Wicked Hour

Heirs of Chicagoland Series, Book 2

De: Chloe Neill

Narrado por: Suzanne Elise Freeman

In the second pulse-pounding novel in the USA Today best-selling Heirs of Chicagoland series, vampire Elisa Sullivan gets drawn into the shifting sands of pack politics.

Vampires were made, not born - until Elisa Sullivan came along. As the only vampire child in existence, she grew up with a heavy legacy, and tried to flee her past. Then circumstances drew her back to Chicago, and she stayed to keep it safe. With shifter Connor Keene, the only son of Pack Apex Gabriel Keene, at her side, she faced down a supernatural evil that threatened to destroy Chicago forever.

After the dust from the attack has settled, Elisa is surprised when Connor invites her to a usually private Pack event in the north woods of Minnesota, and by the warm welcome she receives from some of Connor's family, even though she's a vampire. But the peace doesn't last. The shifters tell tales of a monster in the woods, and when the celebration is marred by death, Elisa and Connor find themselves in the middle of a struggle for control that forces Elisa to face her true self - fangs and all.

Awesome

Not your typical star crossed lovers

Great story and here’s to hoping for a HEA

That being different is good

I love the bravery, the mystery, and the way so many people see the same thing, but they all see it differently. Interesting analogies.

Exciting ride

I loved the story. The characters were well developed. I liked the mystery that woven into the lives of the characters. Thoroughly enjoyed!!

Can’t wait for the next one

I have read the entire series and love the spin off. It reminds me of watching The Originals and now watching Legacies on The CW.

excellent

it was very exciting to the very end I can't for the next book and see what happens

I am all into this series

I guess I should start off by saying possible SPOILER ALERTS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Connor invites Elisa to a shifter initiation that should be a straight forward event right ? Wrong ! Along the way they discover each other more as Elisa is introduced to the inner workings of shifter clans and politics. The relationship between Connor and Elisa is growing as well as the beast within Elisa. They discover that all is not as it seems within the Clan. The death of a young shifter female and rumors about a beast that is stalking the territory has all members of the clan on edge. Connor and Elisa run smack into a schism within the clan between the elders and the younger members. As Connor and Elisa investigate they find themselves on a path of lies and ultimate abuse of power with the clan . Not to mention the obstacles thrown in their path especially one by the name of Miranda along with the clan Elders. Events come to a head as Elisa is forced to make a decision that she can never undo and the clan may never forgive or accept. As Connor tries to defend Elisa he is becomes bound to this clan and placed in a position that secrets will be revealed. I love this series and can't wait for the next book. I definitely would recommend this series to anyone who loves vampires and shifters and the other paranormals in between. The narrator was very good. I usually buy the book and get the audio version so that I don't have to miss a thing. I have to admit that this time I only read a few pages and just listened to narrator wrap me up in this awesome story.

Great read.

Loved this book. The continuing story is great. Can't wait for the next one to find out what happens next in their story.

Family & Friends

I think the best sign for me of a good book is one where I personally would want to live in the world and be among the characters. That is growing more and more true with these two characters, who I still hope to become more a larger consistent group - more and more consistency of their friends and family would be great. While I didn’t love Ethan as a love interest, he is a great dad. Likewise with Merritt. I like the protagonist’s strength and Connor’s confidence - and of course their care and not cockiness. I like all the main-ish characters’ confidence and strength. It makes for a great group of people. It’s horrific what lack of confidence, insecurity, and care can wrought, as we see IRL. It’s why I’m using these fantasy books as an escape. Not all the fantasy books make me feel as warm and fuzzy as these first two have. Will definitely be reading on, and when they become unavailable will consider for purchase to re-read over and over. Maybe the only thing missing is more humor. I don’t laugh enough while listening, which is what keeps them at a 3.5 - 4 than solid 4 or 5.

love

another hit by ms. Neil! I may love these characters even more than merit and Ethan!

Conner and Elisa are almost there

These two kids are growing up and learning they are the perfect compliments to each other. Just like all of the Chicagoland books this is a story you don't want to stop listening to. What's next as for the prince and princess as they learn to deal with the politics and people from both groups.
