Merit goes toe to toe with a powerful and dangerous evil in this novel in the Chicagoland Vampires series.Since Merit was turned into a vampire, and the protector of Chicago’s Cadogan House, it’s been a wild ride. She and Master vampire Ethan Sullivan have helped make Cadogan’s vampires the strongest in North America, and forged ties with paranormal folk of all breeds and creeds, living or … creeds, living or dead…or both.
But now those alliances are about to be tested. A strange and twisted magic has ripped through the North American Central Pack, and Merit’s closest friends are caught in the cross-hairs. Gabriel Keene, the Pack Apex, looks to Merit and Ethan for help. But who—or what—could possibly be powerful enough to out-magic a shifter?

I’ve been writing reviews about the books I read for awhile now, and don’t know how I missed this. I love The Chicagoland Vampires series and have read every single one the moment it comes out. Chloe Neill does a phenomenal job taking Chicago and turning it into a completely fun town now that it has Vamps, Wolves, Wizards, et al. Having a police dept that is really just for the monster part of the city, run mostly by the heroine’s grandpa (who has to be constantly at odds with the actual CPD), having vamp houses that sound a lot more fun than the clubs I’ve been to (and I lived in Chicago my whole life!), and having characters that I’d love to meet completes the whole picture for a Vamp series as far as I’m concerned. It covers everything. And without being a sex series. We get wars, rogues, totally loyal groups, groups that show no loyalty at all, a heroine who learns to kick butt, a hero that already kicks butt, and runs the most famous house to boot, and secondary characters that make up everything you’d want in your own circle of friends, enemies, frenemies, or whatever you have in your life. I love these books and have recommended them to anyone who’d listen.
Sorry I took so long to review this particular one. You rank in my top ten, Ms. Neill!
I just can’t get enough of this series. I know that some series seem to drag after awhile, but for me, that’s not the case here. I love watching Merit and Ethan on their adventures and always can’t wait to see what the next challenge will be.
I’ll admit, I didn’t see this one coming. I don’t want to give spoilers, so I will just say that there will be a character return in a way I didn’t think possible.
I loved getting another look into the shifters and their ceremonies and activities within the pack. I love Gabriel and it’s fun to see him in action, both as a new father and as the leader of the pack. I also love seeing Jeff get more “action” in the story and I love that him and Fallon are still going strong. The gaming part of their relationship is too cute.
As always, it seems it’s up to Cadogan House and specifically Ethan and Merit to save the day for all the other sups, but this time at least it benefited them just about as much. I’m very curious to see how the next book goes with Ethan’s decision and the direction his life is going to take. Can’t wait to get started on the next book!
Holy Moly a lot goes on so get ready for the ride. Merit and Ethan have some big decisions to make and they are not easy. I really do like that they communicate.
The magical stuff in this book doesn’t really do it for me but I did really enjoy the shapeshifters and vampires working together. We really get a sense in who Jeff the Tiger shifter is from the Howling For You book.
Merit and Ethan are stronger than even and I love seeing their relationship grow. The trust and love they have in one another is sweet and I can’t wait to dive into the next book!
I always enjoy Chloe Neill’s books. I read the whole series in a week – now I’m just waiting for more.
Great series. Can’t wait for the next release!
