Hard Bitten

Merit's world is crumbling from the outside in—angry humans are literally camping on Cadogan House's doorstep, and things with her dangerously attractive Master, Ethan, have turned decidedly frosty. When the mayor drops a bombshell about missing women and violent vampire attacks, Merit realizes she's got to navigate Chicago's shadowy supernatural underworld to save her House from destruction. She'll have to make some morally gray choices and call in favors from the kind of dangerously charming vampires who remind you exactly why humans fear the dark, all while discovering that defending your people sometimes means getting your hands a little dirty. It's a thrilling plunge into the gritty heart of supernatural politics where Merit learns that being a vampire means way more than just fangs and immortality.
