They killed me. They healed me. They changed me.

Sure, the life of a graduate student wasn’t exactly glamorous, but it was Merit’s. She was doing fine until a rogue vampire attacked her. But he only got a sip before he was scared away by another bloodsucker–and this one decided the best way to save her life was to make her the walking undead.

Turns out her savior was the mas ...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* Rose, Vampire Academy*cough*

It's actually quite re ...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 else myself and, well, whatever.

Anyh Okaaaaay.

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 else myself and, well, whatever.

Anyhoo, I'm gonna be more liberal about listing books that I read. This book falls into the "I dunno if I loved it but I KNOW there are people out there who will."

First the positive: Really good dialogue. For some reason I REALLY liked the main character, so it was easy to take the ride with her. Lots of characters whose personality came through and were engaging despite the setups being familiar in the genre. I enjoyed the plotting, there's nothing at all new about the vampire world, but the writing itself was strong enough that I wanted to read the whole thing and stayed up until 3am doing so. Especially with all the requisite plot points: Training to be a badass (and having crazy powers you never knew about), love triangle with two requisite hotties, etc etc.

Negative: Er, there are several things I wanna call out. First: Mentioning "Buffy" in one of these vampire paranormal romance novels is ok ONCE, but three times!? REALLY? Started to make me LOOK for similarities in plot/setup, which isn't necessarily good.

Second: All the vampires live in one house like a sorority dorm, really? I mean, the author even calls this out and makes fun of it a little, but at the same time she's totally using it for REAL, kinda can't make fun of it and embrace it at the same time, right? And they're all dressed in black Armani, and attractive and broody etc etc. I was giggling a few times because it was just too "Vampire Diaries" for my taste. The author has a great sense of humor, but with the mechanics, the world is pretty much every vampire setup EVER. I kinda felt at a few points this whole thing was aimed more towards teenagers. There isn't a lot of racy stuff so actually this would be a good choice for Twilights

Third: Why did all the guys hot guys have "light green" eyes? I don't understand, seriously, that's just a detail that really bugged me. Blue eyes and brown eyes can be sexy too, and differentiate between the hot guys in the love triangle! I felt like I was in "Big Trouble in Little China" for a bit.

Here's the upshot: If you're looking for a fluffy romp through familiar urban fantasy territory you will like this. And the second book BTW was better than the first, so I will totally read the third, coming out next week. ...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.

Chloe Neill is not a bad writer and she uses most of what you'd expect to find in the genre: strong heroine, hot vampires, bit of mystery thrown in for good measure... and I just feel like it's the same story churned out by numerous authors looking to break into the Urban Fantasy scene. It wasn't awful, but I haven't gained anything by reading it, I have no sense of "oh my god, I must read the next book in the series", it was just... meh.

Merit has many of the characteristics that we expect from our UF heroines; she's strong-willed, sarcastic, independent and completely horny for mr supernatural. But... like I said, she's everything we expect and nothing unique that separates her from a hundred other twenty-something-year-old female protagonists. I will forget her by the time I pick up my next book. She doesn't have the quirky, fun and deeply-explored personality of Mac from the Fever series... she doesn't have the whole sexual tension is so thick you can practically see it in the air between her and her beau like Cat from the Night Huntress series. The characters can always make or break a book, Chloe Neill could have saved her novel from being the mirror image of all the others if she'd just taken the time to develop a protagonist that we haven't seen before.

And as for that aforementioned beau: if you're writing an urban fantasy or paranormal romance novel and you want to create the perfect mr sexy, what don't you do? I'll tell you - you most definitely do not try and replicate a current mr sexy who you were never going to be able to compete with. So why the hell did Ms Neill produce a tall, powerful, blond-haired vamp? Charlaine Harris has already claimed him! You know you want to look ;)

So, I think it's fair to say the start to this series was rather underwhelming... where the bloody hell is KMM when you need her? Sorry, distracted again, basically I'm going to leave the rest of the Chicagoland Vampires books, one disappointment was quite enough. ...more

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, having a love interest is important but the fact that Merit has Mallory at her side from the very beginning is great to see. The banter between the two is hilarious and reminds me of type of conversations that real BFFs have. Neill does a fantastic job with maintaining a strong sense of attachment between the two without having them rely on each other fulltime.

Catcher Bell – I’m loving my fourth grade sorcerer. Catcher is hot as hell. There are a bunch of great supportive characters in this book, but for me Catcher stands out from the rest. He seems to be the only one in the group who is a little more serious than the rest. Yeah, he drops the occasional sarcastic quip here and there, but he’s a by-the-book kind of guy. I’m dying to know more about him.

Ethan Sullivan – I mean, come on. Really? How can a girl not love Ethan? I just loved the sexual tension between Merit and Ethan. I’m on the edge of my seat whenever they are near each other. Definitely rooting for the two to seal the deal ;P.

WHAT I WISH THERE WAS MORE OF:

Ethan Sullivan –More please! I need a second serving of my sexy 400 year old vamp!

More action – I would have loved to see Merit engage in a little more action. She’s such a fierce heroine with undeniable skills, so I wish Neill showcased that a little bit more. Towards the end, we get a tiny taste of the kind of things Merit is capable of. But I wished there was more of that!

Some Girls Bite was such an enjoyable read. Though it’s not perfect, I’m interested to see how things play out in Friday Night Bites.

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.

Before I started reading this book, I was absolutely positive that I was going to go crazy over this series like some kind of deranged teenager. I actually bought the book on sale a couple of years ago and had been waiting for just the right moment to savor it. When a group of friends decided to buddy read this book on Goodreads, I knew that I had discovered the perfect moment to read it. I had a hunch that I would become obsessed with the series and feel the need to binge read every book in the series that I could get my hands on. Unfortunately, my expectations far exceeded my reality and I must admit that I am just a wee bit disappointed about it.

Please don't get me wrong...I liked this book quite a bit but the problem is that I didn't love it. I wanted to love it. I definitely plan to continue reading this series because I still have hopes that I will eventually fall in love with this series. There is a definite possibility that this book may have had a case of first book syndrome. You may be wondering what I mean by first book syndrome. Many readers will back me up that oftentimes the first book in a series, especially any book set in a world that needs to be created, isn't nearly as enjoyable as subsequent books.

This book had some strong points. It is already very apparent that Merit is going to be a little different than the average vampire. She has that something extra that was just starting to develop in this novel. The spark between Ethan and Merit was pretty hot although it was not fully explored...yet. I liked most of the characters. Merit's roommate, her grandfather, Catcher, and Jeff were all pretty awesome.

I enjoyed reading this book but it was always a book that I had no problem setting aside. I found a lot of it to be pretty predictable and I can't remember a single moment in the story when I felt any kind of surprise. In some ways I felt that Merit adjusted to becoming a vampire a little too easily. The only real issue she seemed to have was that she liked to complain about the fact that it wasn't her choice but really what other choice was there?

Obviously, my biggest problem is that I had expectations that were through the roof and they were not met. I would still recommend this book and I do plan to continue to read this series but with a more realistic expectation. This is the first book by Chloe Neill that I have had a chance to read. ...more

“It is better to be hated for what you are,
than to be loved for what you are not.”

It’s been eight months since vampires have outed their existence to the humans. Vampires doesn’t really interest grad student Merit, who would rather focus on her studies. Until she’s attacked by a rogue vampire, and in order to save Merit’s life, Master vampire Ethan Sullivan, turns her.

Now suddenly Merit has to come to terms with her new life as a vampire, saying goodbye to her studies and the life she thoug

“It is better to be hated for what you are,
than to be loved for what you are not.”

Now suddenly Merit has to come to terms with her new life as a vampire, saying goodbye to her studies and the life she thought she would have. And she only has a few days to do this before she’s to be initiated as a member of Cadogan house, the house of Ethan “I demand servitude” Sullivan.

But being obedient and meek isn’t in Merit’s vocabulary, and the sparks fly between her and Ethan. Also, someone is killing humans, and a war seems to be brewing. With Merit right in the middle of it.

“I’m just warning you, I’m probably going to be a total hard-ass vamp.”

Urban Fantasy is a favorite of mine, and I really enjoyed the world that Chloe Neill created. Not only is there vampires, but also sorcerers, shape-shifters, demons, fairies, nymphs etc.

Merit is freaking awesome!!! She’s sassy, feisty and kickass. I loved the attitude she gave Ethan, who expected her to be grateful, to be like everyone else and just do what he wanted. I just loved how she stood up to him.

There were many great secondary characters, like her best friend Mallory, who is more than she appears to be. Also a cute shape-shifter, a grumpy sorcerer, and her awesome grandfather. And I really liked some of the other Cadogan vampires.

The pace of the book was excellent, and kept me captivated from start to finish. I can’t wait to see what powers Merit might have, and to see her growing stronger and better as a vampire.

Now the reason for my lower rating: the possible love interest, Ethan fucking Sullivan! I HATE HIM!!!

At first the intense attraction between him and Merit gave me high hopes. I even liked the Darcy vibe he gave with his reluctant desire for Merit – he didn’t want to want her, but couldn’t help but do. Then everything went downhill (view spoiler) And I have it on good authority that he gets worse before he gets better :-(. I don’t know if I would survive worse, and honestly I can’t see him being redeemed in my eyes. Merit is so awesome and deserves someone better than this asshole.

This was my first book by this author, and I really liked this world and the writing. Although I am wary of continuing this series because of Ethan. Hopefully he dies in the next book, and all will be good again in the Chicagoland Vampires world. A very solid introduction to a UF series.

It's tragic that I feel better equipped to review books I don't like than the ones I do. Which is why I'm still sitting on my review of the Fever series, while the words are just pouring out for this one!

I liked Chloe Neill's YA book better than the first book in her Chicagoland Vampires series.

Some Girls Bite It's tragic that I feel better equipped to review books I don't like than the ones I do. Which is why I'm still sitting on my review of the Fever series, while the words are just pouring out for this one!

I liked Chloe Neill's YA book better than the first book in her Chicagoland Vampires series. I started this book a while ago, and then got pulled into something else, so I finally came back to it now, after Firespell with Great Expectations. Not such a great idea, it turns out. Some Girls Bite turned out to be mostly what it conveyed in the title -- chick-lit-cum-urban-fantasy. I'm not a big fan of that particular sub-genre, as witnessed by my inability to rave about Annette Blair, Madelyn Alt and the like. But SGB's problem is bigger than just my dislike for chick-lit UF. The book starts out with a very chick-lit feel, with Merit, the newly-made vamp discussing her clothes and 'boys' (more on that later) and her lack of sex life, faithfully accompanied by best friend/sidekick Mallory. But there is no consistency int he writing, which later begins to flash between some serious emotional depth, and more of the trite tripe we see in the first half.

Here's the story. Merit is a newly-turned vamp of Cadogan House. (The vampires came 'out' a few months ago, and now everybody knows there are twelve vamp Houses in the US, three of them in Chicago.) Merit is a grad-student who is attacked on her way back from campus one night, and left for dead. She is saved by the Master of Cadogan House, Ethan Sullivan, who makes her a vampire without her consent in order to save her life. Soon Merit is at the mercy of her Master and trying desperately to find a foothold in the murky waters of Chicago's supernatural politics.

Here's what I liked about this book:
1. Merit-Mallory: These two have a great relationship. I like the easy way they interact, and it's hard to find a solid female friendship that's actually, honest-to-goodness normal in most UF books today. You can tell from the way the characters are written that they've been friends for a long time, and are comfortable with each other, but not so abnormally close that they don't feel normal human emotions like anger and jealousy.
2. Mallory-Catcher: When Merit's grandfather first mentions Catcher to Merit, with a caution to stay away from him cos he's "pretty but wily", I was SO, SO afraid that Catcher was going to end up as part of some love triangle. But thankfully, this did not happen. Even if I trash every single thing about this book, I will still give it at least two stars simply because Chloe Neill actually gave Mallory a guy of her own, one who's hot and adorable, and they have a fairly substantial storyline, and it's not all about Merit, Merit, Merit.
3. Ethan-Merit: This is sort-of a fifty-fifty deal for me. I thought the chemistry between Ethan and Merit was hot, but only in the later part of the book. (I admit it, I like star-crossed lovers!!) I also liked the fact that Merit saw both good and bad things about him, and didn't just blindly fall into lust and sign away her life and her freedom to this guy. I like that Ethan's a manipulative asshole and not some too-perfect-to-be-true pretty boy.

Here's what I DIDN'T like about this book:
1. I know this might sound nitpicky to some people, but the number one most irritating thing for me about this book was how the word 'boy' was so casually tossed around. Everybody was a 'boy', from a three-hundred and twenty-year-old Master vampire, to a twenty-nine year old sorceror. Somehow, when you go around calling the lead characters 'boys', it lacks that necessary air of gravitas. Boys in YA novels are fine, because they really are boys. Boys in novels about late-twenties characters are ridiculous, with a Peter Pan fetish, which is just disturbing.
2. Writing style: Again, this is a fifty-fifty for me. The first half of the book was almost completely chick-lit style, no depth to the characters, and choppy writing that made me want to really, really put down the book and read some Ilona Andrews for the fiftieth time. There was little to no plot development and the characters were not even remotely simpatico. The writing got better in the second half of the book, one got a better feel for the characters, and Merit actually became a person instead of a one-dimensional image. But it's not fair to make your reader slog through buckets of slush to find the rose petals, and that's what SGB does.
3. Plot development: This book was more PNR than urban fantasy for most parts of the book. The mystery was so sidelined, it was almost as if the author decided to shelve it and move on to straightforward paranormal romance. There was no sense of plot development surrounding the mystery, or the world of vampires. Mostly it was about Merit's love-life, Mallory's love-life, Ethan's love-life, etc etc. The mystery suddenly came back into play with no build-up, in the last couple of chapters. All-in-all an unsatisfactory conclusion.
4. Ethan-Merit: Here's the remaining fifty of the Ethan and Merit relationship. Merit hates Ethan for turning her into a vampire.Understandable, and an attitude I can applaud. Then she meets him, falls for a pair of green eyes and a pretty face, and suddenly she has feelings for him? She's making out with him within a couple of days of meeting him with his girlfriend in the next room and somehow this is not important? This woman is supposed to be Ethan's Consort, a position of respect and power, but he just disses her by claiming in public to like Merit after their sparring match, and she still does nothing? Ethan makes out with another woman a few feet from her, and offers her position to said woman and she doesn't claw his eyes out? (Don't try to tell me she doesn't know, it's not like he keeps it a secret, and besides, she's a vampire with super-hearing!)And the fact that he is cheating and stabbing his girlfriend in the back has so little significance for Merit that she doesn't give it even a couple of minutes headspace?
5. Superpowers: Two days after she has risen, Merit manages to hold her own against a Master vampire. She resists glamour from another Master vampire a few days later. Wow, just give the girl a shirt with a big, fat S and ask her to wear her underwear over her pants, and she's all set. I would be a lot more convinced if Merit had woken up slowly to her superpowers, if Ethan had flattened her like a pancake, instead of trying to convince us that she's practically omnipotent. And Mallory. How convenient is it that Mallory discovers her sorcerous powers at the exact same time Merit becomes a vampire? And she's no weakling, either, she's a super-powerful sorceror. And despite being an occult dabbler who is excited by Merit's vampirism, she is somehow, mysteriously pissed-off and unhappy about her own superpowers, despite knowing nothing about them. Cut me a break.

Friends have assured me that the series gets better, and I really hope so, because I don't want to waste another precious day of reading time on a book that's not worth. I do have a 365-book challenge to finish this year, you know! ...more

She runs around in a black leather bustier carrying a magical katana, for goodness sake! It really does not get much more obviously focused on wish-fullfillment than this. Perhaps if I were fifteen, I'd have been able to dive straight in. But as it was, I just could not suspend my disbelief. Merit is supposedly super smart and loves English lit, but when she's forced to drop out of UofC (no vamp can attend), she just takes it. She doesn't petition the school, doesn't meet with her advisor, doesn't continue writing her diss...She's introduced to people who lived hundreds of years ago, and is too busy cataloguing their clothes (why do all vampires wear designer labels in all-black?) to wonder if they saw a play at the original Globe, or how they feel about language shifts, or what songs or folk legends they know that have been lost to history. I just plain don't buy her as someone who cares about literature (putting aside her absurdly vague claim that her focus is on "Arthurian legends"). I don't buy her as a character. And I don't buy her surroundings, either. Merit supposedly lives in Chicago, but there's no mention of public transportation, of the terrifying potholes, of the great and cheap Thai food, elotes on every corner...The majority of people who live in Chicago are non-white (and the neighborhood Merit lives in is actually mostly Mexican and Puerto Rican), yet every single character we meet in this book is white. Every single one. I think one of the vamps might be an Asian lady (based on her "uptilted eyes"), but that's it. And naturally, no one is queer.

And the vampires. Oh ye gods, the vampires. They live in what is basically a dorm. They even have a cafeteria. The hottest boy--er, vampire--has a crush on Merit, for no reason except that they have an instant "connection." They all speak modern English, complete with our current slang, even the ones who are over a thousand years old. They are all the most beautifulest things ever (their eye color, hair color, and clothes are described ad nauseum). They revealed themselves to the public a mere 8 months ago, but apparently this didn't shake up human society at all. The existence of supernaturals is accepted without protest or disbelief. No one seems to care. All sorts of supernatural creatures exist, from sorcerers to nymphs, but nobody *does* anything. Sometimes one vamp will pyschic message another, but that's about it. We meet nymphs of the Chicago River at one point, and they spend several pages catfighting over a boyfriend before making up over promises of pedicures. The big vamp betrayal is revealed when the evil vamp monologues for a number of pages about her Evil Plans. It's all so banal.

This book seems to have been churned out as quickly as possible to capitalize on the paranormal romance trend. Unfortunately for Neill, her book isn't good at providing paranormal adventure or romance. ...more

I have been on the hunt for another UF series to rank up there with my tops (the Night Huntress Series, the Fever series, and the Kate Daniels series). This book didn't even come close.

I'll do a quick recap of the positives. Part of me liked that it was a fun, lighthearted read. It was not at all what I was expecting, which was something much grittier. I also think that the series has some potential with the relationship between Merit and Ethan left mostly untapped. I could see some sparks happening there in the future. I also think that the writing was competent and that Chloe Neill has some potential.

Let me just dive into what bugged me. First of all, the world itself. Who else was irritated that the vampires only had one name? Hands, anyone?? I can see if the person's name was something unique, like Merit (or Bones... wait, wrong series), but for the average Joe, having to use just one name seemed totally stupid.

Beep. "Hey It's Morgan. From Navarre, in case you know a lot of us. Morgans, I mean."

Yeah, Morgan, I think it would be freaking easier too if you could just say "Morgan O'Tool" or something more specific! Talk about dumb traditions...

Something else that irritated me? The way that the vampires houses were just like fraternities. They joke about it in the book all of the time.

"Aw, come on, Mer. Today's your big day! It's Vampire Rush!"

I didn't love the lack of gravitas with the vampire houses. It made all of the fuss over the canon and house divisions seem silly. I think you can make a book funny and fun and still have it feel deadly serious at the right moments (Thank you Night Huntress!!!!). But here, it just didn't feel like the tension was real. I couldn't muster up enough feels to care about any of the vampires. It's just rush guys! Let's do a kegger!

In terms of Merit herself, I think that she acted like a huge brat over the whole "change into a vampire" thing. Girl, you were about to die! I get complaining for a chapter or two about how you didn't have a choice, but if you really wanted to be dead so badly, then you could just walk into the sunlight. Stop your bitching and man up. Ethan helped you out here. Stop pouting and pretend-calling him your mortal enemy. And while we are on Ethan, I wanted way, WAY more heat between them. A few heated stares does not a sultry book make. I think if this book had ramped up the tension, I would have enjoyed it more.

On a positive note (maybe??), this is the first book that I have EVER had to use my Kindle dictionary on. "Obstreperous" much?

First books in the Urban Fantasy series genre are a little rough sometimes. With the whole setting-up-the-world thingy, and giving us characters that we will love enough to read book after book about. It actually took me a couple of books to fall in love with Kate Daniels. And, I'm her total fan-girl now. I was the same way with Mercedes Thompson and Harry Dresden. I read all of these series, but I warm-up to them a little slowly - usually.

Frankly, the whole vampire thing has always pretty much bored me to death. I only bought Some Girls Bite because so many of my friends had loved it that I thought I should give it a try. I didn’t expect much from it. Worse, I expected some Twilight nonsense. Then Merit happened.

I loved Merit from the very beginning and she grew on me a bit more with every turn of page. What was really interesting here is the way Neill portrayed the struggles Merit goes through after being turned into a vampire against her will. Adjusting from student life to vampiredom overnight is no small feat and fantasy as this may be, I felt the description of Merit’s reaction to her transformation really rang true. Her world is turned upside down, she doesn’t know who or what she is anymore and doesn’t know how to deal with the new life that has been forced on her. She is sarcastic, tough, determined and trustworthy (despite what some annoyingly handsome master vampire might think). As little as I expected it when I first started reading this book, Merit quickly made it to the top 3 in my favourite kick-butt heroines list, right after Kate Daniels and Elise Kavanagh. She might even make it to the top 2 if she keeps it up in instalments to come.

Now for Ethan Sullivan, “I still live in the 18th century” master vampire extraordinaire. He bugs me to no end but I guess that’s what Chloe Neill intended. He looks good enough to eat. Well his having blond shoulder-length hair definitely does nothing for me but hey, I managed to warm up to a blond Curran Lenhart so I guess miracles do happen. But I digress. So he is deliciously good-looking but he is, first and foremost, a huge pain. Smug, full of himself, condescending, uptight, with antiquated views and trust issues… No wonder tension builds up between Merit and Ethan from the very beginning. This is one infuriating vampire and Merit just can’t help challenging him, his power and authority at every chance she gets. I mean what girl would want to wake up after being turned into a vampire, only to find out she was to blindly obey some exasperating, domineering alpha male for as long as she lives (which kind of sucks when you’re immortal)? Sparks definitely fly between these two but it doesn’t get very far in this instalment . Which is great really. I’d rather have the sexual tension build up slowly, it’s much more fun this way! (view spoiler) For the moment, Merit and Ethan love to hate each other which makes for some very entertaining confrontations. Can’t wait to find out what happens between the two of them in the next instalments.

The other characters in the book are just great. Strangely enough, I’d say Mallory was my least favourite of them. She’s a fantastic friend to Merit but I don’t know, I can’t get myself to like her as much as I do the rest of the cast. Lindsey I do love and I see great potential there for instalments to come. Now, for the male characters… Well, this is pretty much Hunks R Us, with an over-abundance of hot and sexy men prowling around: Catcher, Morgan, Jeff… Take your pick! Catcher and Jeff are probably my favourite.

As far as first instalments in a series go, Some Girls Bite is definitely a winner and one of the best I have ever read. First instalments are not usually as good as the rest in the series as the author has to set the story arc in motion, define the main characters and the world they live in. Here Chloe Neill has done a fantastic job as we are born to Merit’s new world at the same time as she is. We learn, adapt and evolve with her, which is both very cool and highly entertaining.

Great character development, awesome world-building and an entertaining plot make Some Girls Bite very hard to put down. A definite page-turner. Can’t wait to get my hands on the next instalment!

Anyone who is a fan of Vampire Academy will love the sarcastic, meat-loving, ass-kicking Merit. This is a fun series that follows a typical "newly formed vamp" story, but is also filled with lots of great action and excellent training sequences. The power plays between the different covens is well done, Merit's relationships with her friends is strong and true, and there are some super cute guys in it. A fast-paced, thoroughly entertaining start to the series.

Shelves: urban-fantasy, vampires

This book was recced to me by soooo many people. I had extremely high expectations for it, and was excited to start a new urban fantasy series. What I got was boring, banal, middle of the road dreck.

It took me forever to finish this book. The plot had no urgency to it, the characters irritated me, the action cheesy, and the romance had me rolling my eyes. The writing itself was ok, not horrible, and there were some funny moments, but not nearly enough to overcome the other failings of the book. This book was recced to me by soooo many people.

The writing itself was ok, not horrible, and there were some funny moments, but not nearly enough to overcome the other failings of the book.

The plot relied way too heavily on coincidences. First, there's Merit getting turned, oh, so conveniently, but I excuse that because that's the setup for the book, and I can ignore one major coincidence. But then there's her grandfather's job, her roommate's magical skills, and other coincidences on top of coincidences. After awhile it just gets to be ridiculous.

There's also a serial killer plot in there, which everyone talked about, but no one actually did anything to solve until the last few pages of the book. (And the resolution to that was completely unsatisfying, and went against the world building set up earlier in the book.)

Vampires in this universe are poor, misunderstood woobies, the humans persecuted for no good reason (other than being used as snack food).

Merit, was annoying, and a giant Mary Sue. The strongest, fastest, bestest at everything. Able to learn everything in the blink of an eye. I much prefer an imperfect heroine.

I like a bit of romance in my urban fantasies, but the relationship in this one just sucked. I get that the author was probably trying to build up chemistry and tension by having the two of them begin with an adversarial relationship, but I found the conflict between them to be laughable, and since this is from Merit's POV, we get to see her feelings for Ethan, but the author does not do a very good job of conveying his feelings.

Merit's set up as some tough-as-nails ass-kicker, but she came off as pathetic. There's a big dramatic scene towards the end where Ethan does something that makes Merit feel all betrayed, but considering that they're not dating and are barely friends her self pity just made me roll my eyes. In fact, the entire scene had me cringing. It was just so embarrassingly bad.

Plus, there's a weird obsession with clothes by all the characters, and it gave the entire book a bad chick-lit feel to it. I think Merit was supposed to be perceived as some bad ass in her leather outfit, but I just ended up laughing at her.

I do not recommend this book. I already have the 2nd and 3rd books in my TBR pile, but I doubt I'll read them. ...more

Merit never asked to be changed into a vampire, however, when she is attacked on her college campus that's exactly what happens. Her sudden change in circumstances throws her life in chaos as she struggles to come to terms with being, unwillingly, morphed into one of the undead. Especially when she is confronted with head of the house of vampires to which she now must pledge her loyalty, the gorgeous Ethan Sullivan. Both Ethan and Merit resent their unwilling chemistry towards one another, but must learn to trust each other as a plot to endanger the house reveals itself as more girls are attacked by supposedly rogue vampires.

I picked this book as part of my TBR jar read, the first actual book in the series- rather than an ebook - has been lingering on my shelf for a few years doing a fabulous job collecting dust. But, I dusted it off, took it on holiday with me and read it and read it in pretty much one sitting. Many of you have probably read this book by now and be having a "well duh" moment, after all this series has been going strong and has been popular for a few years now. And you're right, I should have started this series ages ago! But at least I now have plenty of books to look forward to.

I don't necessarily think the books was perfect, it definitely lacked a bit of polish and it isn't exactly original, you could probably find the assembled parts of this book in most UFs you lay your hands on. It had the snarky, misfit heroine, the gorgeous and polished hero and then a small cast of likeable secondary characters. However, Neill brought these tired old elements together and created something that was a lot of fun to read. Merit's snarky humour may not be original, but it made me laugh and I liked her, Ethan may not quite make my mouth water like other similar UF heroes (then again, no one will ever beat Curran from the Kate Daniels series or Bones from the Night Huntress series...so I may be bias!) but, that doesn't mean I am not intrigued about how the Ethan and Merit situation will proceed.

The world the Neill has created was interesting, vampires are split into different houses and each house works on a feudal system with one vampire being the boss and then tiers of vampires below him. It seems archaic but it is necessary to control younger members of the vamp community. Vampires are also political animals and I expect that will come into play more and more as the series progresses.

This was a solid start to a UF series and I will definitely be continuing to read it. If like me, you haven't read the Chicagoland Vampires series and you want an UF to delve into then I recommend you give it a go.
