Review: Dark Debt (Chicagoland Vampires #11) by Chloe Neill



Blurb from Goodreads:
A vampire never gets old. But neither do his enemies. When a figure from Ethan's dark past makes a splashy debut in Chicago, Merit and her Master don't know whether he's friend or foe. But they'll have to figure out soon, because trouble is brewing in the Windy City.

At an exclusive society soiree attended by the upper echelons of the human and supernatural worlds, Merit and Ethan barely stop the assassination of a guest. When the target turns out to be a shady businessman with a criminal edge, Merit suspects a human vendetta. But the assassins have fangs....

The connections to Chicago's Houses go deeper than Merit knows, and even one wrong move could be her last....
My Review:
 
The Chicagoland Vampire series is one of my all time favorite series.  I love love love Ethan, Merit and Methan.  And I have to say, there is a lot of good Methan time in Dark Debt!!  This is the first book after the disbandment of the GP and the birth of the AAM.  It's a new world for all the houses and in the midst of trying to make something new for all vampires without the patriarchal, overreaching GP, Cadogan House has to go above and beyond to save Navarre House.  This book just emphasized how much I dislike Celina!  The depths of Celina's betrayal to her own house is revealed in Dark Debt and it is not good.  Even though it seems like this series is one fight/controversy/outrage after another, I enjoyed this book and I think the story-line is still progressing, which is no easy feat.  It is insane to think that this entire series is truly only a little more than a year since the first book because so much has happened.  Dark Debt has the usual fight scenes, chases, snark, snack food bingeing and super steamy Methan scenes -- all the things I love about this series.  

Also, I LOVED the ending.  I can't tell you what happened because that would spoil it but for those of us who have read this series from the beginning, you will be very, VERY pleased!  I'm already counting down until the next book in the series.  

Dark Debt comes out tomorrow, March 3, 2015, and you can purchase HERE!
Love wasn't perfection.  It wasn't always roses and candy.  Hell, it wasn't even mostly roses and candy.  Sometimes it was battling back fear that loomed like a leviathan, trying to find a way through misery, being grateful to have a companion who knew your strengths and weaknesses, and loved you not just in spite of them, but because of them.  Love was acceptance.  Love was bravery.  Love was sticking it out.

I love this trope, sub-genre, setting: My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend

I Love This Trope, Sub-Genre, Setting is a new feature on my blog in which I discuss a trope, sub-genre or setting that I love and tell you about books that are shining examples of said trope, sub-genre or setting.  Feel free to play along and please let me know about your favorite books in this realm and whether you like this trope, sub-genre and/or setting as much as I do! Today I am spotlighting the trope of:  My Best Friend's Brother/My Brother's Best Friend , which I would define as any book where the heroine either has a crush on or falls for her brother's best friend or her best friend's brother. I have to confess that I love this trope in nearly all of its iterations!  I have a younger brother so I never got to crush on any of his friends but it's fun reading about that and it's equally as fun as reading about falling for your best friend's brother -- instant sisters!  I know there are a ton

Conversations With Myself (& Hopefully You): ARC Greed

This discussion is inspired by my feelings lately when reading and reviewing ARCs versus the feelings I had when I requested those same ARCs: ARC GREED ARC greed -- have we all experienced this?  What I even mean by this term is that I sometimes feel overwhelmed when looking at Netgalley and Edelweiss and  I sometimes over-request, if only because I can!  I get greedy when I see all the new and shiny ARCs available and I will sometimes request things that have even a hint of interest for me, not necessarily focusing only on those books that I really, really want.  The problem with this over-requesting and with getting greedy with requesting (and receiving) ARCs is when it comes time to read and review these ARCs.  Last month and this month, I have looked at my ARCs with a release date in each respective month and I just haven't wanted to read any of them.  I need to start asking myself -- If I was immediately approved for this ARC, would I read it right thi
