About this listen

Merit has been a vampire for only a short while, but she's already seen a lifetime's worth of trouble. She and her Master, centuries-old Ethan Sullivan, have risked their lives time and again to save the city they love. But not all of Chicago is loving them back. Anti-vampire riots are erupting all over town, striking vampires where it hurts the most.

A splinter group armed with Molotov cocktails and deep-seated hate is intent on clearing the fanged from the Windy City come hell or high water. Merit and her allies rush to figure out who's behind the attacks, who will be targeted next, and whether there's any way to stop the wanton destruction. The battle for Chicago is just beginning, and Merit is running out of time.

outstanding story as usual and a terrific performance! Many plot twists and turns and of course surprises well worth the read.

Terrific story.

I have a Master's degree in English Literature. I am also eight books into this series and have no intention of stopping. Do they make me cringe sometimes? Yes. Do I want to replace her editor, who apparently cannot pick up on repetition of words and phrases within the same paragraph? Absolutely. Do I occasionally skip forward through the sex scenes because I just cannot deal with the incredibly purple prose? Definitely.

All of that said, I am riveted by all of these attractive vampires and their problems. I've read similar series: Laurel K Hamilton and the Sookie Stackhouse novels, for example, but they always jump the shark (wereshark?) and lose me along the line. These books manage to keep all of the intrigue and sex appeal of the supernatural world without drifting into the ridiculous or the masturbatory. Neill has a real gift for coming up with plausible mysteries that are compelling without making you roll your eyes at them. Her bad guys are bad without being absurd and her good guys are good without being too perfect. It's clear that she goes into each book with a solid idea instead of just the desire for another paycheck.

Another thing she does well is actually produce likable characters instead of just deciding who the 'good guys' are and telling you to like them.

I love these stupid books.

Could not put this one down! As a whodunnit I was kept guessing longer than usual, and the "what/where/why" all came together nicely, with plenty of suspense, over the final few chapters. Neill's increasingly deft writing style & plot devices, plus her typically sympathetic handling of recurring characters, together made "Biting Bad" my favorite ibook n the series (so far).

As for narrator Sophie Eastlake, her frequent - and repeated - mispronunciations of certain words often made me wonder whether she or the line producer owned a dictionary between them! Happily, this seemed to be less of a problem in this volume, and I find her a competent narrator in all other respects. Here's hoping I'll find she's done her homework before recording in all her future titles.

BEST ONE YET

Chloe Neill takes us into some turbulent nights in Chicago. Rioters bombed the factory that makes "Blood for U". Then the Gray House has rioting. The "Clean Chicago" movement demands the death to all vampires. Merit trys her best to get to the bottom of all this commotion. Sophie Eastlake does an amazing job of story telli g. This story has some very emotional situations and a must hear. ⚘⚘⚘

Riots in the streets of Chicago.

Well I am getting used to Ms. Eastlake a little bit. Her male voices still sound a little dweebie! But, that being said, I still love the series a lot.

Getting used to.....

What a cliffhanger? I am very anxious to find what happen next for Merit and Ethan.

Did not see that one coming!

The stories are similar but the characters keep getting more and more defined. We keep learning new nuances that allow the story to be much bigger than it seems. Definitely recommend this title if you've read the others in this series.

Another Great Read in this Series
