Don’t expect a happy ending to this one

March 12, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

Spoiler warning! I found it impossible to review this book without revealing plot details that would probably be considered spoilery, so if you like to start a book without knowing much, probably skip this review. Also, this book is a PREQUEL, best read after you finish the full thirteen book series by Kim Harrison. As of me writing this, the first book is on sale for $2.99. In a world where humans are the dominant species, they are fully unaware that there are a number […]

Elementary Magic is Afoot

March 10, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

I’m not sure how to start this review without giving away the big shocker at the end of the previous book so I guess SPOILER ALERT – the leader of Cadogan House was staked and turned into ash.  Ethan Sullivan lunged in front of Merit, to protect her from the stake meant for her, leaving her grieving along with the rest of the vampires that he had been leader of.  I was quite surprised Ms Neill went that route, killing off a major character so […]

A Cliffhanger Ending I Wasn’t Expecting

March 6, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

Times are hard for new vampire Merit. Since shapeshifters announced their presence to the world, humans have been rallying against supernaturals, and inside Cadogan House, things between Merit and her Master, Ethan Sullivan, are…tense. Worst of all, a violent vampire attack has left three women missing, and the mayor of Chicago has a simple demand for Merit and Ethan: Get your House in order. Or else. This is book four in the Chicagoland Vampire series, picking up where the last book left off.  Merit and […]

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

March 1, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

Once again, into the fray with Merit and the rest of the vamps in Chicago.  In this book, she is settling more into the role of Sentinel at Cadogen House, and still fighting an attraction to Ethan Sullivan, leader of the house and the vampire who made her.  She’s also on the outs with Mallory, her BFF, but she is trying hard to fit in with the rest of vamps and improve on her fighting skills. In this book, the shifters and their leader are […]

The continuing adventures of the freakishly beautiful supernaturals

February 21, 2017 by Malin Leave a Comment

3.5 stars This is book 9 in a series. It’s really not the place to start. If you want to join in at the beginning, start with Angels’ Blood. Two years have passed since the last book in the series, and Elena is slowly growing stronger, even though she’s virtually a baby in angel terms. The Cascade seems to be on hold, and all the archangels are trying to investigate what exactly is going on in China in the murderous Lijuan’s territory. Has she gone […]

Bite Me

February 20, 2017 by Mikki Blu Leave a Comment

So my reading choices this year seem to be all over the place – my usual genre is historical romance and I haven’t read as many of those so far.  My latest book took me back to the vampire world, a genre I’d read extensively a few years ago.  This is the second book in the Chicagoland Vampires and features a young woman newly turned vampire in Chicago, where vampires and shape shifters are out in the open.  I haven’t read the first one, but […]
