Here&#8217;s the synopsis:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>C<em>louds are brewing over Cadogan House, and recently turned vampire Merit can&#8217;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&#8217;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.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span>That&#8217;s when the waters of Lake Michigan suddenly turn pitch black-and things really start getting ugly.<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><em><span> <\/span><span>Chicago&#8217;s mayor insists it&#8217;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&#8217;ll have to turn to friends old and new to find out who&#8217;s behind this, and stop them before it&#8217;s too late for vampires and humans alike.<\/span><\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>2. MORE HUGS! to everyone who needs them. I also feel like you need a chaser.

Merit and Mallory approve therapeutic application of Chunky Monkey, or your favorite flavor of ice cream. (Skipping the spoon and eating straight from the carton also helps.) Any version of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cooks.com\/rec\/view\/0,1813,158177-251206,00.html\">this trifle<\/a> also works. I&#8217;m currently making one.<\/p>\n<p>4. Reader Blake commented that &#8220;with great power comes great responsibility.&#8221; Believe me, that is well noted.<\/p>\n<p>5. Reader Rick, there was no secret guy code violation. You&#8217;re hanging out with dozens of cool chicks and talking about scifi. I see no code violation in that. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>6. International readers, the May 3 release date for HB was for Penguin&#8217;s publication of the book in the US. \u00a0Other countries have their own publishers who set their own release schedules (I think, for example, the UK release of HB is May 12.)<\/p>\n<p>7. To those of you who&#8217;ve discussed your emotional involvement with the characters, there is no better tribute to Merit, Mallory, and the rest of the CV world that you feel that way. We all thank you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>1. DRINK DEEP is in editing, and will be released November 1, 2011.
