Friday Night Bites (Chicagoland Vampires, Book 2) Overviews
The story of a young heiress's initiation into the dark society of the Chicagoland Vampires continues...
Ten months after vampires revealed their existence to the mortals of Chicago, they're enjoying a celebrity status usually reserved for the Hollywood elite. But should people learn about the Raves-mass feeding parties where vampires round up humans like cattle-the citizens will start sharpening their stakes.
So now it's up to the new vampire Merit to reconnect with her upper class family and act as liaison between humans and bloodsuckers, and keep the more unsavory aspects of the vampire lifestyle out of the media. But someone doesn't want peace between them-someone with an ancient grudge...

The Plot:
The second Chicagoland Vampires book brings the awkward relationship between Merit and Ethan to a head. Now that the evil leader of Navarre House, Celina Desaulniers, has been dethroned and replaced by Merit's on-again-off-again beau, Morgan, political unrest begins to spread from the vampires to the rest of the supernatural world and beyond.
When the paparazzi set up shop outside Cadogan House to try to get the scoop on anything and everything supe, Merit is forced to rekindle old relationships from her human past. And Ethan is more than happy to use Merit's social clout to their political advantage, even if it means that they are forced to spend some Friday nights together.
Zelda's Take:
Book 2 and I am still loving this series -- so much that I am becoming distressed at the fact that there are only three books in it so far and I'm almost finished with them! There's just something about the series that gets me all excited and dreamy.
It could possibly be the tension between Merit and Ethan, which I adore. I love how Ethan seems so calculating and tries to use his authority over Merit to force her to spend more time with him under the guise of it being "required work" -- yet he still rebukes her in his internal struggle with his own feelings. I love how Merit seems to know exactly what Ethan is up to and hates it, yet she still can't resist him. She remains loyal to her oath above all else, despite the fact that she is subconsiously sabotaging her relationship with Morgan. This, and the heat between the two of them is palpable. When Ethan's eyes silver over and he starts to open up to Merit... I just can't help but get all giggly
This is a book full of build-ups and breakdowns. From the build-up of the relationship between Merit and Ethan, to the build-up of the discord between Merit and Mallory and the eventual breakdown of their friendship, to the build-up and breakdown of Merit's broken vampire problem... although I was glad to finally see resolution between Merit and her vampire. It was painful to see her struggle to keep control over both of her sides, and to keep it hidden from the world. And, that the resolution was brought about by her kicking Ethan's ass and then concluded with the most intimate interaction between Ethan and Merit yet... just left me begging for more.
I must say, though, that I can't handle too much more tension, sexual or otherwise, here, so I am hopeful to see more resolution, particularly in the form of one Master vampire and his Sentinel getting it on, in Book 3 of the series...
