“Neill’s briskly paced third Chicagoland Vampires paranormal romance . . . will satisfy returning fans. Merit’s frequently snarky voice and amusing observations about the occasional absurdities of her situation combine with the magic of Neill’s world in a refreshing take on urban fantasy.”

Honeymoon of the Dead
“Packed with complex subplots, embittered family members, and politics, this is an excellent first installment to what should be an outstanding series in a crowded field.”
—Monsters and Critics
“There’s a new talent in town, and if this debut is any indication, she’s here to stay. Not only does Neill introduce an indomitable and funny heroine, her secondary characters are enormously intriguing and make terrific foils. While the tone of this first-person Chicagoland Vampires series starter is generally light, there is an undercurrent of danger. Truly excellent.”

“[With] the story’s fast-paced plotline, entertaining characters, and lingering mysteries, I can just about guarantee that readers will want to read more of this series.
Some Girls Bite
is recommended reading for urban fantasy fans who shouldn’t fail to be pleased with its vampire protagonist and the plethora of supernatural creatures that it introduces to modern day Chicago. Vampire fiction fans should be well served by this vamp-centric story too.”

—LoveVampires
“There’s a fresh new voice in paranormal and that voice belongs to author Chloe Neill. . . . I was very happy to pick up a book that made me want to turn the pages. The author has created an interesting vampire mythology and a heroine who has spunk and daring; she’s kick-ass without the hard edges.”
—Romance Novel TV
“Hands down, this is one of the best urban fantasy/paranormal romance novels that I’ve ever read. What makes this even more remarkable is that this is not only the first in a series, and therefore has to spend more time on laying the groundwork, but it’s also a debut novel for author Neill. . . . She’s created a unique vampire tale in a genre that’s flush with look-alikes.”
—Undercover Book Lover (Not Really)
“This debut novel by Chloe Neill is not only action-packed—it’s hilarious. I couldn’t put it down; I finished it in hours and jumped online right away to see when book two was out.... [Merit is] extremely charming . . . a great read.”
—Wicked Little Pixie
