Some Girls Bite is the debut novel in the Chicagoland Vampires series. While I enjoyed the story I think this falls under my banner of "I wasn't in love with it on its own but I can tell it has great potential for a series." 
 On its own, Some Girls Bite didn't feel complete. Yes, the driving action was technically resolved but just barely. It's downright evident that this is going to be continued in a second book. Sometimes that works for me and sometimes it doesn't. In this case it kind of didn't. I think that was because the ending just seemed kind of rushed and under-dramatic. If you are going to go out with things unresolved, go out with a bang not a whimper, you know? I knew as I was reading that this was going out on a whimper. There were just so many scenes included that had nothing to do with the driving action. For example, they spent a whole chapter on a birthday party that had nothing to do with solving the murders which was the main problem of the book. And these aren't short chapters... these are like 40 page chapters! 
 However, if I considered Some Girls Bite as a beginning of a series only, I found that I was intrigued enough to continue. To put it simply, I just liked Merit. She's one of those down to earth heroines who comes into her own as the story progresses. I liked her courage and her sense of humor. She's the kind of main character that you don't mind going on the journey with. I enjoyed her cadre of friends and their collective input into the story. I even like both the love interests (because there are always two for Pete's sake!) and I'm curious about both of them. So far I don't think she should really be getting with either of them. The one thing I would change about Merit is how obtuse she was to romantic relationships. Like she gets mad at Ethan for not pursuing her after she flat out turns him down. Then she gets annoyed for Morgan actually pursuing her after she turned him down too. Girl... make up your damn mind already! 
 Overall, if you're looking for a one off, fun, urban paranormal romp this isn't the book for you. If you are looking for a fun, urban paranormal series you're looking in the right place. I'm definitely looking forward to see how this whole thing plays out in the coming installments.
