Book Description
First in a brand new series about a Chicago graduate student?s introduction into a society of vampires.
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 ?Lord o? the Manor? 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.

A Must Read!,
By Avery Greaves "Avery's Book (and Other Fun St... (Canada) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Some Girls Bite: A Chicagoland Vampires Novel (Paperback)
Typically I rate book boys based on their swoon-worthiness (ie. wholesome boys with their Abercrombie and Fitch model looks, sweet/ caring personalities and awesome senses of humor). But the boys in this book? Well they are in a league of their own, they surpass the swoon-worthy category and land smack-dab in the centre of the smoldering category. Seriously between Catcher, Ethan, and Morgan, a girl has nothing to complain about!Merit (a name that I now love) may seriously be the most kick-butt girl I have ever come across. Seriously (move aside Faythe, Ellie and Isabella). She is so dynamic- from her wit, to her obvious intelligence, to her aforementioned kick-buttness. As for the secondary characters in this book? Well usually I loathe the secondary characters, I just feel like they are unnecessary or get in the way (or both at the same time *shudder*), but the secondary characters in this book? Well I don't think that there was one that I didn't like (though I will admit that there are a couple I like more than others *cough, cough, 21 year old Jeff who is a video-game addict/ mysterious shifter* or Mallory. Oh Mallory, or who I like to call seriously-the-best-friend-any-one-could-ever-ask-for-because-she-doesn't-let-anything-faze-her). All in all? This book reminds me of what I am missing out on by skipping over adult PNR and almost exclusively focusing on YA paranormal. From this moment on I vow to seek out other adult PNR like this to read and I vow to read all of Chloe Neill's remaining books.

Pros: I liked this book, and I want more. Lots of action, humor, sexy, no porn scenes.Cons: I didn't get the 5 references to Buffy sprinkled all over the book. None of them made any sense in context IMO. Too bad, because BtVS is my favorite show. Oh well, the intention was good :) If you like books by Lynsay Sands, Kim Harrison or Charlaine Harris, you should probably give this series a try too.

By TeensReadToo "Eat. Drink. Read. Be Merrier." (All Over the US & Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Some Girls Bite: A Chicagoland Vampires Novel (Paperback)
In Chicago, the vampires outed themselves. Although they'd been living among humans for years, they decided it was time to let the truth be known.Vampires belong to houses, similar to a sorority/fraternity. Each house has a master, deciding everything for his/her house. Life afterwards stays peaceful - until one night a graduate student was attacked on campus. Merit became a vampire without giving consent after a rogue vampire ripped out her throat. She's not adjusting well to her new life. Now she has ten days to learn the rules of the vampire world and swear an oath to her new master. Merit doesn't want to play by the rules, but she might have no choice in the matter. When a body turns up, both worlds, human and vampire, begin to talk. A rogue vampire is killing girls - girls who look a lot like Merit. She has to watch her back, but how can she when she doesn't know whom to trust? Choloe Neill sinks her teeth into a new series that will attract both teen and adult readers alike. The CHICAGOLAND VAMPIRES series starts with a bang and leaves you anxious for more. Reviewed by: Jennifer Rummel
