Chloe Neill returns with another book in the Chicagoland Vampire series. With twelve books in the series, Neill reflects on Merit being a vampire for a year now. Merit's life has changed immensely since the start of the series, and readers have gotten a front-row seat to these new changes in her life. Not only have the friends around her started to settle down, but Merit is doing some of her own settling as well. She and Ethan seem to have reached a point in their relationship where they are steady. They've become comfortable with each other, but I am wondering if author Chloe Neill plans to shake things up a little bit too. I would've loved to see more from Ethan, something which would make readers sit up a little straighter and take more interest. It seems Neill is slowly working towards the finale, and it makes me wonder how I will be able to say goodbye to these characters?

While their personal lives may be on track, there's still some danger lurking around the corner. When a murder occurs and it seems to be traced back to one of them, Merit is tasked with finding out what truly happened before the tensions between Houses boils over. The focus of MIDNIGHT MARKED is mainly on the mystery. It's an eventful ride as Neill throws in some unexpected twists and turns, making me believe that MIDNIGHT MARKED will be a crowd- pleaser!
