Merit was a grad student when she was attacked by a vampire. She was turned into one by Ethan to save her life. Ethan also happens to be the Master of the Cadogan House, one of 3 vampire Houses in Chicago. Vampires are recently "out" to the general public and with 1 (soon to be 2) murders, the general public is worried.
I wish more attention had been paid to the murders (and solving them). The villain at the end I felt was anti-climatic. It was open ended- some vamps were okay with revealing themselves and others not. The other supernaturals are not out in public. There look to be future power plays to see who can gather the most power (and "rule").
I did like Merit, I liked her narrative voice. I liked her BFF Mallory and her Grandpa (who is the Ombud for the supernatural community). Merit's parents suck. Also Merit is her last name and she goes by this. I have no idea what the first name was- it was something she didn't like. Merit it is.
The vampire hierarchy is outdated ("My Liege"). I didn't like that the primary love interest Ethan was already attached to someone else. His relationship with Amber is on the page and Merit walked in on them. Yeah, I didn't like that. He offers to make her his Consort, Merit, thankfully declines. Even though Amber was a bitch (because of course she was), I felt some sympathy for her. She could have lost her position all because of Ethan decided he was tired of her. Grated, in the end it didn't matter because of something Amber did.
I did like this, but it didn't stand out to me. I'm not invested in learning more and think this will be it for this series.
