Merit is a grad student whose life as just changed drastically. While walking across campus, Merit's throat is ripped out by a rogue vampire. Fortunately, Master Vampire Ethan Sullivan is there to scare off her attacker and save her by turning her into a vampire. Now she is expected to pledge allegiance to Ethan and the vampires of Cadogan House, something she is hesitant to do since she didn't volunteer to become a vamp. Merit may hate Ethan for turning her without permission, but that doesn't stop her from lusting after him too. She also has to help him discover which vampire is attacking women on campus and leaving them for dead.
This is a wonderful beginning to a new series. The book takes place shortly after Vampires have come out to the public. Merit is a strong woman who has to learn a new way of life. The story is told in first-person, so the reader learns the new rules right along with her. I love Merit's snarky attitude, but it sometimes gets her in trouble.
Merit is lucky that she has friends to help her through this change in her life. Her roommate, Mallory, has an interest in the occult and gives Merit some tips. Mallory also discovers that she has some strong magic powers. Merit's grandfather is a cop who runs a special branch of the police force dealing with vampires, faeries, and other supernaturals. He employs a shape-shifter and a sorcerer who help Merit learn self-defense skills and keep her apprised of vampire politics. Ethan is still an enigma to me. He is a 400 year old vampire with some old world views. And, he is certainly attracted to Merit, even if he doesn't want to be. Overall, I loved the characters and the world building and can't wait to dive into the next one. My rating: 5 Stars.
