Nine books into the Chicagoland Vampires series and
Chloe
Neill still manages to keep readers engaged and wanting more
of Merit.
Since Merit turned into a vampire and holds the position as
the protector of Cadogan House, a lot of responsibilities
rest on her shoulders. When magic tears through the North
American Central pack, Gabriel Keene, the Pack Apex, looks
to Merit and her love interest and Master vampire Ethan
Sullivan for help.
Right from the get go, there is this highly charged energy
that works as an undercurrent in these pages. It brings a
certain excitement and fast-paced tempo that doesn't really
slow until the end of the book. I think much of this has to
do with Neill's writing style. Tightly-written and to-the-
point, Neill doesn't waste time with elaborate descriptions,
but gives just enough to give reader's an idea of the
surroundings and allows them to create from there.
Furthermore, Merit's voice is so finely honed now that it
seems almost effortless on Neill's part. Yet at the same
time, I know the author works hard to keep the consistency
in her character.
The realm that Neill has built continues to remain inviting
and constantly evolving. Readers will get to see more of the
mundane as well as the supernatural. In addition to that, a
lot of the familiar faces in the series play a huge role in
what I would consider a constructed family of vampires and
sorcerers.
WILD THINGS is one of my favourites of the series so far.
The stunning characterization and world building work
together to create a page-turner that is impossible to set
down. This is not a book to be missed!
Since Merit was turned into a vampire, and the protector of
Chicago’s Cadogan House, it’s been a wild ride. She and
Master vampire Ethan Sullivan have helped make Cadogan’s
vampires the strongest in North America, and forged ties
with paranormal folk of all breeds and creeds, living or
dead…or both.
But now those alliances are about to be tested. A strange
and twisted magic has ripped through the North American
Central Pack, and Merit’s closest friends are caught in the
crosshairs. Gabriel Keene, the Pack Apex, looks to Merit and
Ethan for help. But who—or what—could possibly be powerful
enough to out-magic a shifter?
Merit is about to go toe to toe, and cold steel to cold
heart, to find out.
