Things in Chicago are not going well for Supernaturals. Humans are protesting against the vampires, going so far as to demonstrate outside of Cadogan House. Merit and the other inhabitants hope they will soon go away. But when Chicago's Mayor tells Merit and Ethan about a vamp attack at a rave that left three humans dead, he orders Ethan to get his vampires under control. Infiltrating a rave, Merit starts investigating immediately. She finds magic in the air and the vampire acting aggressively. As violence between the vampires breaks out, Merit must find out what is behind aggressive behavior before the Mayor throws Ethan in jail.
This is the fourth book in Cloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series and there is a lot going on. Along with Merit's usual snarky attitude, we have vampire politics, an underground drug ring, a mayor putting pressure on the vampires houses, and a visit from a member of the Greenwich Presidium, the ruling body of vampires. Merit spends much of the book tracking down clues as to who is behind the sudden change in the vampire's behavior. She recruits Jonah, an operative with the Red Guard and a member of Grey House, to help her out. He is an interesting character and I'm hoping to see more of him in the series.
The book moves along quickly with a good combination of mystery and romance, showing Merit and Ethan's on-again, off-again relationship. But there is a twist at the end where all momentum comes to a screeching halt. I don't want to give away spoilers, but I wasn't happy. I am hoping the author hasn't written herself into a corner with this twist in the series. Anyway, it was a 5 Star book until I got to the end. Not sure what to make of it.
