and him and our nonexistent relationship because he's a fake character who does not really exist (trying to remind myself). I was a fan of his from the beginning, but this was really a turning point for me. Wherefore art thou, Ethan? Okay, so now an attempt at coherence and complete sentences: He's fabulous and becomes more so with every book. Twice Bitten Shapeshifters from across the country are convening in the Windy City, and as a gesture of peace, Master Vampire Ethan Sullivan has offered. I always picture him as Ethan: break me off a piece of that! (Complete objectification of men and utterly horrible, I know - I'm officially ashamed) Photos of Alexander Skarsgård are at the end of this review. The one thing that does continue to bug me is Merit is constantly harping on and admiring anew Ethan's unbelievable beauty when she sees him. Here, we finally get that! We see Merit's uncertainty, doubt, and vulnerability - and I loved her all the more for it. I love strong heroines, but I need to be shown some vulnerability, otherwise their 'strength' just ends up looking like pigheadedness. What annoyed me in the first two books was that she came off as too sure of herself, too confident, too much of a know-it-all. She was still her 'fun' and snarky self, but we actually got to see a human (no pun intended) side to her. Merit, Chicago’s newest vampire, is learning how to play well with. I was finally able to actually enjoy Merit, instead of constantly wishing someone would bash her over the head (was that just me?). Read 1,750 reviews from the world's largest community for readers. What you did was wrong, and I expect you-No, I demand you, grovel highly at her capable feet. I'm not sure I can wholly support a liege who harms his house, his sentinel, the women he pines over and trust me, we ALL know you pine over her. (and really, all that bullsh-oney, about duty and wanting to protect the house? Seriously? That's your angle? Pathetic!) You my liege, are a cold,pretentious,manipulative vampire.

Not only did you break my heart with your soft words of need, you then tore it out when you threw her away because you finally scored her. You don't really know me, but suffice it to say I have a standing interest in Merit's Happiness.
