Book Review: "Devouring Darkness" by Chloe Neill


 In the newest installment of the USA Today bestselling Heirs of Chicagoland series, vampire Elisa Sullivan unearths an ancient grudge, with potentially devastating consequences.


As the only vampire ever born, and the daughter of two very powerful Chicago vampires, Elisa Sullivan knew her life was going to be…unusual. But she wanted to make her own way in the world, preferably away from her famous family. Then supernatural politics—and perhaps a bit of destiny—intervened, and Elisa had to steady her nerves and sharpen her steel to fight for the city of Chicago. Luckily, Connor Keene, son of the North American Central Pack’s Apex wolf, is right by her side.
 
When Elisa and her Ombudsman colleagues agree to escort a vulnerable supernatural to Chicago, they inadvertently set in motion a scheme of long-awaited magical vengeance. The city may pay an arcane price it can’t afford unless Elisa and her allies rise to the challenge. - from NetGalley.com

I received this ARC at no cost from NetGalley.com and am providing an unbiased review.

This is the fourth book in this spin-off sereis of Heirs to Chicagoland, and takes off pretty much from where the last book ended. I have enjoyed Chloe Neill's writing style and story-telling ability from the start with the 'Chicagoland Vampires' series, and she is able to keep a story going through the children of the main characters from that series is nice. It will be nice to see possible future installments as some issues still have not been resolved (I won't spoil by listing).

Overall was a pretty fast read for me, and kept my attention. There is some love interests, mild flirtation, and some action scenes that were written well. I would defintely recommend this series to anyone that is interested in Urban Fantasy.
