Review of "Hard Bitten" (#4 Chicagoland Vampires) by Chloe Neil

Hard Bitten  - Chloe Neill

Great, fast paced, glued to seat until finished read.  Fits series perfectly but not something to read standalone or out of order.

 

Most of the characters were somehow more subdued, less powerful.  Rather than resolving plots, romances and politics raised in previous books we get more of all plus new characters (well, to be fair, one new somewhat off stage character was literally a newborn).

 

At the risk of spoiler, a major character is lost. 

 

Looking forward to seeing what happens next.  Except, hopefully, not more love triangle/more-angles rearing up.  Those prevent my 5-starring this book.
