Fresh Fiction Review

House Rules
Chloe Neill

Paranormal

In book seven of the Chicagoland Vampires series, Chloe Neill shows the growth and development of her kickass sword- wielding vampire heroine, Merit. Succumbing to a boatload of obstacles hasn't deterred her from the one thing she wants most -- her Master, Ethan Sullivan. In HOUSE RULES, Merit and Ethan come together in a relationship that is just beginning to bloom, but other problems seem to be shouting for attention at the moment. When two Rogues have gone missing, it is up to Merit and Ethan to locate Oliver and Eve before their foe targets more vampires in Chicago. Time is running out as tensions rise and a few twists along the way make for an interesting ride for Merit and Ethan. I enjoyed HOUSE RULES more than its predecessor mostly because I felt that Neill really made some progress with the plot and the relationships that readers are most looking forward to in this book. It felt more solid, moving forward as the character show some growth and I enjoyed the pacing of this book more than the last one. HOUSE RULES brought the series back on track for me and I think readers will be excited to see the sparkle that comes along with this series that we have missed as of late.

SUMMARY

"At the tender age of twenty-seven, Merit became a sword-wielding vampire. Since then, she's become the protector of her House, watched Chicago nearly burn to the ground, and seen her Master fall and rise. Now she'll see her mettle--and her metal--tested like never before. It starts when two Rogues vanish without a trace. Someone is targeting Chicago's vampires, and anyone could be next. With their House in peril, Merit and her Master, centuries-old Ethan Sullivan, must race to stop the disappearances. But as they untangle a web of secret alliances and ancient evils, they realize their foe is more familiar, and more powerful, than they could have ever imagined"--
