Dark Debt Chicagoland Vampires Chloe Neill 9780451472328 Books

This book has everything missing in the previous one. First off, Ethan and Merit are back, and their relationship is evolving. In the last book they felt incidental, as if they were present only to move the story along and solve the mystery. Nothing really happened between them, nothing changed so they might as well not have been present. Next, it's hard to have a Chicagolands book without Chicago, the Ombuddies, Mallory and Catcher, the other Masters and Houses, and Joshua Merit. All those elements are richly present in this book and they add the balance of affection, conflict and connection that Ethan, Merit and all the other vampires so clearly need to survive. All in all, a great entry in the series.
One small con: Chloe Neill needs to watch her dialogue. Too many of the female characters are beginning to sound the same. It's especially noticeable in Merit and Margot's kitchen talk after Merit gets back from Navarre House. And if I never see another "I know, right?" it will be a very good thing. That line is given to far too many of the women. For Merit and Mallory to share expressions and sound a lot alike makes sense since they've been friends so long. For an older Frenchwoman like Margot to use it does not. The story is better when the characters are clearly individuals, so please be careful to keep their voices true and distinct, Ms. Neill.

Dark Debt Chicagoland Vampires Chloe Neill 9780451472328 Books Reviews

Every few books the direction of the series changes somewhat. For the most part doing this has kept the series fresh. In this one Ethan’s maker, Balthasar, whom Ethan thought died long ago; shows up amid a flurry of reporters for a reunion with his “child,” believing everything Ethan has should belong to Balthasar. And a serious problem within Navarre House comes to light which is only the tip of the iceberg of another huge problem.

But this one took me awhile to get into because while we’re faced with new threats, the overall tempo of the story felt a little slow for a good chunk of the book. I was glad I stuck with it, especially as more things were revealed. Keep some tissues handy; happy tears.

I like most of the characters a lot and boy, does Merit’s father surprise us at one point. The threats are interesting and ongoing, so we’ll see more about them in at least the next book. But I was really surprised at what appears to be some inconsistencies both with a timeline in one night as well as a vampire’s speed and strength.

On the whole, though, I enjoyed the story and am looking forward to the next release.
4.5 stars

Remember that cryptic note Ethan found at the end of Blood Games? It appears that his maker Balthazar is back from the dead to cause trouble in Chicagoland. And he wants to claim everything Ethan has for himself – even Merit.

As if her plate wasn’t full enough, Merit’s dad forces her and Ethan to attend a charity gala at the home of a high profile business associate. During the party Merit and Ethan foil an attempt to murder a crime lord and discover the assassins are Navarre vampires.

Dark Debt feels a lot like early books in the series. Balthazar is terrifying and manipulative and messes with Merit’s powers in a similar way to what Celina did. There’s also at least one other character acting behind the scenes much like Tate was, but with ties to The Circle, a shadowy international crime syndicate that looks to be the main villain for the rest of the series.

The original gang’s all here too, with the Ombuddies heading the attempted murder investigation and Catcher and Mallory providing magical back up for Merit. It’s nice to see Merit and Mal’s relationship getting back to normal after everything they’ve been through. I really enjoyed their girlfriend moments in this one. And I’m looking forward to the sorcerers possibly playing a bigger role in supernatural Chicago.

I’ve been Team Jonah for a long time, but he’s not very likable right now. I’m curious how (or if) he and Merit are going to resolve their differences. Morgan, on the other hand, has been a standoffish PIA for quite some time but manages to redeem himself somewhat. And we finally get an explanation for his bad behavior.

Though a lot of elements felt nostalgic, Merit’s also moving forward. She seems to be trying to figure out how to be a better partner to Ethan. And not just because of the prophecy or his continued threats to propose. She gets this crazy idea that I’m quite curious about. She also has an extreme makeover moment that stands out for a few different reasons. And she still gets plenty of opportunities to beat up the bad guys, which are always some of my favorite scenes.

Plotwise there were a couple of big reveals, one of which I had figured out and one I didn’t. But there are still some unanswered questions about who The Circle is and what they’re plotting. I wonder how long I’ll have to wait to find out if I guessed right.

There are only two more books planned in the series and Dark Debt does a good job setting up what I assume is that final story arc. But it also reminds me of why I loved this series from the beginning.
