Review
Praise for the Chicagoland Vampires Novels:
"A wonderfully compelling vampire heroine."
-_USA Today_ Bestselling Author Julie Kenner
"If you loved Nancy Drew but always wished she was an undead sword-wielding badass, Merit is your kind of girl."
-Geek Monthly (geekmonthly.com)
"Smart, sexy, and delightful. A must-read."
-Candace Havens, author of Dragons Prefer Blondes
"A fun cast of quirky characters and smoking' hot sexual tension...A stunning combination."
-Tate Hallaway, author of Honeymoon of the Dead
"There's a new talent in town, and if this debut is any indication, she's here to stay. Not only does Neill introduce an indomitable and funny heroine, her secondary characters are enormously intriguing and make terrific foils. While the tone of this first-person Chicagoland Vampire series starter is generally light, there is an undercurrent of danger. Truly excellent."

Product Description
"Neill creates a strong-minded, sharp-witted heroine who will appeal to fans of Charlaine Harris's Sookie Stackhouse series and Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake." -_Library Journal_
Times are hard for newly minted vampire Merit. Ever since shapeshifters announced their presence to the world, humans have been rallying against supernaturals-and they're camping outside of Cadogan House with protest signs that could turn to pitchforks at any moment. Inside its doors, things between Merit and her Master, green-eyed heartbreaker Ethan Sullivan are...tense. But then the mayor of Chicago calls Merit and Ethan to a clandestine meeting and tells them about a violent vamp attack that has left three women missing. His message is simple: get your House in order. Or else.
Merit needs to get to the bottom of this crime, but it doesn't help that she can't tell who's on her side. So she secretly calls in a favor from someone who's tall, dark, and part of underground vamp group that may have some deep intel on the attack. Merit soon finds herself in the heady, dark heart of Chicago's supernatural society-a world full of vampires who seem ready to fulfill the protesting human's worst fears, and a place where she'll learn that you can't be a vampire without getting a little blood on your hands...
