She was doing fine until a rogue vampire attacked her. But he only got a sip before he was scared away by another bloodsuckerand this one decided the best way to save her life was to make her the walking undead.Turns out her savior was the master vampire of Cadogan House. Now shes traded sweating over her thesis for learning to fit in at a Hyde Park mansion full of vamps loyal to Ethan Lord o the Manor Sullivan. Of course, as a tall, green-eyed, four-hundred- year-old vampire, he has centuries worth of charm, but unfortunately he expects her gratitude and servitude. But an inconvenient sunlight allergy and Ethans attitude are the least of her concerns. Someones still out to get her. Her initiation into Chicagos nightlife may be the first skirmish in a warand there will be blood.

Your standard run of the mill vampire PNR. Better then many, but nothing interesting. Its reads like a fanfic the author made for her and her best friend.
Meredit becomes a vampire, and takes her best friend everywhere she goes, even into secret members only vampire meetings. But then her friend finds out she has magical powers. And then Meredit finds out her grandfather is the human encharged to investigate supernatural beings in the city, and he employees a sorcerer and a shifter to help him out.
Meredit needs to comply to the rules of vampire society, and answer to the master vampire for her actions. But as she is a independent and strong woman, he decides to defy him on every opportunity.
Being vampire is nothing but a genetic change that makes you vulnerable to daylight, hungry for blood, stronger, faster and immortal. You get more muscles and still crave and can eat all you want.
Oh, and by the way, everyone is sexy and wants to have sex with each other. And they love to go out clubbing and drinking.

I would call this decent? I liked some of the characters but it all just felt very...tropey. It feels like standard urban fantasy ( with a romance twist) of a certain era. Nothing grabbed me and made me obsessed with the world. I'm more likely to tell someone to read the first few Hollows books. That being said if you enjoy female narrators and insta-lust, the writing isn't half bad.
Merit was turned into a vampire against her will now she has to decide if she will stay in the Cadogen House or go rogue or into another house if they would have her. There is a sexy leader of the clan she is born into and she is damned if she will follow his rules when she never asked to be a vampire. The pacing is good and the world building is fleshed out pretty well for me to just jump into the story. Ethan is a bit overbearing but I assume that's because he's 400 years old.
I am not normally into Vampire fiction, but the idea of the series intrigued me so I gave it a shot. I was not disappointed.
This novel had a good balance of paranormal mystery, vampire politics, interesting characters, and touched very lightly into paranormal romance - just enough to keep the vampire seduction vibe in view, but not too much to place it into erotica.
I enjoy the character, particularly because she is a strong character who doesn't actually want to be a vampire, which makes the dive into the secret world of Chicago Vampire House Politics all the more interesting.
I will be giving the other books in the series a try.
