Howling For You is a novella (#8.5) in author Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires series. This less-than-100-page story was a wonderful addition to the series. It focuses on the shifter community, specifically the North American Central Pack and the Keene family. Jeff Christopher plays a significant role in this story as well, and many readers will love how he is included in this story. We see another side to him; he's not just a nerdy, IT genius. He's a fighter, a romantic, and a lover. “Sweet and geeky Jeff, lover of games, knew how to move.” I just loved him in this book! The lead character is Fallon Keene, the first female to be next in line for pack leadership. The mystery element was fairly simple and easily solved but this is not a complaint since it's such a short book. Neither Merit nor the Cadogan House are involved; the story really is all about the shifters. This novella was written in a way that any reader new to the series could read it as a standalone novel and enjoy it as such. I am a loyal reader of the Chicagoland Vampires series and I would be loyal to a spinoff featuring these characters as well. Hint Hint Chloe Neill...spinoff please!!!!!!!!!!!!My favorite quotes:"You're very opinionated." "I'm not opinionated, I'm just right. Frequently."“Every time I breathe, I breathe for you. Every time I speak, I speak for you. And every time I howl, I howl for you.”"I'm not putting on a costume to satiate your prurient fantasies," I said, lying back on the floor again. And then I thought about who he was, and who I was, and our kind of romance. "But if you're willing to play Bruce Wayne, I might reconsider." He was. So I did."
