Hard Bitten: Chicagoland Vampires, Book 4

By: Chloe Neill

Narrated by: Cynthia Holloway

Times are hard for newly minted vampire Merit. Ever since shapeshifters announced their presence to the world, humans have been rallying against supernaturals - and they're camping outside of Cadogan House with protest signs that could turn to pitchforks at any moment. Inside its doors, things between Merit and her Master, green-eyed heartbreaker Ethan Sullivan, are tense. But then the mayor of Chicago calls Merit and Ethan to a clandestine meeting and tells them about a violent vamp attack that has left three women missing. His message is simple: get your House in order. Or else.

Merit needs to get to the bottom of this crime, but it doesn't help that she can't tell who's on her side. So she secretly calls in a favor from someone who's tall, dark, and part of an underground vamp group that may have some deep intel on the attack. Merit soon finds herself in the heady, dark heart of Chicago's supernatural society - a world full of vampires who seem to be ready to fulfill the protesting human's worst fears, and a place where she'll learn that you can't be a vampire without getting a little blood on your hands.

Kill me why don't you.

This one killed me.
It was going so good.
Then bam!
I got the feels so hard.

Amazing.... as expected!

Not much more to say, other than wow! Not happy with the plot twist BUT I'm holding onto hope from a previously mentioned "prophetic vision" that tells me the plot twist may not be true.... fingers crossed!

Well now, that was a surprise

and I won't reveal it, but, game change ending! It pleases me, as I was considering stopping my pursuit of these books because of a particular character dominating them.... well, now, there's been something of a shuffle, and I'm on to book 5.

Disappointed with one thing

I look forward to book 5, but that will be my last one in the series because I've gotten to like Cynthia Holloway narrating.

To change a reader in any series is stupid, in my view, and makes it hard at least for me, to finish a series.

Unexpected

No spoilers? Wow. I'm surprised. This is an interesting twist to the story and takes it in a totally new direction. Will see where it goes.

Good book/ series

I'm so glad I found this series every book holds me enrapt in the new adventure and intrigue that come to life.

It’s simple, I’m addicted.

I love the turns and twists of the Chicagoland Vampire Series. Each book weaves you into the fabric of the story so much so that I am in total mourning for Ethan. I hope the next book isn’t a disappointment.

Hell No

Ok I'm not mmuch for giving spoilers but this book is going to make me talk about what happened in it. I can't believe you killed Ethan. I liked him I'm just hoping you use Mallory to bring him back in the next book. On my way to find out.

Excellent Series

Really good last book in this series (I count this series as one of my all-time favorite of this genre) except for one really horrible awful thing that happens that was awful and horrible.

Anyway, well-written and very involving (except for that awful horrible thing that I mentioned above).

Twisted End

Series is pretty good so far. I like that adult heroine handles guy drama with maturity. Although, the concept of multiple guys interested at same time is annoying because it can be diminishing for self esteem of young women. Ok, off the soap box now and back to storyline... I am so happy that I found series after a lot of books were finished because this one has a shocking twist at the end that was heartbreaking. (I don't have to wait for release of next book. Yay!) You know it is good writing when it makes you dislike the author, which this one did for me. Hopefully she can repair my hearbreak as I quickly move to next book!
