Some praised the book for its character development, action scenes, and erotic elements, while others criticized the book for its lack of plot, excessive sex, and repetitive dialogue. Some reviewers also noted that the book was more focused on the relationships and emotions of the characters than on the external conflict with the Mother of All Darkness. One reviewer wrote, “Bullet is not a plot-driven book; it’s a character-driven book. In some ways, Bullet has more in common with literary fiction than genre fiction.”
Bullet is a book that appeals to fans of Laurell K. Hamilton and the Anita Blake series, as well as to readers who enjoy paranormal romance, urban fantasy, and erotic fiction.
