Morganville’s such a nice place to live… And die. If you don’t mind that sort of thing.
When Claire Danvers learnt that her college town was run by vampires, she did what any intelligent, self-preserving student would do: she applied for a transfer and stocked up on the garlic. The transfer is no longer an option, but the garlic may come in handy.
Now Claire has pledged herself to Amelie, the most powerful vampire in town. The protection her contract secures does little to reassure her friends. All of a sudden, people are turning up dead, a stalker resurfaces from Claire’s past, and an ancient bloodsucker extends a chilling invitation for private lessons in his secluded home.
I am now a fully fledged Morganville addict, I don’t know if this is a good thing or bad thing yet, but I’m thinking this is a good thing. Its quite strange because I really didn’t like the first book so much, but the 2nd and 3rd book have totally gripped me in a vice hold I can’t get out of. (Not that I want to).
Claire now has protection from Amelie, the founder of Morganville. This isn’t so good, because she’s had to sign herself over to get it. No doubt her friends won’t be happy that Claire has signed her life away to the person running the show, especially as she did it to keep them safe. The same regulars are in this book, the blond bombshell Michael is still a heart-throb with no heart beat. Shane is still his rumpled bed-headed sexy self. And Eve is just as gothic and glorious.
There is a new addition to the Morganville world; Myrnin. He is quite a complex and frankly freaky character. Very spooky and strange indeed. He is a welcome addition and in most of the scenes he was in, I was sat on the end of my seat, biting my manicured nails in suspense. Claire is important to Morganville, and the reason why the reclusive Amelie gave her protection becomes clear. The vampires are dying out, a fact that none of the other vampires know. A war would surely ensure for the crown of head vampire honcho, which is specifically what Amelie doesn’t want to happen.
Claire and Myrnin work together to find a cure. A cure that would rid the vampires of the mystery illness which will slowing start to destroy them. Claire is torn; should she help the vampires, or stay away, and be free of them forever? Plus, dead girls are popping up outside the Glass House, but who is responsible?
I am loving this series. Loving it. Shane, oh Shane, he is my favourite character. He is all angsty and moody and sexy beyond belief. For all of you who read my review of Dead Girls Dance, I am still working on making fictional characters permanent fixtures in my house. I will share when I find out, I promise, but I get first dibs on the boys. I’m reading Feast of Fools at the moment, and so my love affair with Morganville continues…..
