The story of a young heiress's initiation into the dark society of the Chicagoland Vampires continues...
Ten months after vampires revealed their existence to the mortals of Chicago, they're enjoying a celebrity status usually reserved for the Hollywood elite. But should people learn about the Raves--mass feeding parties where vampires round up humans like cattle--the citizens will start sharpening their stakes.
So now it's up to the new vampire Merit to reconnect with her upper class family and act as liaison between humans and bloodsuckers, and keep the more unsavory aspects of the vampire lifestyle out of the media. But someone doesn't want peace between them--someone with an ancient grudge...
I like Merit, she's a rather fun character. Her adventures while she contrinues to try to adjust to life as a vampire I find a lot of fun, and largely refreshing. She's caught up in the politics of the region by vitrue of her connections and power and things are about to get more complicated.
She has to try to keep human-vampire relations sweet without appearing weak and try to understand centuries-old political structures without getting killed. I like how the author actually thinks through the implications of being centuries old and how traditions could be much different and how changing a vampire society could take time.
Sometimes the romance got in the way of the story for me but otherwise it was a lot of fun.
