Chicagoland Vampires #1: Some Girls Bite

Some Girls Bite by Chloe Neill
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

First in a brand new series about a Chicago graduate student’s introduction into a society of vampires.“Sure, the life of a graduate student wasn’t exactly glamorous, but it was Merit’s. She was doing fine until a rogue vampire attacked her. But he only got a sip before he was scared away by another bloodsucker-and this one decided the best way to save her life was to make her the walking undead.

Turns out her savior was the master vampire of Cadogan House. Now she’s traded sweating over her thesis for learning to fit in at a Hyde Park mansion full of vamps loyal to Ethan “Lord o’ the Manor” Sullivan. Of course, as a tall, green-eyed, four-hundred- year-old vampire, he has centuries’ worth of charm, but unfortunately he expects her gratitude- and servitude. But an inconvenient sunlight allergy and Ethan’s attitude are the least of her concerns. Someone’s still out to get her. Her initiation into Chicago’s nightlife may be the first skirmish in a war-and there will be blood.”

I was recommended this series after putting a request out to all my vampire loving friends. I loved it.

A good start to a series that shows a lot of promise. We are only just getting to know the main protagonists, but I loved the fast paced feel to the story and am desperate to see the relationships between the characters develop. Great “modern” vampire story with it’s own twist.

It reminds me a lot of Jeaniene Frost‘s Night Huntress series – funny, fast and sexy with a promise to get better as the series continues. Can’t wait for the next installment and am so grateful for the recommendation.
