Review: Last Breath

Claire and her friends are battling a new fight. Eve and Michael are engaged, but no one in the town is eager for the marriage to take place. Instead, both sides are fighting this union.

Claire also notices that something's going down inside the vampire community - something they're not sharing. Instead, they're insisting that everyone stay inside.

Claire learns that an enemy of Amelie has arrived. Vampires are going missing. Amelie is scared. Claire can't imagine what has her so rattled. She knows one thing - if Amelie feels threatened, the danger is worse than ever before.

Can Claire and her friends once again help save Morganville or will this really be the end of everything?

My Thoughts: I really love this series - for the uniqueness of the vampires, for Claire's determination and strength, for Claire and Shane, for Michael and Eve, for Claire and Eve, and all the action and drama. Like all of them, this book had a creepiness factor. I loved watching Claire trying to unravel information about this new threat that no one can see. I really liked the different perspectives, which is new. A fantastic new chapter to an amazing addictive series!

Cover Thoughts: I love the white and the blue together and how it relates to the book

Review: Bite Club

During a lab, Claire realizes that the professor is having the students run properties on vampire blood. Her partner seems to know a little too much information about vampires. When he takes some blood at the end of the session, Claire tries to stop him.

She's unsuccessful. Claire and her friends go to his dorm room later to try to reason with him. They find him dead - with his throat ripped open. Claire knows something's not right.

She soon discovers that Bishop has escaped and he's ready for revenge.

This revenge might have something to do with the way Shane's been acting lately. He's so angry all the time. Claire and Shane rarely spend any time together and when they do, they're always fighting.

Can Claire figure out Bishop's agenda before Shane breaks her heart into a million little pieces?

My Thoughts: This book was a little different because Shane had a point of view in this book. It was interesting (and disturbing) to read his thoughts. I love this series for the danger, the relationships (both friendship and romantic) and the action. I really liked the addition of the girl who can see the future. I hope to see more of her.

Cover Thoughts: I love the purple and the black combination.

Title Thoughts: I love this title!

Review: Ghost Town

**9th book in series**

Morganville isn’t the same since Ada and the computer system failed. Claire and Myrnin have been trying to fix the problem.

Claire gets herself into Trouble.

Eve attends a party in an abandoned warehouse and she’s in danger. Claire, Shane, and Michael run to her rescue. A fight ensues between the vampires and the locals. Claire ends up killing a vampire. According to town law, the punishment for killing a vampire is death.

Amelie gives her a choice: fix the town’s problem or hang in a cage in the town square. Claire chooses to fix the problem. She can’t rest until the problem is solved.

She completes the device.

However, in the days to follow, she realizes that something drastically wrong when people begin losing chunks of their memory. The town becomes deadly once again – even in the daytime. Claire doesn’t know what she can do, but she realizes it’s up to her to fix the machine before it’s too late.

My Thoughts: I LOVE this series. It's super addicting. I LOVE the characters, especially the romances. Ghost Town delivers another amazing installment of this dangerous, action packed series about loyalty, friendship, and love. So looking forward to Bite Club (which just came into the library for me!)

Cover Thoughts: Nice and a little creepy!

Review: Kiss of Death

Claire just made a deal to save her life, but before she can meet her end of the bargain, she and her friends gain passes out of town. Record producers want to hear Michael perform. Claire, Eve, and Shane will accompany him to Dallas. They can't believe their good luck, until they learn they will be escorted and supervised by Oliver.

First, Oliver disappears on business. Then they offend people at a truck stop. They find a nearby motel to crash for the night. Instead of a peaceful night, though, trouble finds them. The men from the truck stop torch their car before they go missing. After shopping for a new car, Claire, Eve, and Shane return to the motel to find the police waiting for them. They're arrested in connection with the men's suspicious disappearances. They know it will be nightfall before the rescue party comes knocking, but the vampire rescuing them is the vampire who wants to kill them.

Now, they're fighting for their lives once again. Will the human trio become a vampire snack, or will Oliver be their only chance at survival?

My Thoughts: Claire and her friends find deadly trouble wherever they go, even outside Morganville. KISS OF DEATH continues in this series of wild adventures, fatal danger, and trouble at every turn. Through it all, these four friends remain together and united. Rachel Caine delivers another winning chapter of this addicting series.

Cover: It rocks!

Review from www.teensreadtoo.com: Fade Out

The battle for Morganville is over and life is relatively normal. Claire is back in classes and working in Myrnin’s lab. She notices something evil and unnatural about Ada, as if the computer brain that protects Morganville is jealous of Claire.

Quickly, life changes back to crazy when Eve discovers a new friend also involved in the town play. Suddenly, she’s too busy to hang out with Claire. Plus, this new girl used to date Shane and it’s clear that her feelings for him haven’t disappeared. Claire’s consumed with jealously even after they learn about Kimberly’s disappearance and her shocking hobby.

Amelie’s struggling with her mental health and her stability while a new rogue vampire, Morley, gains a certain amount of power.

Everything combined could threaten Claire’s world and that of her friends in a deadly dangerous way. Will they be forced to make a perilous choice?

Life is never dull in Morganville, where drama and vampires rarely sleep. Rachel Caine keeps the action fast-paced and throws in twists and turns you’ll never see coming.

Carpus Corpus (from www.teensreadtoo.com)

Claire and her friends are divided over the recent events in Morganville. Shane’s locked up with his father. Michael’s working for the evil Bishop along with Claire - while Eve is furious with both of them. Claire needs to believe the Myrnin has a plan, but she’s not sure she can actually trust him. Bishop is running the town and pushing it close to ruin. He doesn’t care about any of the citizens. Claire realizes that Amelie hasn’t gone into the shadows and disappeared. Instead, she’s been working to move the townspeople out of danger and away from Morganville. With the whole town gearing up for a fight, who will be left standing and what alliances will be broken/formed?

THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES series is a fast-paced, addicting read that draws readers in and never lets them go, and CARPE CORPUS is a great addition to the line.

Lord of Misrule: coming out in Dec/Jan

Also from www.teesreadtoo.com

The town of Morganville has seen better days since the return of Bishop, a master vampire who wants control of the town. His daughter, Amelie, isn’t going to relinquish her power easily. Now everyone’s choosing sides and waiting for the battle to begin. Those who have chosen now have their battle assignments. Claire must find Myrnin, Shane must guard the blood bank, Michael protects the college students, and Eve needs to head back to the coffee shop and to Oliver. In a fight this big, there’s bound to be infighting and backstabbing. Soon the humans in town aren’t sitting on the sidelines anymore. Those who were once protected can no longer count on the vampire alliance to protect them. Claire and her friends are doing everything they can to save the town, but they seem to be the key to the fight. Are they about to be double-crossed themselves?

LORD OF MISRULE is the 5th book in the very popular THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES series. Whilevampire books are flooding the market, this series stands out because of its differences. The vampires in the series are not friendly, they are out for your blood and only something benefiting them will stop them from drinking. Each book simply leaves you wanting more. Suspense and horror alongside of friendship and romance make this series perfect and unforgettable.

Book 6 will be called: Carpe Corpus
