Synopsis from Goodreads: 

Turned into a vampire against her will, twenty-eight-year-old Merit found her way into the dark circle of Chicago’s vampire underground, where she learned there was more to supernaturals than met the eye—and more supernaturals than the public ever imagined.And not all the secrets she learned were for sharing—among humans or inhumans. Now Merit is on the hunt, charging across the stark American Midwest, tailing a rogue supernatural intent on stealing an ancient artifact that could unleash catastrophic evil on the world. But Merit is also the prey. An enemy of Chicagoland is hunting her, and he’ll stop at nothing to get the book for himself. No mercy allowed.

No rules apply. No lives spared. The race is on.

My Thoughts...

This is the 6th installment of The Chicagoland Vampires series.  If you like vampire series and you haven't had a chance to read this series yet, I highly recommend it.  It's a completely original take on the vampire world. If you plan to read them you may want to skip over this review or it will spoil some things that happen in the previous books.  Because of that, I am gong to keep this review pretty brief.

Biting Cold starts off pretty much right where the last book ended.

• Ethan is back, thanks to Mallory, but they share a connection that is most definitely unwanted.
• Mallory has been consumed by her dark magic and will be held accountable by an unlikely source.
• Merit is pulled into another situation that will test her abilities as Sentinel of Cadogan House.
• They are finally going to find out exactly what Seth Tate really is!

This book seems to focus more on just a handful of the characters, Merit, Ethan and Seth.  Mallory, Catcher and a few others are in the background, but once the story gets started that's kind of where they stay.  This story focuses mostly on Seth and dealing with the situation that he and Mallory unleash when they get their hands on The Maleficium.  Beyond this, big changes are coming for Cadogan House thanks to a visit from the GP.  The House is taking their future into their own hands once and for all.

This story is one that sees Ethan and Merit taking a huge step in their relationship.  It's one that's been building for quite some time and I, for one, am glad that they have made it to this point.  I am pretty stoked to see what the next book has in store for them.
