Helpful Score: 3
Though I did obviously enjoy this book, it did have a few drawbacks. Ethan! Yeah I know everyone loves Ethan but I thought he was an asshat. And a medieval asshat at that! What was with all that "servicing the lord" crap? It's no wonder Merit rebelled. Heck I would have told him to shove it where the sun don't shine. And I just can't see why Merit is so interested in him, heck he has a girl whom he flaunts; and even though he obviously doesn't like her, he asks Merit to be his consort (read whore); his attitude is beyond annoying; and he really lacks the personality gene. I just don't get it...what exactly is the appeal? Oh I'm sure he'll come around and become human eventually, but until that point, why in the world would Merit waste her time and energy on him when there is another hot, sexy vamp waiting in the wings....Morgan! Now he is worth drooling over and he is obviously interested in Merit as a person and not an object for his personal gain and pleasure. Oh hell I guess Ethan really did piss me off so I'll get off my high-horse now.
With that said, I really did like this book. I loved Merit and her snark (heck all the characters had snark going on and it was fantastic). I love me some snark! It took Merit a while to come to terms with her new vampiric tendencies. After all she was turned without her consent but if the alternative was death, I would imagine being a vampire was preferable. Even though Merit is the heroine here, the secondary characters are also great. Her BFF would-be sorcerer Mallory Carmichael, her weapons/self-defense instructor sorcerer Catcher Bell, computer geek and shifter Jeff Christopher and Luc and Lindsey (Cadogan House guards).
This book concentrated on vampires but there are also shifters, fae and nymphs in Chicago and I'm thinking each species will get to be center stage at some point. The world building is interesting and these vampires actually eat (and a lot of food at that) in addition to drinking blood. I will definitely be reading Friday Night Bites.
