Chloe Neill

In this thrilling new novella from New York Times bestselling author Chloe Neill, vampire Merit bites off more than she bargained for when she takes a trip to a secluded Colorado town filled with feuding supernaturals... Merit and Ethan are in desperate need of some alone time, far from the worries of Cadogan House, but trouble tends to follow wherever they go. Their attempt at a romantic getaway is quickly interrupted when one of Ethan's vampire friends shows up at their door - covered in blood and accused of killing her shifter husband. Merit and her Master soon discover their vacation spot is far less idyllic than it appears. A centuries old quarrel between local vampires and shifters has made the town a perpetual supernatural battle zone, and this fresh blood has stirred the already volatile mix. Now, Merit and Ethan must put their passion on pause to figure out who's really responsible for the murder before all hell break loose...

A Chicagoland Vampires Novella

Lucky Break

Short review time.



Because YES, I can totally write those as well. When I'm feeling lazy. Or when I'm reading such a 
  fantastically exciting book
 that I just can't put it down and have no time to waste on silly reviews. (view spoiler)[ <--this is me trying to be funny (hide spoiler)]



Right. So. Lucky Break. I have to admit I've never been a vampire fan (view spoiler)[ I'm more of a howlbanger kind of girl  (hide spoiler)] but I'm seriously addicted to Chicagoland Vampires. Someone once told me it had to be because the vampires here act like shapeshifters. Figures. {eyerolling allowed here}

Anyway. It's the first time I give an instalment in this series less than a 4-star rating. But I have a very valid excuse. This story is way too cheesy for me. I don't do cheesy. But you already knew that didn't you? If there's one thing this series hasn't been so far it's cheesy. So this was pretty disappointing. And sugar-shock inducing. Then again I have a very low threshold for romantic crap so I guess most of you would consider the mushiness factor to be barely noticeable here. I'd say it takes up about 30% of the story (with tears and romantic resolution included) which is much more than I can take.



And yet I still enjoyed this. Because Merit. She kicks serious butt. She does has deliciously aggravating Darth Sullivan. And she eats like four (or five). Gotta love a girl with such a healthy appetite. I rest my case. (view spoiler)[ <--see, I told you I could write short reviews, o ye of little faith. (hide spoiler)]
