Merit was English literature student, who dreamed of one day working as an academic surrounded by dusty scrolls and manuscripts. The Reviewįriday Night Bites is the second urban fantasy novel in Chloe Neill’s Chicagoland Vampires series, which follows the adventures of Merit, a newly-made vampire.

But someone doesn’t want people and vamps to play nicey-nice – someone with an ancient grudge. So now my “master” – centuries-old yet gorgeously well-preserved Ethan Sullivan – wants me to reconnect with my own upper-class family and act as liaison between humans and vampires… and to keep the more unsavoury aspects of our existence out of the media.

Most civilized vampires frown on this behaviour – but that doesn’t make good copy for a first-time reporter looking to impress his high-society family. Joe Public isn’t exactly thrilled to be living side by side with the undead, but at least they haven’t stormed the castle… yet.Īll that will change once they learn about Raves, mass feeding parties where vampires round up humans like cattle and drink themselves silly. Instead, ten months later, we’re enjoying a celebrity status reserved only for the Hollywood elite – fending off paparazzi, who are only slightly less dangerous than cross-and-stake-wielding slayers. Vampires in Chicago! You’d think headlines like that would have provoked the fine citizens of the Windy City to take up arms against us bloodsucking fiends.
