Biting Cold by Chloe NeillMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
There might be some spoilers here…I’ll try not to give too much away if I can!!
After missing Ethan Sullivan, Cadogan House”s master vampire in Drink Deep, I let out a happy sigh!!!!...when he was brought back from life…or ashes!!!! He’s back and he’s just as cool, calm and controlling. And still as gorgeous!!
Merit has come to terms with being a vampire and taking control of her new life. I liked seeing that.
She’s strong, loyal and not afraid to take risks…..she trusts herself!!!
Ethan & Merit go on a trip to look for Malefacium, the very dangerous book of dark evil magic that if in the wrong hands can cause an apocalypse of note!!!!
Vampires, trolls, shape shifters, gnomes, fairies, archangels, fallen angels!!! The urban fantasy world that the author created has shown an increase in the supernaturals living in our world.
There are so many supernaturals running around that at times I lose track of who was what!!
This was not a bad book but there were some things that irritated me to no end.
Ethan’s behavior towards Merit…yes, no….I want you…I don’t want you…it’s been like a seesaw ride most of the time. But now he takes it to another level that is just beyond believable!!!
One of the side-effects being brought back to life by Mallory, Merit’s friend, is that he has a connection to her….so when Mallory is angry or being snarky, Ethan feels it too….and when he grabs Merit and bruises her arm…what does he do???? Oh no my darling….I feel a lot for you….but we can’t continue our relationship because I may hurt you without meaning too!!!!! Listen up Ethan….
What…does he think Merit can take care of herself??? Like she’s this little girl who needs protection!!!
Open your eyes, Ethan….Merit is not taking any more emotional crap from you!!! That’s right!!!
It’s becoming a bit of a drag their up and down love story!!!!! Make up your minds guys!!!!
Another peeve…..one thing happens and ends and then another comes up!!!! All the build-up to something and then it’s resolved immediately. The evil book is found and lost very quickly. A dark fallen angel appears and pretty soon is (view spoiler).
I had this idea that the whole GP drama would lead to something more sinister or underhand!!!! (view spoiler)
I do enjoy the other side of vampire life that the author has written….it’s not just drinking blood but they really love food….and drinks!!!! Makes them a bit more human in some way.
There are some really interesting characters but I don’t find myself engaging with them totally. The character development doesn’t seem to happen for me.
I am still sitting on the fence about this series. It’s not one of my favorite paranormal series at this moment and I keep telling myself that I am not going to read another book…but in some way I can’t stop myself …..I kind of want to know what happens next in Merit’s world.!
So I guess I’m onto book #7 next!!!!
