Description:

 With her boss preoccupied researching the Founder Houses in Morganville, student Claire Danvers is left to her own devices when she learns that three vampires have vanished without a trace. She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town-a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville's latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn't merely human. But is he a vampire-or something else entirely? 

My Review:
I'm so glad this book got me back to loving this series.  "Bite Club" just didn't have the usual for me.  I'm a huge fan of the Morganville Vampires!  I always will be one.  Since the first book, I've been enthralled with every book that Rachel Caine has  written in this series.  I have a hard time putting them down except "Bite Club" which took me longer than usual.  Last Breath got my love back and more.  =)
There's a new villain in town and he's or they actually are not normal.  Far from being normal, I should say.  In fact they can harm the vampires and even humans.  They can scare the vampires actually into running and leaving Morganville.  Isn't that supposed to be good news for Claire?  Not really...you know how Rachel throws in a twist here and there.  Well she did in this book and I was ecstatic.
If you've read the series before, you know Michael (vampire) and Eve are engaged to be married, unfortunately there's going to be huge chaos on the engagement in this book.  Vampires hate the idea and Humans definitely hate the idea more.  Yup...what do you expect, a happily ever after for the both?  Nope...definitely not.  What freaked me out the most is a secret is finally revealed with Michael on something. Oh yes...I definitely was thinking that from previous books.
Oh..and Shane is so much better in this book.  Yes...the adorable and sexy Shane.  How I love thee. *sigh*  Never friggin' do that again, like you did in "Bite Club". Otherwise I will rip you in two.  Shane better step it up and he did in this book.  I love Shane being with Claire.  They're perfect because they're the complete opposite of each other.
Myrin...that crazy fool...I will never get him, but he did something that I will love him forever for in this book.  I did not like Myrin at first when he came into the series...but this book made him grow on me.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves the Morganville Series, loves reading YA paranormal, and loves twists and turns in a story.  Be prepared for an AH-Mazing End to this book also.
May 1st, hurry up and get here so I can read "Black Dawn".  =)  I want more Shane and Claire...and now more than ever Myrin.

My Review:

My thoughts on Bite Club are a little disappointing. I was expecting more from this book...but it seems this is the first book to get two stars from me. Why does it get two stars? Well, let's just say it didn't have the full potential like the other books did. I was mad about Shane and what he put his friends through. I'm also a little upset with Claire because it seems she wasn't her usual self like the previous books in the series. She seemed scared, whiny and not able to make up her mind until the very end.

I will say I liked being inside of Shane's head though, but I didn't like the way he acted. He went through some harsh times in his life and he was reliving them. Of course he was being glamored by a female vampire the whole time, but he didn't want to know the truth until the end of this book. It took him almost fighting Michael and seeing Claire upset that he was not himself.

I was also upset that there wasn't much action in this book. You got a little bit of the fighting, but just a little, to make you want more. The fighting was a good idea, but maybe there could've been more.All together, this book didn't have it's usual Morganville Vampires feel to it and I hope Last Breath can make up for it. The last book I read from the series, had me a little more on edge, this one just made me want to finish so I could get it over with. Please...for the sake of the series...I hope Last Breath can redeem my love for the series.

Description:

 While developing a new system to maintain Morganville's defenses, student Claire Danvers discovers a way to amplify vampire mental powers. Through this, she's able to re-establish the field around this vampire-infested Texas college town that protects it from outsiders.
But the new upgrades have an unexpected consequence: people inside the town begin to slowly forget who they are-even the vampires. Soon, the town's little memory problem has turned into a full-on epidemic. Now Claire needs to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment- before she forgets how to save Morganville...

My Review:

Let me just say this, I would never ever, ever live in Morganville and that's a PROMISE. There is always something going wrong in that town and that's not just because it's full of Vampires. Poor Claire is thrown into another obstacle and I'm so glad she made it out of this dilemma in this book and I'm really surprised on what Amelie decides to do to her. I'm also SHOCKED on what happened in the ending. Wow! Wasn't really expecting that. Rachel Caine had me on the edge of my seat because the book was full of action. I'm impressed with Claire and I'm also impressed with Shane. I'm so glad these two are together. I don't care what Claire's parents think. They are perfect together. I'm looking forward to the next book. Yes, I need my fix of Morganville. I need to find out more about Myrin and Claire. I'm a little concerned about those two...but we'll see. Thanks Rachel Caine...I LOVED this book. =)
