This book reminded me why I love this series so damn much :D

While Ethan and Merit are indeed front and center, there is so much story woven in the tapestry that surrounds them. By now we have gotten to know pretty much all major players, but it's fun learning more about them every installment.

Pacing and flow were great. There is a lot of action, but somehow it doesn't feel that way. You just roll with it, we're used to Merit always being in the thick of it, so yeah :)

The book itself is well written with no (noticeable) errors and yes, there is sex described.

All in all, I feel that writing a longer review is pretty much impossible... it's just such a solid series and everything has already been said before :D
One thing though... really looking forward to his marriage proposal when that time comes.

Not sure if I read this one

twas good! more hot shifters, please. maybe start a spinoff shifter series. ( )

Ah, the gang is back in form!

The last book was full of angsty emotions and Relationship Issues, neither of which I find very entertaining. I started reading Dark Debt and it didn't take many pages before thinking I was in for more of the same; after about a third of the way in, I was starting to feel resigned... and then the story went in a different direction and got really interesting, and I was hooked. Merit and Mallory are back working together and the fast-paced, hilarious-at-times dialogue between the main characters was back: I was laughing out loud in at least two different places. Dark Debt became a perfect example of why I love this series.

The Chicagoland Vampire series is Urban Fantasy, but it falls somewhere to the left of grittier series like Mercy Thompson and Kate Daniels and much farther to the right of series' that have a more chick-lit vibe to them. These vampires are tamed (relatively) and extremely political. Mostly, the series is a fantastically fun, and often times funny, way of looking at greater issues of equality, inclusion, fear-mongering and their ilk without actually confronting the reader with them by name.

Just a thoroughly entertaining read. ( )

I like this series but I do not love it. I have given it 4 stars but its really more of a 3.5 in my opinion. I have continued to read this story because I am just enough interested with the story to want ot know how it ends. Basically everything about this is just alright for me the characters are good not great, the story is fairly interesting and the writing is decent. It is in no way bad but it is not one of my favorites either. ( )
