Blood Games (Chicagoland Vampires #10) 
Merit has some major daddy-issues. That can be the only reason she puts up with the bullshit that is Ethan Sullivan - her very hot&cold boyfriend. I mean, seriously? Girl, you need to get some dignity. That's right, after all of the b.s.: Ethan telling her that he is going to propose, they are together forever, he would win her back - after breaking up with her - and after pushing her away when he was first resurrected - he actually pulls the same crap again in this book. He is being

While Merit didn’t choose to become a vampire or Sentinel of Cadogan House, she vowed to fight for her House and its Master, and she’s managed to forge strong alliances with powerful supernaturals across Chicago. But even though Merit has had wild adventures, this may be her deadliest yet... A killer is stalking Chicago, preying on humans and leaving his victims with magical souvenirs. The CPD hasn’t been able to track the assailant, and as the body count rises, the city is running out of options. Vampires and humans aren’t on great terms, but murder makes for strange bedfellows.

4.5My first thoughts when I finished BLOOD GAMES was "my how Merit has grown". And that's a thought that has stayed with me after I've fully digested the tenth book in the Chicagoland Vampire series. As with the other books in the series, Merit and Ethan always have someone coming after them for one reason or another. But in the past, Merit has had a hair trigger when it came to her emotions.
