Why can't Merit just bitch slap Catcher AND Mallory? They both treat her like shit and she just takes it. Especially Catcher.

After the punch-you-in-the-face ending of Hard Bitten, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on Drink Deep. I enjoyed it as much as the next addicted-to-this-series reader but here are some spoiler annoyances (and they ARE spoilers, so don’t click them if you are going to read this):1. (view spoiler)[ Mallory? Seriously? It is unbelievable that Catcher didn’t notice what was going on. Get real. Your girlfriend is downstairs doing spells with a creepy leather book and hanging out with a black cat and t...

Hey People? This Ranting Review may spoil the book for you...read it at your own risk Okay? If you read it and it spoils something for you, don't come yelling at meBadass Book ReviewI'm out peeps. All done with Meritverse.I'm not sure I can adequately express my irritation with the character directions that seem to come out of left field, so I'm not even going to try. How can you spend four books cultivating relationships and then squander them away in the blink of an eye..or in the stake of a h...

I was pretty upset how the previous ended and how I would cope with just Merit.Ethan was the character I most like in this series, even when he's being a total idiot when it comes to Merit.Most of this story deals with some odds things happenning in Chicago. Some dark and bad magic is in the air and water and no one knows what it is or who is doing it.Merit teams up with Jonah from Grey House. I am not too keen with these two being a couple. I said in my previous review how Mallory totally irrit...

Miss Neill I gave you my trust so please do not abuse it!Also to fellow goodreads friends please do not take offense to any of my updates while reading this book, I do not take any responsibility for the words that come out of mouth! Update 5th November 2011So where do I begin?!?!?!This story reminded me so much of New Moon in the Twilight series. It was so...

4.5/5 stars. There are not that many books that are as massively and agonizingly awaited as Drink Deep. The only other one I can think of that kept me squirming and checking in my mail box this year was Shadowfever. (view spoiler)[incidentally, for the same reason. Ethan and Barrons both died, right? How odd. (hide spoiler)]I had been left very underwhelmed by Hard Bitten - well, final jaw-dropper aside obviously - and I was therefore suspicious of this new book, wondering how Neill would ext

*Spoiler-Free* Don't worry, Chicagoland fans. *pat pat* Everything will be okay.4.5 starsIt's been two months since the nail-biting events of Hard Bitten, and Merit is still dealing with the fall-out from what occurred. As Cadogan House is investigated for mismanagement and blood rations keep everyone on edge, there's also trouble when Lake Michigan suddenly turns black and fingers are pointed at the vamps. Merit must work together with Jonah, the attractive captain of the guards at Grey House,

*3.5*Drink Deep is a hard book to review without issuing spoilers. Forgive me if this ends up on the vague side.I bought the book at this week’s New York Comic Con, only realizing once I got home that I’d beat the general release by two weeks. Yay for publishers exhibiting at cons! The last installment of Chicagoland Vamps left fans reeling. It was a game-changer, and although I wasn’t surprised by the events of that book, I was anxious to see how Neill would play things out. The answer is…a lit...

If you're a fan of the Chicagoland Vampires series and you haven't read this book yet, there's only one reason you are reading this review. You want to know if somehow... some way... Ethan comes back. Well, let me address this right off the bat. (view spoiler)[ There is no way in hell I am going to answer that. Come on, guys, it's about the journey, not the destination! (hide spoiler)]Without spoiling anything, I can tell you that I did alot of crying. Again. It's been two month since the events...

I am not going to give away any spoilers but I am afraid if you know me you will try and read between the lines. I don't think I give anything away but if you are close to me you may want to wait to read this.Hard Bitten, hurt me. I was a mess from that ending. And when I was reading Drink Deep, I swear I am a crazy mess but out of no where I would picture those moments with Ethan and Merit. There was no reason for it but I was like seriously longing for it. I would be reading then I would get c...

Well. My one-book-brief love affair with this series has certainly come to an end. Why Drink Deep is the greatest disappointment of 2011:1. Story = Filler. Until the very last 2 chapters or so, most of the story is pretty much nonexistent and it's apparent that Neill tried (and failed, I might add) to build up the suspense about what will become of Ethan, and the "story" part of the book was simply added out of obligation. Really, NOTHING happens in Drink Deep. If you haven't yet read the book:

The first three books of this series I loved and adored. I recommended them to many based on their snark and action appeal. But then Hard Bitten came along, and at the end, the vampire hero Ethan dies. Stake in the heart, turns to ashes. The end. I did the whole – wait, what? Let me read that again. Seriously? I may have thrown the book across the room. I’m all for cliff hangers – I enjoy being miserable along with my friends. But this just didn’t feel right. After 3 books, and most of 4, I didn...

Scary skinny ugly chick on cover... :/ huh? Why?

3.5 starsWarning - may contain mild spoilers....OK. I had high hopes for this one. I mean, after the events of the last book, or rather the last agonizing 10 pages; the author had to give us something, right? Well…it wasn’t enough. It really felt like something was lacking in the book. I couldn’t stay focused on the story. Many reviewers have said it and I’ll reiterate: Not enough Ethan!Sure, Jonah steps in to fill the void. Jonah is great – he’s gorgeous, he’s smart, he’s an incredible guy. The...

This was another amazing 5 star book in this series. It’s still unpredictable, entertaining, with amazing characters and magic in abundance. Although not all the magic is good. I enjoy all the different problems that arise and how the characters work through them together and on there own. Merit is an amazing vampire and star of the series, she goes to all lengths necessary too save lives, Chicago and stamp out evil.

Perhaps I was overly generous with my review of book 4 - I see no mention of Ethan in that synopsis...he better be in the book.

I personally don't think I can survive if 'you-know-who' (dont want to spoil hard bitten)doesn't come back.I think i speak for everybody when i say PLEASE,PLEASE,PLEASE bring him back!!

~~~ Before I start I should let you know that I made a little “explanation corner” at the bottom of my review. I think I’ll start using this more since I use funky words most people don’t understand. So if you see a “*” or something know what you should go to the bottom of the page blah blah blah you get it, you’re smart kids ~~~I can’t express how happy I am right now. No no, calm down people, I’m not happy because this book is awesome. I’m happy because I’m finally done with it. My fire needs

Rating: 4 1/2 stars Let’s take Drink Deep section by section. Except I’m going to do something different.I'm going to start backwards. Yes, from the ending to the middle and the beginning. The ending was worth the slumpy beginning and the slushy middle. The EndingThe ending had an apocalyptic feel with all the destruction, intrigue and deceptions. There are betrayals and revelations. The plot twists were enough to catch me off guard. Still, as far-fetched as it all was, the author made me believ...

This series will never be the same without Ethan! I dont know how your gonna make him come back...but he MUST comeback!!!!
