Waiting on Wednesday: Drink Deep by Chloe Neill

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Jill at Breaking the Spine, 

that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating:

After the total emotional punch of Hard Bitten, the most recent book in Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampire series, I have been waiting since before I turned the last page.  Total cliffhanger ending.  Made a lot of people mad.  Me?  Not mad, more...curious. (My review here) And after reading the first chapter (see below) - yes I did - I'm not as mad at Jonah as I thought I would be; I've been blaming him as the author's reason for the turn the series has taken.

So this week's Waiting on Wednesday - Drink Deep by Chloe Neill:

Clouds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can't tell if this is the darkness before the dawn or the calm before the storm. With the city iself in turmoil over paranormals and the state threatening to pass a paranormal registration act, times haven't been this precarious for vampires since they came out of the closet. If only they could lay low for a bit, and let the mortals calm down.

That's when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black-and things really start getting ugly.

Chicago's mayor insists it's nothing to worry about, but Merit knows only the darkest magic could have woven a spell powerful enough to change the very fabric of nature. She'll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who's behind this, and stop them before it's too late for vampires and humans alike.
