Cadogan House has just received news that they have been blacklisted by the GP. This means that no other house under the GP may have contact with them or they will receive harsh penalties. Merit and Ethan are drawn into a new mystery when an anti-vampire riot breaks out in Chicago and a business is nearly destroyed by fire. As they try to discover who is behind the riot, another one takes place. This time Grey House is destroyed and their vamps have no place to go. Ethan offers Scott Grey and hi...

Now that is a cliffhanger if I have ever seen one! And a delicious one at that! (Yes, I'm the weird one out... I love a good cliffy!) But luckily the next book is out so I only have to stew for a little while!The book had a weak start but it definitely picked up along the way! Not my favorite in the series but a very good addition overall.

Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsBiting Bad was reminiscent of the earlier Chicagoland Vampires novels and I for one couldn’t be happier! The first three installments are what hooked me on this series and this latest one has ensured that I’ll continue reading these books for a long time to come, especially with all of the promising new novellas that are already in the pipeline. This novel is Ethan/Merit drama free which was a huge relief because readers can now actually focus on Chloe Neill’s phenomenal

Just as Merit is trying to have a normal dinner at her favorite pizza place with Mallory, all hell breaks loose. Humans are rioting against vampires and have thrown Molotov cocktails at a business that makes Blood4You. Unfortunately, they don't stop there. I know I've said it before...and I'll just have to keep saying it ~ I just love Ethan and Merit. They never get old, boring or dull for me. Heck, the whole book could be just about them eating and sleeping and I would LOVE it. Well, okay...may...

Out of nowhere, a faction of humans in the city began rioting against the presence of vampires in the city. As the supernaturals begin strategizing on how to manage the situation, the company supplying the vampires with their non-human blood is attacked, severely damaging the building and inventory. Merit and Ethan suspect something more is at play when the next strike hits close to home. And, the General Presidium is acting up again (big surprise). One of the best scenes in this story involves

"Anything I need to know before we go in there?...Is Buffy the Vampire Slayer her personal savior?""Because that would bum you out?""The slaying part would, yeah. Not the Joss part. We all love Joss." And then Merit gets her ass kicked by a middle-aged woman. Human woman. As a matter of fact, Merit gets her ass kicked a lot in this book. It made me happy. *evil laugh* Because Merit was getting a little too cocky in the last book. A brand new vampire, and yet she was suddenly the baddest ba

I feel like she's going to get pregnant. It's just a thought. But....it seems like that's where this is going since the last book. And I find that to be really awesome.Update: So it didn't happen but there's always the future...And I was slightly disappointed in this book. I loved all the fluffy Methan time but I feel like Merit is usually much tougher then this. I don't know, maybe I wanted her to not be constantly choked out or easily hurt. But alas, I must wait for the next one.new update 201...

Biting Bad is not lacking in humor, nor excitement or even romance, however, I'm still having a little trouble with trust when it comes to Chicagoland...This and all my other reviews are originally posted on my blog (un)Conventional Bookviews

It's not that I don't like the series. I used to be such a big fan of it, but lately I was barely able to finish the last books. And this one just did it for me. I'm quitting the series, it pains me so badly, but I won't read any more books in it ever again.I guess I just kept hoping it would become once again what it used to, but it never did. I don't even think I'll write a review. It would not be fair as I didn't actually finish the book. Sorry Chloe Neill, I really did try.

5 Stars! Now that's the way to move a series forward! Chloe Neill kicked it up a notch and there is new life among the living dead!! I blew through this book!! The one thing I absolutely loved about this book...Ethan and Merit are SOLID!! For the first time since this series started, these two trust and love each other without question! No wavering whatsoever!! I was happy to see them close this chapter in their relationship, no more discord, and move forward together, and I hope the author kee

Originally posted at Reading RainblogLet me start by saying that I have been a fan of the Chicagoland Vamps since Some Girls Bite – and this may be my most favorite (I am totally fan-girling) book of the bunch so far. And, no, I don’t just say that when each book comes out – before this, my favorite was Hard Bitten (even though I hated the end – why Chloe, why?!?).I absolutely, completely adored Merit & Ethan in this book. Ethan especially. Merit was her usual kick-ass, snarky self, but Ethan ha...

⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱*Fuck. Me.*⋰⋱⋰⋱⋰⋱ Re-read: 04.02.2018 Skimming. Yes you heard me. I'm skimming a book that used to be one of my favorites. I am doomed. Like really, really doomed. I hate that I have changed so dammed much. I'm supposed to love this series, for god's sake! Ugh, fuck me.The characters:— Caroline ‘Merit’ ‘Mer’ Evelyn Merit (becomes vampire at 27, but is 28 in years), Sentinel of the Cadogan House.— Ethan ‘Liege’ ‘Darth Sullivan’ Sullivan (394, though became a vampire at 30), master of

I love the Chicagoland Vampires series - I'm on a mission to finish the series before the spin off comes out sometime next year.

It took a while for me to really get into this series but I am happy that I didn’t give up!!Right now, I am loving the Chicagoland Vampires world that’s filled with some of the most quirky, original and funny characters ever….and a very unforgettable, classy and sexy vampire named Ethan Sullivan!!!! “I’m rarely good, Merit. But I’m often spectacular.” I want Ethan as my boyfriend!!! Please make me a vampire!!!! And not forgetting the memorable Merit!! Yes!! I own up!!! F...

SpoilersBoring. The plot was the run off the mill 'silly human hate group targets vampires for cliched and cheesy reasons, riots and lame investigation follows.' It was all so dull and unimaginative. Ugh.Random thoughts:-Merit was such a Mary Sue. She had very little personality and everything she said or did was predictable. Also, any time she was melodramatic or overly emotional it made me either cringe or roll me eyes. Basically, Merit was so bland that whenever she had any over the top emoti...

After a few rather disappointing installments, I’m happy to report that the Chicagoland series seems to have taken an upward turn. A significant improvement was noticeable in House Rules, but with Biting Bad, we’re right back on track. This eighth installment is just as good as the first two and it decidedly proves that the series has a lot more to give.In terms of plot, Biting Bad offers more of the same, but it’s a recipe that undoubtedly works. Merit and Ethan face enemies both human and vamp...

It's a lot of the same as in previous books but I still enjoy them.

”Word moves quickly,” I said.“As does violence,” Catcher said. “And we all have our parts to play.”And here is another one of my “What I liked vs. What I didn’t like” reviews. As always here’s a short reminder to those of you who didn’t read the former books. Don’t read my review if you don’t know the series, there might be spoilers that would … well, spoil your fun. *lol* This is an official warning, I take no responsibility for trespassing this point. ;-P What I liked:- Luc and Lindsey (vie...

No more. This was my last Chicago Vampire series book. They just keep getting worse. This hasn't reached LKH level of fandom-violation, but this book & one of the first three of this series have very little in common. It was so lackluster in holding my attention that I decided to take a break to go pick up dog poop from the back yard right as Ethan & Merit arrive at her parents house for dinner. How bad is that? Ms Neill is turning this series into mostly relationship drama & Merit into a wimp h...

I will add quotes later, when I'm not swamped with work and don't feel really sick and gross. This series is too amazing to simply slap a star rating on without a little show and tell of why I love it so....I'll be back. Again, when I can type more than a few words without a mess-up.
