This book was such an emotional rollercoaster to read for me. I love the world Chloe Neill has created and the fact I don't have to wait to read the next book as they were published awhile ago. The fact that I can roll into the next book is such a relief for me ' I can't even tell you. I H A T E waiting. Hate it.

The shifters have arrived into Chicago, now the vamps are out and a war is brewing (because of Celina, the former master of the Narvarre House) the shifters are going to discuss the wisdom of tucking their tail between their leg ' eerh, I mean returning home to Aurora, and to stay and fight ' perhaps even build a friendship of sorts with the vampires. But it's not going to be easy. There are problems on both sides. Vampires are immortal and they don't forget slights done to them, or their families. The shifters really don't care about the politics (which is right up at vamps alley), but they care much about their family, about pack.

In the last book things ended badly between Merit and Morgan. They're still not good friends, probably never will be, but maybe some kind of mutual respect can be build with time.

Mallory and Merit also came to odds with each other in Friday Night Bites, which isn't easy to resolve. When best friends get mad at each other ' and I do mean REALLY mad, things come up that should've been left alone. The best and worst part of having a best friend is that you tell her EVERYTHING. It also means that when she's pissed at you, she will sometimes hurl it right back at you, and she will always tell you the truth. Even if you don't want to know it.

You can see where I'm going with the rollercoaster, right? Well, this isn't the only thing. The relationship between Ethan and Merit is' well it's difficult, straining on both of them and utterly impossible to ignore. They both want each other, and it pisses them both off insanely. Well, ladies and gentlemen.. It happens in this book! They are FINALLY having sex!! YAY! Everything is bliss' for 24 hours. Then Ethan changes his mind and they're back to square one. Again. (Can I just say I think he's a chickenshit?!) Only this time there are other complications Merit needs to take into considerations. The invitation to the Red Guard (a secret guard that spy on the masters and take action if necessary), her possible make-up with Mallory, protecting Gabriel (the Alpha of the North American Central Pack) who's got a price on his head, the returning of one of Ethans old ex-girlfriend' Yep, Merit is a busy girl.

I love this series, the characters in it, their development, everything that keeps getting thrown at Merit and how she handles it. I'm already reading the next book in the series; Hard Bitten, and I CAN NOT wait to see where Chloe Neill takes me next!
