Chloe Neill is an American urban fantasy author best known for the Chicagoland Vampires series, which ran from 2009 to 2018. The series follows Merit, a graduate student at the University of Chicago who is turned into a vampire against her will and must navigate the politics of Cadogan House under the watch of its Master, Ethan Sullivan. Set against a richly detailed version of Chicago, the books mix supernatural politics with romance and action. Neill later continued the story with Heirs of Chicagoland, which picks up with Elisa Sullivan, the daughter of Merit and Ethan.

Outside of the Chicagoland universe, Neill has written several other series. The Dark Elite is a young adult trilogy set at a boarding school in Chicago where a teen discovers she has magical abilities. Devil’s Isle takes place in a post-war New Orleans where a barrier between the human world and the paranormal has been breached. Captain Kit Brightling is a fantasy series set in a world inspired by Regency-era England, following a naval captain with magical abilities. Her newest work, Souls Burn Brightest, launched in 2025 with Ember Eternal.
