Book description:





The story of a young heiress’s initiation into the dark society of the Chicagoland Vampires continues…


Ten months after vampires revealed their existence to the mortals of Chicago, they’re enjoying a celebrity status usually reserved for the Hollywood elite. But should people learn about the Raves—mass feeding parties where vampires round up humans like cattle—the citizens will start sharpening their stakes.


So now it’s up to the new vampire Merit to reconnect with her upper class family and act as liaison between humans and bloodsuckers, and keep the more unsavory aspects of the vampire lifestyle out of the media. But someone doesn’t want peace between them—someone with an ancient grudge…




Book review:






Merit is back. She is facing a new problem that Merit does not know she is ready to deal with at this time. Merit is moving into the mansion with her fellow vampire ‘family.’ She has managed to avoid the source of her angst, her liege and master Ethan Sullivan. Luckily, she has her other family to be there for her when she needs it.






Just as soon as she is in her new place and her relationship with rival vampire master, Morgan things start to go down hill fast. Ethan wants Merit to return to her father’s good graces to do some undercover work. She grudgingly agrees. The more Merit discovers the fewer things make sense. She wonders who can be betraying Cadogan house once more.






With that said, we now get to romance banter that going on with Morgan, Merit and Ethan. Those can create that explosive combination every time they are in each other’s presence.






Merit enjoys her time with Morgan. He is everything she looks for in a man but she train of thoughts leave her mind once Ethan enters the picture.






Chloe Neill has returned with the most anticipated sequel this year. Merit has finally moved into Cadogan House. She is currently dating rival master Morgan but cannot seem to help wonder if he is the one.


Ethan has managed to ‘order’ Merit to get back into her father’s good graces in order to figure out a dangerous plot out to destroy the peace between the vampires, humans and other species.






There is more intrigue going on that even Ethan did not count on. Merit has her work cut out for her if she is discover the real culprit(s).






Like the previous Chicagoland Vampire Novel, Ms. Neill continues to charm us with her vivid imagination and exciting characters.






Her plot just thickens with her who done it storyline that get more addicting with each new page. In addition, things are sure heating up between the love triangle of Morgan, Merit and Ethan.






I definitely cannot help myself. I have read this over and over again. I lost count just how many times I have read Friday Night Bites. I love of both Merit men and/or potential men. However, I am definitely on Team Morgan.






Sorry for the ramblings about my new favorite male character Morgan that I cannot but talk about.




Will Morgan win over his ladylove, Merit?

What does Ethan really feel for his sentinel?


Has the war for the survival of humankind begun?


Which of Merit’s men is going to be left standing once the smoke clear?




I give Friday Night Bites a rating of 5 Stars.

Read excerpt here


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.
