In the sixth book of the Chicagoland Vampires series, Chloe
Neill keeps readers right on the precipice of anticipation,
leaving them desperately clawing for something more.
For twenty-eight year old Merit, life still isn't slowing
down for her. Despite the fact that the most important
person in her life is back, things aren't the same for her
and Ethan Sullivan. Neill answers reader's prayers with the
return of Ethan in the last book, but what does his
presence entail now? Is he the same Ethan that readers knew
and loved? It is clear that Ethan has some thinking to do
and I'm not sure that all readers will be pleased with the
romantic development in this book. However, that is not to
say that there were some leaps in the right direction.
Though Merit's heart is being pushed and pulled in
different directions, she has more pressing matters to
attend to.
More important is the race to reach the Maleficium, an
ancient artifact that could potentially unleash unthinkable
evil into the world if placed in the wrong hands. Seth Tate
has been released from prison and is now looking to get his
grimy hands on the Maleficium as well. It's a race to the
bitter death. Added to that is the fact that Mallory,
Merit's former best friend has turned somewhat evil and is
out to get the Maleficium as well, but for far more
nefarious reasons.
BITING COLD explores repressed emotions, betrayal and
action in an enticing mix. While not my favorite of the
series, it will tempt readers enough to stay tuned to the
events and the prospects of what's to come.
Turned into a vampire against her will,
twenty-eight-year-old Merit found her way into the dark
circle of Chicago’s vampire underground, where she learned
there was more to supernaturals than met the eye—and more
supernaturals than the public ever imagined.
And not all the secrets she learned were for sharing—among
humans or inhumans.
Now Merit is on the hunt, charging across the stark American
Midwest, tailing a rogue supernatural intent on stealing an
ancient artifact that could unleash catastrophic evil on the
world. But Merit is also the prey. An enemy of Chicagoland
is hunting her, and he’ll stop at nothing to get the book
for himself. No mercy allowed.
