Synopsis
They killed me. They healed me. They changed me.
Sure, the life of a graduate student wasn’t exactly glamorous, but it was Merits. She was doing fine until a rogue vampire attacked her. But he only got a sip before he was scared away by another bloodsucker–and this one decided the best way to save her life was to make her the walking undead.
Turns out her saviour was the master vampire of Cadogan House. Now she’s traded sweating over her thesis for learning to fit in at a Hyde Park mansion full of vamps loyal to Ethan Sullivan. Of course, as a tall, green-eyed, four-hundred-year-old vampire, he has centuries’ worth of charm, but unfortunately, he expects her gratitude–and servitude.
But an inconvenient sunlight allergy and Ethan’s attitude are the least of her concerns. Someone’s still out to get her. Her initiation into Chicago’s nightlife may be the first skirmish in a war–and there will be blood.
Review
I'm a little bit gobsmacked at how much I loved this book. I listened to the audio, and that tends to downrate a book for me, for some reason. Aside from a few narrators, I tend to want different inflection than what I get. This narrator was perfect for the part. I ended up trying to find things to clean just so I could keep listening. Love when that happens!! I love a slow-burning romance, and that is what is happening between Ethan and Merit. Rrrrreallllllly slows, from what I hear, but sometimes that's my favourite. I get so invested in the characters. Since the story is set in modern times, and within weeks of the "coming out" of vampires, there is little to no world-building. Just the intro into the ins and outs of this universe's vampire idiosyncrasies. It's not horribly angsty. It has an intricate possible series plot as well as the individual one. If nothing else, it will be just kick ass to ride along and see what the series has in store for Merit.
