Week 36 Review: Devouring Darkness

From Goodreads:
In the newest installment of the Heirs of Chicagoland series, vampire Elisa Sullivan unearths an ancient grudge, with potentially devastating consequences.

As the only vampire ever born, and the daughter of two very powerful Chicago vampires, Elisa Sullivan knew her life was going to be...unusual. But she wanted to make her own way in the world, preferably away from her famous family. Then supernatural politics--and perhaps a bit of destiny--intervened, and Elisa had to steady her nerves and sharpen her steel to fight for the city of Chicago. Luckily, Connor Keene, son of the North American Central Pack's Apex wolf, is right by her side.

When Elisa and her Ombudsman colleagues agree to escort a troubled sorcereress to Chicago, they inadvertently set in motion a scheme of long-awaited magical vengeance. The city may pay an arcane price it can't afford unless Elisa and her allies rise to the challenge.

My Review:
Oh man this was an amazing installment in this series! We got to learn a bit about the history of magic in Chicago, and oh, I had a great time learning about it all! And dealing with such an interesting-but devastating-threat! 

This scheme with long awaited vengeance? Yeah, it was interesting to get these pieces of information, and given the way the book went, I'm hoping we'll learn more about the past, since there were so many secrets there!

And oh, the developments! Lulu had a pretty big part, and I need to see more from her. And then there's the pack and some interlopers causing trouble. And between the threat that was posed by the bad guy, and what they did...I had to keep turning the pages, it was so compelling! 

Oh that last chapter? There's a few important pieces of information dropped-and actions that I need to know what's going to happen next. They're going to have consequences, and after what they just went through, well, at least they have a little bit of experience-they're going to need it! 

Loved this book, and I need to know what's going to go!
