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.
My favourite thing about this series so far is how the author makes the vampires feel like an extension of humans. A dangerous extension of course but they still have very human problems. In this case that problem is drugs that make the vampires extra vicious. I also really love the mystery vibes in these books. Not only is it about vampires and other supernatural beings, but it's about Merit trying to solve all these crimes so that she can keep her house safe. It's a great mixture of the two genres!
