This round, though, brings two powerhouse characters who have been in almost every Alpha Showdown since it’s inception back in 2011. Yeah. These... 
Pretty much everyone at VBC HQ is a full-on Chicagoland Vampires fangirl. Chloe Neill’s urban fantasy series has grown over time, and with each new installment Merit, Ethan Sullivan, Mallory, Catcher, Lindsay, Jeff and the rest of the crew became dearer to us. As Blade Bound, the final installment in the series, hit shelves yesterday, we had to catch up with Chloe and get the lowdown on what’s next—hello,...

Pretty much every member of the Vampire Book Club team adores Chloe Neill’s novels. We glom every title she releases. Last year when she launched the Devil’s Isle series, we fell in love with yet another world. We loved the post-apocalyptic New Orleans she crafted in The Veil (read Jannelle’s review), and could not wait for more. Today the sequel The Sight has hit stores (you really should order a copy...

She could walk you around Chicago and spot all the hidden gems. As a matter of fact, we snagged a transcript of her and Mallory talking about Merit’s favorite late-night snacks. (Okay, so Chloe Neill sent it our way.) It’s how we celebrate... 
A couple weeks ago I joked on Twitter that I was in need of a book boyfriend Advent calendar. There was quite a bit of “yes, please!” from others, but no one could find a good one. Clearly, this was up to me. So, to make the chaotic holiday season a little more fun and a lot more sexy, we’re going to feature a book boyfriend every day for the next 25 days. That’s right. Welcome to VBC’s 25 Days of Book...
