When she gets kicked out of the family and thrown into San Antonio’s supernatural underworld, Val does the only thing that makes sense: she becomes a vampire slayer.
But keeping her succubus under control while hunting things that go bump in the night is harder than it sounds—especially when every fight risks letting the demon out for good. And in a world that already sees her as a monster, losing that battle might just prove everyone right.
Bite Me is the first book in The Demon Underground series—a fast-paced urban fantasy packed with snark, found family, and supernatural showdowns. Perfect for fans of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, K.M. Shea, and Heather G. Harris.

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
