"A strong-minded, sharp-witted heroine who will appeal to fans of Charlaine Harris' Sookie Stackhouse series and Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake." (Library Journal) Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and Merit the vampire can't tell if this is the darkness before the dawn, or the calm before the storm. With the city itself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times have never been more precarious for the vampires. If only they could lay low for a bit...Then magic rears its ugly head when Lake Michigan turns black. The mayor insists it's nothing to worry about, but Merit knows a panic is coming. She'll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who's behind this, and stop them before it's too late for both the vampires and humans.

"This was a hard book to rate. So much has happened in the last part of the previous book so I dug into this one with reservation. I knew something was up, along with everyone else, I just wasn't sure how everything would be dealt with. And that is what made it hard to rate.<br/><br/>There is a lot that happens in this book. I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with the new storyline, but I will have to see here it goes in the next book. *Major Cliffhanger Alert!!* I wasn't sold on either ending (you'll understand when you read both parts). One felt too easy, the other left me wanting to hit my head upside a brick wall.<br/><br/>The story itself, was interesting. I'm not going to lie, I love Merit. I love this character and as much as I hate the cliffhanger to this one and the last book, I will probably keep reading and keep hoping the best for Merit. While the endings left me a little unsatisfied, I enjoyed the mystery (maybe not so much the outcome) of the book."
"I have to provide thanks to my best friend who hoisted this series upon me knowing fully well that I had other items on my to read agenda! LK I love you for that as I am grossly enamored with Chicagoland Vampires! While this book was an emotional roller coaster for me, I cannot wait for the next book to be released. I was distraught at the thought that Ethan, my dream vampire, was gone for good and I believe I grieved as much as Merit did. I reeled at the thought that I would never be able to picture him in my mind as I read about him when the last book ended. Chloe Neill made it up to me and returned my knight to heal my heart! Merit is loyalty personified and it makes me proud of the vampire she's become. She is continually willing to write her own rules when it comes to the safety of Cadogan House or its vampires. And while her heart was shattering over the death of Ethan she marched on. Even while she was betrayed by her best friend she marches on. She showed that even without Ethan by her side she could stand up to the bigotry and do the right thing. Her courage, her strength, her loyalty, her unparalleled goodness is a prime example of why she is titled, Sentinel of Cadogan House."
