OMG! How could I forgot how freaking awesome this series was. Really, I had, So I´m happy I made this re-read. This is the first time I make one, I always thought it was wasting precious time you had to read other new books. But that was until now, because reading your fav books is totally worth it. And this is certainly a Fav!

This book has everything a first book in a new series must have. It´s entertaining, smart, sexy and delightful. I couldn´t put it down, but not just that, I wa More...

WHAT I LOVED ABOUT SOME GIRLS BITE:

It’s flat out HILARIOUS! Each page is riddled with snarky remarks and laugh-out loud jokes.

The World – Neill takes a different approach to the whole vamp thing. The vamps are out in the public eye and belong to frat-like Houses. The politics involved in this is intricate and so interesting!

BFFS – Merit and Mallory. I just love it when there’s such a strong friendship between the heroine of the book and her side kick. Sure, ha More...

This book was sooooo good. I had originally checked it out from the library, read about 40 pages and knew I had to buy it immediately. I waited patiently until the sequel came out, knowing I didn't want to read it until I would be able to read the second book right after finishing the first one.

One of my favorite parts of Urban Fantasy is a snarky heroine who is kick-ass and can hold her own with any arrogant alpha-type male that comes along. Merit fits this mold perfectly, and I More...

After plowing through 50 pages of it, I don't see anything remotely interesting about this book. It simply seems like every other write-by-numbers UF novel. I feel like I've read it a million times before. It is written a little better than Halfway to the Grave, but there is not even sex (yet) and spunky dialog in a sea of uninspired prose and world-building to keep me engaged.

Truly, there is no point to read any UF series written in last 2-3 years, they draw too heavily on existing More...

Okaaaaay. So on io9 a few months back, someone actually accused my Goodreads account of being manufactured by my "people" to "cull with the fan base" because I rate everything 4 or 5 stars and series tend to get the same score across the bar. I think its the most insulting comment I've gotten on the internet, haha. And referring to my "people" is like, so hilarious, because I'm a poor web series producer, and I have one agent and that's it and I do everything els More...

I read this for the sake of procrastination, works well to pass the time I guess, though there are better books out there.
Another book about vampires. Such an overused topic now. This book doesn't portray it much better than most others.

What I liked:
They showed us a world in which humans know vampires exist. They don't get accepted immediately, and are still not allowed the same freedom given to humans, but seem to be working on it.
...yeah, I think that's it. Not More...

Rereading

This was a story of a college student (grad student) named Merit. A rogue vampire attacked her in the college parking lot. Merit wakes up to find that she is a new vampire and is very unhappy about it. This ruins Merit's plans and she had a lot of them too. Vampire are not welcome at the college and she has to drop out. So.... What now you ask - well the Lord of Cadogan House (vamp frat sort of ) is named Ethan Sullivan. He invites her to come and work for him at the house. Th More...

Okay, so I've changed this review as a series overview.

I have a list of favourite series and this one has easily pushed its way on there with Darkfever, Bittenand Magic Bites.

What I really enjoy about this series:

Merit does not choose to be a vampire but she lives with the changes made in her life and adjusts with as much dignity as she can.

She deals intelligently and confidently at all times. She does not stupidly talk out of her ass. *cough* Ro More...

What.A.Book!
Some Girls Bite is the first novel in the Chicagoland Vampires series by Chloe Neill. I can honestly say, this is my new favorite series. I was drawn in from page one, and could NOT put it down until I finished it.

The characters in Chicagoland Vampires are spot on. Witty, good looking, tough immortal and very likable, there's nothing bad I can say about the characters in this book. Yes, there are the "bad guys" in the novels,but even those are written so More...

Are you team Ethan, team Morgan or team Catcher? I’ve come across this question many times while perusing reading group discussions. I never really understood the question’s implications because I had not read the ‘Chicagoland Vampires’ series by Chloe Neill. But just from that query alone, I came to the conclusion that this Merit chick seemed to be a little busy with a threesome of boys bidding for her attention. After finally having read the first book in the series, I now understand that More...

This is the first book in a new series by Chloe Neill and I absolutely loved it!

I think this is a fresh new voice in the world of Urban Fantasy. It is well written and witty and I was pulled into Merit's world from the first few pages. If I didn't have so many distractions I would have read this book all in one go, it is that good.

The main character, Merit, was an ordinary college student but is now a newly turned vamp. The story begins with Merit having gone through 'the More...

I never think I'm into vampire stuff, but Melinda always gets me to read it. Love that it takes place in Chicago since I'm from the area and all. :)
I really liked it EXCEPT I was waiting for some hot steamy vampire sex!!
Chloe, please let Merit and Ethan get it on soon!! :)

Jacqueline rated it:

Hands down, this is one of the best urban fantasy/paranormal romance novels that I've ever read. What makes this even more remarkable is that this is not only the first in a series, and therefore has to spend more time on laying the groundwork, but it's also a debut novel for author Neill. As far as heroines go, Merit is very well-flushed out. She's intelligent, down-to-earth, emotionally and physically strong, as well as driven. Unlike too many females who befall similar circumstances in other More...

Abrupt, like that lovely picture of Homer, would be the only way to describe my experience with Some Girls Bite. I felt suddenly thrust into Chicago and the World of Merit/Cadogen House; and having never visited said destination, I experienced certain trials relating.

For those of you who don't know, Canada is cold. Really cold. It also kind of sucks to live here, (sometimes), and seeing the world through Merit's eyes was not always easy because Chicagoans have it e More...

review by Saluki

*Warning: possible spoilers ahead.*

The first thing that intrigued me about this series was that it takes place in Chicago. As I am a life-long resident of the Prairie State, Chicago is a city I have visited many times, so the setting immediately caught my attention. Beyond that, I really had no idea what this series was about. In fact, I hadn't heard of it until my Mom gave me the first three books in the series.

I have to say that I think th More...

Merit the main character is a 27-year old college student is attacked by a vampire, but saved and turned by the head of Cadogan House. When she awakens she joins the world of vampires who have just made themselves known to the public -and gets involved in the drama that is their hierarchy.

Merit inevitably starts to have feelings for Ethan the vampire who saved her. Pity More...

Wow! that was a rocking read. It would be enough to say I was multitasking while listening to the audiobook and still followed every word to express how much I loved it. I was frustrated by the amount of math problems I had to go through in order to prepare for an exam and listening to a good book while I did it made the necessary somewhat easier, even appealing.

The book began somewhat confusingly for my taste but I quickly caught its specific... rhythm, and from then on it was a great More...

Merit at first seemed to be the stereotypical girl next door and I have to admit during the first few chapters I really wasn’t looking for the “written about a thousand times” butt kicking heroine. I must say once I got sucked into the storyline I was impressed. This was my first Chloe Neill book, and I loved it! Think Underworld (laws/rankings)with humor and spicier romance. The writing was suburb and the plot was fast paced and full of everything that makes a story great!

The story More...

There's just so much and I don't know where to start. This book had just about every element you could want in a vampire novel. There was a mystery, there was blood, a changing, rivalries, love, lust, and some pretty awful people. And I loved that there were some newer elements brought to the table. Every vampire series is different and I just like to see what unique ideas they come up with.

Merit has been changed into a vampire against her will. And now she's stuck, about to be More...

Originally reviewed at Fiction Vixen

I may have dragged my feet a bit on getting started on this series because it’s an urban fantasy featuring vampires. As much as I like reading about vamps, I need to mix it up a bit or I just get burnt out on the same old thing so I had this series shelved for a rainy day. When the time came to get started I found myself completely taken in by the fresh writing style, and protagonists that are interesting and smart, with a cast great secondary char More...

Overall, I enjoyed this book. A little different spin on the whole vampire genre. One little complaint--Yes, Ethan has green eyes. They're pretty green eyes. I don't need to hear an in-depth description of the shade of green (emerald, forest, hunter, bottle glass, etc) every single time he is mentioned. We get he has pretty eyes. Move on.

Tanya rated it:

A funny, witty book about a completely realistic girl in her late 20s, who happens to get turned into a vampire. Merit's disdain for her new life carries the book through without losing its appeal. The tension between Merit and Ethan is palpable and giggle inducing. With moments of potent sensuality, the book appeals to an older audience while still keeping the fun of books aimed at young adults.

Loved it! This series is a new favorite. It's humorous and nail biting at the same time. I like that Merit is more assertive and witty than many of the other female characters in UF/PNR.

I have the audiobook and the narrator does a great job. She might speak a bit slow if you listen on 1x but I always up my player to 2x so it was perfect.
