Elisa has been working for a vampire House in France for several years and returns to Chicago to her parents House for international supernatural peace talks, which goes about as well as you might imagine. (It must be a challenge to start a new series and both attract new readers and welcome existing readers of the first series, and I can understand why the balance sometimes tipped toward prior characters). A lot of prior characters show up in this book, partly to connect them to the new cast, but as I had no idea who they were, I didn’t pay too much attention. But once the main character moved from Paris to Chicago, the story got going, and it got a lot more awesome.Įlisa Sullivan is the only vampire child born to vampire parents, and her folks are the heroes of prior books in the Chicagoland Vampires series. I had to coax myself to keep going on to the next chapter because the setup and construction of the world in the first part was some slow reading. The lack of knowledge wasn’t a problem because, boy howdy, is there some infodumpage in the first few chapters. I haven’t read any of the Chicagoland Vampire series, so I went into the spinoff series with zero world knowledge.
