Being a Chicago native, I just could not pass
this book up. Loving the supernatural, especially vampires,
I had to see just what Chloe Neill had to say in this
installment of the Chicagoland Vampires series. I was
pleased to discover that this book is well written and fast
paced; keeping the reader entertained all the way through to
the end.
TWICE BITTEN is the third book in the series. To be able to
follow the story, I recommend that you start with the first
book. With characters full of depth, this book is a good
read. Merit, a new vamp trying to hone her abilities, is
under the guidance of Ethan, her vampire master. With the
nation's shapeshifters convening in Chicago, Merit is
charged with protecting the alpha, Gabriel Keene, while
trying to determine who wants him dead.
As Merit and Ethan deal with assassins and explosions, they
must also deal with their own feelings. Their relationship
definitely steams up the pages. Merit is a strong willed
woman but, at times, she seems a bit over enthralled with
Ethan; almost to the point that she loses touch with the
rest of the world. Hopefully, as this series progresses, we
will see their relationship become more balanced. Though
this book is definitely not a love story, it is a personal
and touching story.
In addition to the relationship, I enjoyed the many
supernaturals we are introduced to in this book and the
political hierarchy that comes with each. Their
conflicts with the vampire world made for an interesting read.
TWICE BITTEN is a nice addition to the Chicagoland Vampires
series. Chloe Neill does a good job of
pulling you in and keeping you turning the pages
until the end. If you enjoy vampires and action, this is the
book for you.
Shapeshifters from across the country are convening in the
Windy City, and as a gesture of peace, Master Vampire Ethan
Sullivan has offered their leader a very special bodyguard:
Merit, Chicago's newest vampire. Merit is supposed to
protect the Alpha, Gabriel Keene-and to spy for the vamps
while she's at it. Oh, and luckily Ethan's offering some
steamy, one-on-one combat training sessions to help her
prepare for the mission.
Unfortunately, someone is
gunning for Gabriel, and Merit soon finds herself in the
line of fire. She'll need all the help she can get to track
down the would-be assassin, but everywhere she turns, there
are rising tensions between supernaturals-not least between
her and a certain green-eyed, centuries-old master vampire.
