Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires Series #1)

Absolutely LOVED this book!

This was one of those, just caught my eye, books you find. I picked it up just for fun and found myself unable to put it down. I love that this story is slightly different most of the other vampire stories out there. Merit is a strong and sassy (and reluctant to be a vampire) character who you can't help but love and root for. A great first for Chloe Neill! Can't wait to read the next in the series!!

Fun read with surprising characters

When I first saw this book, I was put off by cover. I know, don't judge a book by its cover. This book actually made me laugh, and the character development is excellent. The main character starts out slow and just your typical college girl, and we watch her transform throughout the book into a kick-butt heroine. She still keeps her bookish charm, which adds to her lovability. I thought this book was a great read, and the characters were vivid and interesting. Not the fluff I thought it would be. Read it and you'll love it! I purchased the sequel immediately after and was not disappointed. Can't wait till the third comes out! :)

I'm in love!!!

I have sumbled across gold. I am a big vamp critic and am not easily impressed given the surge im vampire pop culture but this series is phenomenal! You will love all the characters and Chloe Neil's vocabulary and research are stellar. A must read for all paranormal fans!

Very, very good!

Cat and Bones are still my favorite vamp couple, but Ethan and Merit are running a close second. Chloe Neill has written an "attention grabber, hard to put down and get any sleep for work the next day" book. Am looking forward to reading the rest of the series!!!!!

Where's the sample?

What kind of sample gives you just the table of contents? For $11.99, we should be able to read at least part of the first chapter in order to see the writing style/plot. Maybe I'll try Amazon - sometimes their samples are longer.

Good

I thought this book was good, not great, but it did grow on me by the end. The things that initially bothered me...

1.) While I appreciated Merit's reaction to being changed against her wishes, it took a little longer that it should have for her to come around, and her comments about it started to get a little annoyingly childish.
2.) Sometimes Neill goes a little too descriptive on clothes and 'boys', and while I appreciate a good looking man as much as the next gal... I don't need to constantly read paragraphs describing the same characters over and over.
3.) Also, I didn't feel like the plot was very strong. It seemed like there was a lot of filler, which would have been OK if it was filled with witty banter between Merit and/or Ethan/Mallory/Morgan/Catcher. But it wasn't.

But like I said, it grew on me. Merit's funny. Morgan is adorable. Ethan is complicated (and don't we girls just love a troubled, complicated man). I'll definitely be continuing with the series but hope Neill develops the characters a little more so they are less one-dimensional

Some Girls Bite grabs you from the start.

I have not read alot of the vampire books that are there but this one caught my eye partly because of the location. It was different and the characters are vampires with a twist, elegant and interesting. I am enjoying the sights and sounds of Chicago that the writer describes so clearly. A great read for older teens and grown ups, it grabs your attention and hangs on.

Excellent story!!

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well developed and the main character is likeable and someone a reader can connect with. Her attitude regarding her unwanted change to a vampire is believable and her dislike of her new master gives the story enough tension that you don't want to put it down. The author did a great job on her first novel. I can't wait for her next book!

Couldn't put it down!

This is a great story for adults and teens alike, it's geared toward a slightly older target audience, not a high school setting. Can't wait to see what happens next. I'm starting on the next book in the series tonight

Not what I expected

When I read the cover I thought this might be great. But the writing was too drawn out. It has a great story line but too much on description (I went to the door,I put the key in the lock, I turned the key, I opened the door, I walked in) get to the point!

A fun, funky read. I really enjoyed it.

You should really read this book it is sooo good!!! I LOVED it.

This book is really good, if you are thinking about getting it, stop thinking and get this book! It is really good. There are a lot of cuss words in this book so don't read this book if you are not comfortable with cuss words. Otherwise, READ THIS BOOK!!!!

Loved this Urban Fantasy!

My Review:

The more I listen to audiobooks, the more that I appreciate how they help ME to appreciate a book. I can sit down and read a book in about 4 hours, but listening to one takes about 3 times that amount of time. That added thought and reflection...and I am sure the INflection added to the characters by listening, all enhance my ability to enjoy these books so much.

Some Girls Bite definitely falls under the category of I really, really enjoyed this book! OMG, I love this story. I love the conflict between Ethan and Merit. I love how she stands up for herself even when it is completely rash and stupid to do so. The sexual tension that rolls off of Ethan...oh my! I love that, but in true UF form, I almost want that to stay as unrequited. I am torn because I think that he is too much for Merit....at least right now.

I love that her uncle is the Ombudsmen and the "in" that gives her in the city. I love Catcher and the mystery behind his magic and why exactly he was cast out. I love Morgan and really like how quickly he and Merit hit it off. I could be happy with them together. I love Jeff and how they all see him as some computer nerd, but the nymphs were all totally into him. I laugh at Mallory, but sometimes have issues with her. Something about her just doesn't sit right with me and that may be because she is with Catcher. I don't see that as a good relationship long-term. I'd rather see him interested in Merit. And Lindsey is simply a riot...LOVE her enthusiasm for everything. Luke is awesome (yes, I have a little bit of a soft side for the cowboy...and really hope that Lindsey eventually gives him a chance.)

I really just loved all these characters and the story. I thought that it was incredibly well-done. I have debated between an A- all the way up to an A+ on this story and cannot think of a single thing that would make this book better. I know that there is some serious upheaval coming in this series. WAY before I started reading it, I was hearing the rumblings. That makes me nervous, but I am ready to jump into the next book....now I just need it to ship faster because I am reading that one, rather than listening to it. We will see if I like the books as well when I am reading them rather than listening to them.

Really like

Very entertaining
