Merit's recovering from the murders that almost killed her. She's also been turned into a vampire and must obey the man she loves to hate.In order to perform her job to the best of her ability, she finally moves into the Cadogan house. She's having a hard time adjusting to and mingling with the other vampires due to her status and the rumors floating around. Ethan doesn't give her much time to adjust before asking her to return to the life she left behind. When an anonymous warning arrives with hints of a secret being uncovered, Ethan wants to find out who is responsible. All signs point to a reporter of a prominent family. Merit's forced to enter society again with Ethan at her side. Soon, she's going head-to-head with her father and creating tension within her romantic relationship. But Merit has bigger problems than romance; there's another traitor in the house. She must uncover the mole and watch her back - because someone's out for revenge and it's getting ugly. FRIDAY NIGHT BITES is the second book in this new crossover series (A/YA) that hits upon romance, snarky dialogue, danger, revenge, friendship, elite society, and struggling to find your place in the world. It's an excellent series that left me waiting for the next installment. I love both the titles and the covers for the CHICAGOLAND VAMPIRES books! Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel

Not as good as the first...,
By Avery Greaves "Avery's Book (and Other Fun St... (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Friday Night Bites: A Chicagoland Vampires Novel (Paperback)
***May Contain Spoilers***I always find it a shame when a book that I love has a sequel and I don't find the sequel to be as good as the first. If you will recall I reviewed the first book in the series, "Good Girls Bite", and in my review I pretty much praised everything about it. I loved that Merit was so kick-butt, I loved all of the secondary characters (which I typically loath), and I just loved the world that Chloe Neill created. But this book? It wasn't the worst sequel I have read by any means (as you will see I did rate it 3.5/5), but it did fall flat for me. I feel like Merit really lost herself in this book mainly because of a boy (I felt similarly about Dante Valentine in Lilith Saint Crow's Dante Valentine series). I would have been okay with Merit and the fact that she seemed to only have eyes for Ethan had she been honest about it. But she wasn't. Whenever anyone would ask her, "Do you have feelings for Ethan", she would automatically reply with "NO!" and then clam up. Or even when she would think something along those lines, she would convince herself that she was wrong or just being silly. Here is a secret Merit... You really, really, really like Ethan. Accept it. But because she was unable to accept this fact, she just was all confused throughout the book and really missed out on some great opportunities (ie. in the Morgan department and whatnot). Also, the secondary characters that we were introduced to in "Good Girls Bite"? Anyone recall Mallory? Morgan? Jeff? Catcher? Her grandpa? Well, I just felt that they barely played a role in this book whatsoever. And I really missed them. I felt these characters really brought a lot of humor to the first book, but because they did not play all that large of a roll in this book, that humor that I had expected was pretty non-existent and I almost found the book to be too serious. All in all, as mentioned, it wasn't terrible by any means. I just hope that in the next book in the series, "Twice Bitten", that Merit is a lot more honest with both herself and the secondary characters.

On the plus side, I liked the first two books in this series. Definitely worth reading.However, I've read lots of better books from the same genre, so I can't in all honesty give this one more than 3 stars. Maybe 3.5, but Amazon doesn't support that. For example Kim Harrison, Charlaine Harris, Lynsay Sands, Kerrelyn Sparks, Jenna MacLaine are all writing lots of similar books and doing it better IMO. Still, considering that Ms. Neill is just starting, I have great hopes for her and I will keep reading her work.
