Meet Merit, a "wonderfully compelling vampire heroine" (USA Today bestselling author Julie Kenner).
Chicago is beset by supernatural tensions, and Merit-vampire protector of a safe haven called Cadogan house-is worried that the humans will be reaching for their pitchforks any minute. It doesn't help that yet another vampire rave is broken up by the mayor, and a new inhibition- reducing drug is circulating through the community.
It's up to Merit to put her house in order-literally. And if that takes getting a little blood on her hands, so be it.
This one started slowly for me but as it went on and the action ramped up it few by. And then the end, Merit learns something about her father and something else breaks her heart, oh wow, that came out of nowhere.
Merit is working as sentinel, doing research about a new drug on the market that's making vampires uninhibited, more bloodthirsty, which is putting the vampire community in danger from the human community. Making the already fragile peace even more fragile. To add to the stress there's a vampire from England assesing Cadogan House, and he's not sure that peace with humanity is a good thing.
Some moments flowed better than others but overall it was a very interesting read and I'm looking forward to the next in the series.
