We’ve been fans of Chloe Neill’s books since the start of Vampire Book Club more than six years ago. Back then we fell for Merit and the Chicagoland Vampires series. With the release of The Veil today, we get to fall for a whole new world with plenty of New Orleans charm and another heroine we want to be friends with. Her name is Claire and she’s the main character of The Veil, the first in Neill’s new... 
Comments on the last couple Alpha Showdown rounds have mentioned it’s getting harder to choose. We’re evil like that. Today’s no exception. It’ll be a good fight. We have master vampire Ethan Sullivan from Chloe Neill’s Chicagoland Vampires series up against the delicious Tk Kaleb from Nalini Singh’s Psy/Changeling series.

You know how some books seem to take a little while to get started? The world is so elaborate or the language is so stylized that it takes some time to get used to it so you can really get into the story. For me Chloe Neill’s Chicagoland Vampires is the exact opposite. I instantly feel at home in that world and feel like those characters are old friends. Christina Henry’s Black Wings is another series...
