My Review:In the first thrilling installment of Chloe Neill's spinoff to the New York Times bestselling Chicagoland Vampires series, a new vampire will find out just how deep blood ties run.
As the only vampire child ever born, some believed Elisa Sullivan had all the luck. But the magic that helped bring her into the world left her with a dark secret. Shifter Connor Keene, the only son of North American Central Pack Apex Gabriel Keene, is the only one she trusts with it. But she's a vampire and the daughter of a Master and a Sentinel, and he's prince of the Pack and its future king.
When the assassination of a diplomat brings old feuds to the fore again, Elisa and Connor must choose between love and family, between honor and obligation, before Chicago disappears forever.
I [mostly] loved the Chicagoland Vampires series so I was pretty intrigued and excited for this spin-off featuring the "heirs" of all of our favorite characters from that series. That being said, maybe it's too soon? I don't know but this book had all the things I didn't love about the series - a bit cheesy, over the top and hard to follow the minutiae. I will keep reading to see if it improves because I know the capability of this author and these subjects and there was enough of a spark of an idea that could work. But his first book wasn't quite the bang I was hoping for . . .
Wild Hunger came out yesterday on August 14, 2018, and you can purchase HERE. Let's hope this series improves as it continues!
"It's not a risk-free idea," she admitted. "But what's the other option? We sit around while Riley's in lockup?"
"We could end up dead."
"That's true for you every time the sun rises. The only thing that matters is what you do in the dark."
Do you think this will work for me if I haven't read the original series, Eva? I've liked that other series from hers. I'm sorry it didn't deliver though for you. :(
ReplyDeleteI have heard this author is fantastic, so I am always intrigued. But I am never sure if her books would be my cup of tea
