I should have posted it a week ago, but I had exams.
I was a grad student
until Chicago vampires announced their existence to the world, and a
rogue vampire attacked me, scared by the master of Cadogan House. To
save me, Ethan Sullivan converted me. The Lord of the Hyde Park manor is
tall, green-eyed, full of four centuries worth of charm. Suddenly I am
handy with serious weaponry, and pursued by an unknown enemy.
I'll only post the first summary, since I try to avoid spoilers.
I remember when I picked up this series for the first time. I had seen it in my local bookstore a few times, and I though "oh no, another vampire series". *Insert facepalm here* But stupidity had an end : I went to a cruise to Greece with my parents and I bought the first two to have something to read.
I didn't regret it. Well, I did, in fact regret having read the first two in less than a day. I was soooo bored for the rest of the cruise, I re-read them quite a number of times and found things I missed at the other reads.
My first experience with Merit and her crew was memorable and awesome.
So, characters.
Merit is... The Jennifer Lawrence of vampires. You want to hug her and tell her "Be my best friend forever !"
She's smart, she's kind, she's witty and Sarcasm could be her second name.
Ethan is yummy. He can be an assh*le, but he's yummy. And the more you go in the book, the cuter he gets.
Joshua Merit (Merit's father, noobs.). Well, I'll let Olaf say it for me. (And I don't like him.)
So, to the acceptance part. Ethan saves Merit's life, but becoming a vamp was very, very far from what she would have wanted to be.
She resents him for a while, but accepts her old life is over. She discovers that she can be something else and she rocks.
Some quotes :
-“You have to call Darth Sullivan your 'Liege'?"
I grinned. "Only if I expect him to answer.”
-“Anyone wanna dance?"
"I could dance I need to change, but I can dance."
"Nice
going, Gandalf. You'll rile her up, and I'll never get her tucked in.
You wanna give her candy and caffeine while you're at it?”
-“Give me a break, I'm trying to Gratefully Condescend.”
I don't know what I can say to add to that... I know I am in no way praising the series like it should be, but I don't want to spoil anyone, so the best vould be to try the series. The first book just came out in paperback, if anyone wants to give it a shot.
Just know that the ChiVamps series is my #2, of all the books and series that I read. (If that tells you something)
