Description:

Vamps in Chicago!

You’d think headlines like that would have provoked the fine citizens of the Windy City to take up arms against us bloodsucking fiends. Instead, ten months later, we’re enjoying a celebrity status reserved for the Hollywood elite—fending off paparazzi only slightly less dangerous than cross and stake-wielding slayers. Don’t get me wrong, Joe Public isn’t exactly thrilled to be living side-by-side with the undead, but at least they haven’t stormed the castle yet.

But all that will change once they learn about the Raves—mass feeding parties where vampires round up humans like cattle and drink themselves silly. Most civilized vampires frown on this behavior, putting mere mortals at ease with their policy of asking a person’s consent before taking a big gulp of the red stuff. However, that doesn’t make good copy for a first time reporter looking to impress his high society family.

So now my “master,” the centuries old, yet gorgeously well-preserved Ethan Sullivan, wants me to reconnect with my own upper class family and act as liaison between humans and vampires—and keep the more unsavory aspects of our existence out of the media. But someone doesn’t want people and vamps to play nicey-nice—someone with an ancient grudge. 

My Review: 

Vamps in Chicago holy cow.  The vampires are coming out of the closet and people are unsure of what to think add that Merit needs to get in with her parents to see what high society is saying and doing about them.  Add the fact that someone is targeting shape shifters and Merit thinks there is more to it than anyone knows about.  On top of that Merit's change didn't go peacefully and she seems to be suppressing her vampire side which will make her more vulnerable than ever!  When they find out Celine is on the loose all hell breaks loose.

I love this series it's fresh and exciting change from other books I've read.  This one pulled you in finding quickly how much you love Merit and Mallory's relationship and watching the tension between Merit and her master Vampire Ethan! I was totally hooked and can't wait to see where this ride takes us on next!  Definitely great for those who miss Sookie Stackhouse.
