Why read it?

1 author picked Some Girls Bite (Chicagoland Vampires) as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I’m biased. Some Girls Bite takes place in Chicago, where I’m from, and where some of my own characters are from. It’s really cool to see how another author uses the city I grew up in and love. But aside from that nifty accolade, it’s a fun well-written story with mature themes. The main character, Merit, is no shrinking violet. She can kick ass and take names with the best of them, which is why I love her books. It would be amazing if our characters could meet mine someday. 

From J.D.'s list on The best vampire books for adults.
