(4 out of 5)
This series was recommended to me by a trusted library patron. She hasn't steered me wrong yet. But I did have to ask her whether or not the main character, Merit, and the main hot and delicious vampire, Ethan, were ever going to hook up. Blasted she told me yes and no. She wasn't going to give it up. I'm just not sure I want to read several books where they are at arms length and never quite together because you know I have enough frustration in my life and I don't need that with a book series. She said to calm down, and to read the books. That I would like them. I told you she hasn't steered me wrong.
I did like the first book. It's nice reading about an area that you are familiar with. This is the first book in the Chicagoland Vampires series. Vampires have recently came out of the closet. People really aren't happy with the fact that they are living amongst the undead but, hey what can you really do. Merit is your average graduate student until she is attacked by a rogue vampire and left for dead. That is when she is changed into a vampire by the uberly hot and frustratingly old fashioned Ethan. He is rather old school wanting to be called Master and Liege. Ethan is rather put off when Merit doesn't fall at his feet in gratitude for saving her life. She didn't get a choice and she isn't really happy being fanged and having to drink blood.
It's hard enough trying to learn how to be a proper vampire when someone is still out to kill you. And life gets really interesting when she finds out her Grandfather is the Ombud (Police for the supernatural), her best friend is a burgeoning sorceress, and she finds out she has some wicked cool powers.
