There are no words. This was a story of Merit's wanting to please too many people, but not knowing what to do for herself. Trying to repress herself and keep her humanity... Not knowing that while being a vampire she can be humane. She's confused, lost, pushing people away. While trying to fix th...
Wow! I mean that to the fullest extent of its definition. I really liked this series from book 1, but this one (book 4) takes it to a new level. What Neill does at the end of this book is draw dropping (well, at least my jaw dropped--and I can recall the last book that made that happen: Silenc...
Lmao it's the American Revolution, vampire style. I wonder if they're going to write up a Declaration of Independence and everything. I'm liking the historical parallels. That way I can say, "Look mom, I'm learning!"As much as I like Merit, I'm also a little irritated by her. Although she's selfl...
At least I made it through this Chloe Neill book. I gave up halfway through the first book, Some Girls Bite, her more famous series, Chicagoland Vampires. This book is definitely for a younger audience, and compared to many books out there that are meant for teenagers, this one actually has the ...
Hexbound Book EvaluationDanielle Sonobe What do magic, werewolves, vampires, and boarding school all have in common? Lily Parker. In the book Hexbound, by Chloe Neil, Lily Parker gets used to life in a new school, a strange best friend Scout, and bratty high school girls. Oh yeah, and her sec...
This is one of the best vampire books I have read in a long time. Neill relies on classic vampire mythology, updating it only slightly, but sticking true to the fundamentals of vampire lore (primarily as vampires being creatures of the night and being fatally allergic to sunlight). Her attentio...
i'm going to be generous here it was probably only deserved two stars and if it werent for the fantastic plot it would've only been one star. Quite disappointed in the follow up to such a great first book. Most of the characters were static and those that changed did so for the worse. Merit got o...
After the last book I had trouble getting this series out of my head. Needed to review some books I’d requested for review so I had to push this one back a couple of book before I could start it. Now that I’ve finished it I’m not sure what to think. If I didn’t have the next two books lined up...
I so wanted to like this series, and I did, but I like my HEA endings too much to keep reading and hoping for the lead characters to get over themselves. It was just getting too tedious with the unrealistic excuses and virginal reticence. Although not as well written, I was hoping for more of a M...
This review contains spoilers and is meant to be read after reading the book.Killing a major character in the previous book is a bold move. I remember reading GRRM’s Game of Thrones and watching events maneuver Ned into an inescapable position that the writer had to follow through or else risk l...
I liked 'The Dark Elite', I really did. The writing was good, light, I didn't have to force myself to keep reading because the story was interesting enough. But I'm surprised with the way the story ends, because: what about Lily's parents? And what was that research about? And Jason? I mean, he's...
I really enjoyed this book. I thought that the storyline was original and the characters were cool. The ideas and paranormal voodoo in this book is very different to a lot of it's genre.My absolute favourite part was the narrator, Lily Parker. She was so clever and on the ball. Usually authors dr...
Inhaltsangabe (Quelle Egmont Lyx):Überall in Chicago kommt es zu Protesten gegen die Vampire. Eine mit Molotow-Cocktails bewaffnete Splittergruppe richtet große Verwüstungen an. Die Vampirin Merit und ihre Verbündeten müssen herausfinden, wer hinter den Angriffen steht, um die endgültige Zerstöru...
Oh. My. Gosh. I love this series! Many reviewers are complaining about the lack of a complete conclusion. The following is mostly speculation and stuff my mom told me so I'm not sure but... It was probably because it was supposed to be a trilogy (and this is probably what she told the publishers...
So yh, i couldn't finish this drivel. It was so boring. I'm not a fan of the main couple so it makes it difficult to really get into the book.I'm loving jonah and think she should suck it to ethan. The timeline again in pure shit. I will not be reading anymore because it's the same crap. Humans a...
*Do not read if you haven't read the previous books*3.5 starsSo Malory has gone bonkers or rather evil magic has taken a hold on her. Since her first attempt failed, she's going after the Maleficius again and Merit takes it upon her to stop her friend. Malory isn't the only one interested in the ...
Good super short story about Fallon and Jeff and how she can't have him because she is next in line and there is some tradition that says she HAS to mate a wolf....I expected a bit better. Gabe came off more like a father talking to an errant daughter than a big brother. I get he's the Apex but t...
Very nice series. It took me a couple of days to read all the ten books released so far. It has been a wonderful experience for me. Merit is simply awesome -- she is funny, clever, strong, and loyal to her friends. And she has some silly quirks and food habits. Her growth through out the series i...
Merit is a grad student whose life as just changed drastically. While walking across campus, Merit's throat is ripped out by a rogue vampire. Fortunately, Master Vampire Ethan Sullivan is there to scare off her attacker and save her by turning her into a vampire. Now she is expected to pledge ...
An explosive beginning to what looks to be an incredible series! The writing is easy to read, the dialogue witty and appropriate, the world building incredible, and the character development is flawless. Set just after vampires have announced their existence to the world, we meet Merit, a grad ...
A good book. DAMN! Now THAT is a plot twist. Well done! I'm looking forward to the next one!
Amazing ending! Probably my favourite book so far. Great ending - great book. I love this series!!
I feel like the series is coming to an end. Is it?Well at least I hope they put an end to McKetrick already. Time for them to find a new foe because he's getting old. In all fairness to McKetrick he is a very effective bad guy because I find my self hating his guts. Like before, it appears that M...
