Some Girls Bite Review

Some Girls Bite By Chloe Neill
(Book 1 in Chicagoland Vamps Series)

Merit is 27 years old and is soon becoming an official teacher. But all of that changes when she at night is at campus, is attacked by a vampire and almost dies, if it hadn´t been for the master vampire Ethan of Cadogan House, who changes her to a vampire in order to save her life. So 3 days after the change Merit wakes up in a limo on her way home to her and her best friend Mallory´s house, and she is now vamp. She has a hard time adjusting to the vampire life, and in 7 days she has to become an official member of the Cadogan House and make an oath, or else she will become a rogue. Her family is now even more dismissive toward her ( not that it could get any worse, that it already is). They finds out that Mallory is a powerfull sorcere, and that Merit´s granpa isn´t retired as he says he is: Turns out he is working as a messenger between the humans and supernaturals. Merit meets her granpa´s new colleages, Catcher a sorcere, who begins a relationship with Mallory, Jeff a 21 years old shapeshifter and two other people. She also finds out that Ethan and Catcher are kind of friends, and that Ethan has asked Catcher to be Merit´s coach in fighting. So Merit begins fighting lesson, but she but heads with Ethan all the time. So how can she take the oath to protect him, when she hates him, but at the same time is attractive to him and him to her, eventhough he hates her too.
But when the time comes Merit chooses to be a part of them house, but not without some trouble. But she is lucky because Ethan gives her the position as a Sentinel: A person who first priority is to protect the house and not him. But things is not good because attacks keeps happening, and they find out that the attacks is not from the rogues, but from one of the houses

I like the book and is loking forward to the next one, but i found it a little boring at the same time, but that is how i usually feel about first books, especially in a series where the first book is to settle thigs up, and that can be boring. This book was confusing at the beginning, because you didn´t really get what was going on, Yah she was a vampire now, but then there was all the other things.
As for the characters, i really don´t like Merit. She really needs to get a "spine", an opinion and so many other things. And i can´t understand why she seem so okay with beign a vamp? She seems okay but we really don´t get to know. And how can she let them play with her life like that? They have no right to decide for her. She really is stupid, that she would stand on the sideline.
I like Mallory Carmichael and Catcher Bell, they bring good humor to the book before and after they get together. Jeff is a funny and sweet character.
But her family, what and ass family they are, they shouldn´t even be called family. This series definently has the potentiel to be good, if it just gets a little more exiting and dramafull.

Grade: 4
