Then, at the end of the story, it’s all happily ever after. They’re in love, they get their shit together, then something happens and it all goes up in flames. I still really enjoy this series, but the Ethan and Merit saga is starting to get a little old. Which just makes me want to read the next novel even more… I just have to dig it out of my shelves first…

I was pretty much 100% wrong on both aspects. I thought that some aspects of this novel would carry on until the next and some would cease to exist in this story. I really wasn’t expecting the ending to this story.

Right down to where the different branches of the police are called in. I love that there is a hugely political spin to not just all of the character interactions, but also huge aspects of the storyline. Probably because it deals a lot more with the inter-politics between humans and vampires – most stories they are not political stories which are discussed between the two races. There is something a little more unique about Chicagoland Vampires in the genre of vampire stories. And I love that in Biting Bad, they’ve finally found their sweet-spot with their different character quirks and managed to find their happily ever after. But, as this series has evolved, that stubbornness has had a truly endearing quality. At first it was supremely frustrating… stubborn and stubborn just constantly clashing and butting heads. What more could a girl ask for?Įthan and Merit have taken a long, long time to find their happy-place in their relationship. It had all of that paranormal fun that I was hoping for, plus a number of riots and a lot of sword-wielding. This was almost a revamp of the energy that I found in the first few Chicagoland Vampires books.

I kind of expected to get the same feeling from Biting Bad, but figured I’d give it a shot anyway. It was a good book, but didn’t really grab my attention, and so I took a break from this series. I remember being a bit “eh” about House Rules.
