Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires #1)
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 master vampire of Cadogan House. Now she’s traded sweating over her thesis for learning to fit in at a Hyde Park mansion full of vamps loyal to Ethan Sullivan. Of course, as a tall, green-eyed, four-hundred-year-old vampire, he has centuries’ worth of charm, but unfortunately, he expects her gratitude–and servitude.
But an inconvenient sunlight allergy and Ethan’s attitude are the least of her concerns. Someone’s still out to get her. Her initiation into Chicago’s nightlife may be the first skirmish in a war–and there will be blood.

I'm a little bit gobsmacked at how much I loved this book. I listened to the audio, and that tends to downrate a book for me, for some reason. Aside from a few narrators, I tend to want different inflection than what I get. This narrator was perfect for the part. I ended up trying to find things to clean just so I could keep listening. Love when that happens!!I love a slow burning romance, and that is what is happening between Ethan and Merit. Rrrrreallllllly slow, from what I hear, butOkay, 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
This was lots of fun! Merritt is going about her grad school life, minding her own business when suddenly shes changed into one of the undead. Bummer. Her roommate, fortunately, is obsessed with all things occult, so helps her get adjusted to the fangs and annoying urge to drink blood. Theres also the weird attraction/annoyance thing going on with Ethan, the head of her vampire house (in Chicago, in this world, vampires are split into houses, kind of like Harry Potter.) Unfortunately, someone is
4.5 Stars ❤ This was a hilarious, quick read and it's been ages since I've read a good vampire book ;-)
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.
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
I'm not going to say this book is awesome, it wasn't, but it was exactly what I was in the mood to read at the moment. Here is the plot of a distressingly large portion of paranormal romance books (including this one):Oops! I've been turned into a (insert supernatural being). I'm pissed! I'm going to buck the system and gallivant around giving attitude to anyone who crosses my path. No worries though, because the king (or equivalent) of the (insert supernatural being) will find me weirdly
