Drink Deep (Chicagoland Vampires, #5)

This book was better than the last one, but I thought that the ending was almost as bad as Ethan dying!! What about Jonah? And what about Merit's grief? And it was truly predictable that Mallory was behind the black magic in Chicago... I don't see why Merit and Catcher didn't realize this a lot sooner. Merit had a better excuse than Catcher though, having to deal with Frank and his stupid rules for trying to dissolve Cadogan House. The chase after Tate, the nymphs, and other supernaturals were a total goose-chase, and really, it made my reading experience less good!

I am not at all a happy camper! The first three books were amazing, but then, the next two really weren't.

I can still not understand WHY Ethan had to die at the end of the last book. And it was a stupid way to make him 'come back' it made a lot of things happening seem like plot devices - not really necessary for the story to move forward! And yes, it was good to see that Merit could do things on her own, but then again, she had Jonah as her new partner, and they were able to help each other out. Jonah is a stand-up, yummy vampire, and he deserves to be number one in someone's life! Merit obviously won't be able to give him that. Also, I totally abhorr love-triangles! And I don't see how there won't be one in the coming books! Jonah is in love with Merit, and Merit obviously has feelings for him! And they do have a connection. However, with Ethan back, of course Merit will be with him.

I can't say I'm not disappointed... There were a lot of different ways this same story could have unfolded - without some of the really bad drama that happened.
