Why did it take me so long to start this series?? I honestly have no idea. I get so caught up in reading new release books, that sometimes I forget about the older gems that I have sitting on my bookshelf unread. I am going to make an effort this year, to shop my bookshelf more and not just my review shelf.

Some Girls Bite is a really great read, and the way it describes all the characters and sets up the groundwork for an intense storyline, I just know that this series is going to be one of my favorites. I participated in a read-a-long for this book, and I LOVED it. (please do another one soon!) So I read the book in 4 sections over the course of the month. This is much longer than I normally take, but it was nice to drag a book out. I got to savor it more, there were like built in cliff-hangers.

Merit is kick butt and awesome! And maybe a little stubborn and whiny at the beginning. But she went through so much, so I think we should cut her a little slack on the whining. She seemed to grow out of it about halfway through the book anyways.

The guy situation in this book is more complicated. There are a few guys- Jeff, Ethan, Morgan and Catcher. Ethan is hard to figure out. There is just something about him that I am still not sure about. I can't wait to see where it goes in the next book, especially now that Morgan is in the picture too. I look forward to many moments of jealously all around! Morgan is nice too and I so want to believe that he is genuine in liking Merit, but I just don't know about him either! I don't like not knowing! Truth be told, I like Catcher most of all! It's a shame that Mallory gets him all for herself.

Overall, The Chicagoland Vampires looks like it is going to be an amazing series, and I love that there are already lots of books out for me to read. I just need to go out and buy them, and get reading! I need to know what happens next!
