Book: Biting Cold by Chloe Neill

Genre: Young Adult, Paranormal
Source: Library
Short Synopsis: Merit must find a way to bring in her best friend Mallory a witch who has turned her magic black, and is intent on destroying the world as she tries a last attempt to make herself more sane, as her magic seems to be more out of control.
My Thoughts: Apparently everyone seemed to love this novel, but I found it to be a bit frustrating and couldn't stand some of the situations involved.
Turned into a vampire against her will, twenty-eight-year-old Merit found her way into the dark circle of Chicago’s vampire underground, where she learned there was more to supernaturals than met the eye—and more supernaturals than the public ever imagined.And not all the secrets she learned were for sharing—among humans or inhumans. Now Merit is on the hunt, charging across the stark American Midwest, tailing a rogue supernatural intent on stealing an ancient artifact that could unleash catastrophic evil on the world. But Merit is also the prey. An enemy of Chicagoland is hunting her, and he’ll stop at nothing to get the book for himself. No mercy allowed.

I fell in love with this series after reading the first one, Some Girls Bite, and loved reading about Ethan and Merit's unique relationship. I loved reading about the crazy vampire house rules and what vampires had to do to become accepted into a house.
Merit is a strong, independent vampire who knows what she wants, and gets things accomplished her own way. But things get a little crazy when Merit must bring in her own best friend, Mallory, as she tries to destroy the whole world in the process of trying to gain control over her magical powers.
Truth be told, I wasn't a major fan of this novel in this series. It seemed very dragged out, and mostly related on Mallory's issues.
I also wasn't much of a fan of how when Ethan finally came back, he was still linked to Mallory, and made that as an excuse not to be with Merit. Ethan, being the powerful vampire that he is, should have been able to control his/Mallory's connection, no matter what. Overall, I felt that this novel was sort of lacking, not that memorable, and a bit harder for me to complete, as it really didn't keep me all that interested. I still enjoy Neill's writing style, so hopefully her next installment will be a bit better than this one.
Would I recommend this book: Depends
Rating: I give this book a 2.5/5.
