Summary/Review

(Rachel Caine with her witty dialogue, satire, and incredible characters in her series The Morganville Vampires, she has become one of my favorites authors. And I’m definitely going to be checking out her other works.) With that said, Now that the whole Bishop arc is over, Fade Out brings a new change of pace and tone, and also establish a new arc for the next book. With Amelie having full control of Morganville after she defeated Bishop, the small town is finally at rest (hello rest)—The vampires are cured from the disease that was killing them slowly, and humans are beginning to be treated equally. Now that the whole battle over the town is over, Claire can finally relax with her hubbie Shane, Michael is focusing on his music, and Eve will be playing the lead role in Morganville’s annual play, A Streetcar Named Desire(I read this last year ^_^ great play.) But this calm doesn’t last (good bye calm) (hello chaos) when Eve’s new BFF, Kim, goes missing after starting a short documantary on the residents of Morganville. And then meanwhile, Ada (Bitchy, homicidal computer.) is trying to get Claire out of the way(basically trying to kill her), so she can have Myrnin all to herself. 

Every time I read any of the books from The Morganville Vampires series, there is never any dull moment. I’ve been reading this series for a while now, and I’m just simply in love with it. It’s book seven, characters are well developed, especially Claire—I’ve grown to like her as a character; she’s not the same girl who needed to be protected in the beginning of the series. She’s grown an incredible amount throughout this series, becoming a strong independent character. What also has changed is the relationship between characters. Oliver who we all know was the main antagonist in beginning of the series, is very much soften up, I guess you could say. We get a small glimpse of what he actually feels for Amelie in this book, and also we learn a bit about his past. Then there’s Monica, her relationship with Claire has soften, we really don’t see much of her character in this book, but yeah a major change.

(Yeah a lot has changed.)

Anyways, the pace was really quick—didn’t drag on. It still had that witty writing, that just makes you laugh out loud(seriously), the dialogue these characters have, I just can’t help but laugh, not that the book wasn’t serious, but yeah just made the whole reading more entertaining. Any scene with Myrnin just made me laugh, I’ve said this before, and I’m going to say it again, “Myrnin is my favorite character.” His character is by far the most complex character in this series. I love his insanity, innocent, intelligence, and his bunny slippers.

Overall this was an awesome book, it managed to make me laugh and keep me intrigue. If you haven’t checked out this series please do, you won’t regret it.

❝Because you’ve got guy parts, you’re automatically a better mechanic than me? I don’t think so,” Eve said, and bailed out of the passenger side.❞

❝When I want to be lectured on strategy, I’ll consult someone who’s actually won battles,” Amelie said. “Not one who ran away from them.”
“Snap,” Eve said.
“You know what they’re talking about?” Shane asked.
“Don’t need to know to get that one. She smacked him so hard his momma felt it.❞

❝As she turned to concentrate on the portal, Eve tugged on Claire’s shirt. “What?”
“Ask him where he got the boots.”
“You ask.” Personally, Claire wanted the vampire bunny slippers.❞

❝I don’t see a way in,” Eve whispered.
Why are you whispering?” Myrnin whispered back. “Vampires can hear us, anyway.❞

❝I have to feed spiders and put up with a bitchy, homicidal computer, My job really sucks.❞

I finish Carpe Corpus by Rachel Caine yesterday, so here’s my review on it.

Summary:As an underground resistance movement to the domination of the evil vampire Bishop builds, Bishop plans to destroy all the inhabitants of the town to quash the rebellion, and only Claire Danvers and her friends can stop him.

Review:Carpe Corpus takes place weeks after Lord of Misrule left of. Bishop has total control of Morganville, Claire(who believes Myrnin has betray her, and Morganville.) and Michael  are working for Bishop(have no choice but to.), Shane and his father are locked up, and Eve believes Michael and Claire betrayed her(eventually their friendship is fixed.). This book had such a different vibe then the previous, though it still had a few satire humor, and twist.

New characters are introduce,the book explores Michael’s death, why he survived, which ties in with the whole thing of what triggers the portals, Also what really powers Morganville/makes you forget about it when you leave. So yeah this book went all Sci-fi, and it just made me love this series more. 

Nothing is what it seems in Carpe Corpus, especially some character you may thought were good, were actual evil-maniac(no offense to Myrnin.), and then characters who you may thought were evil-maniac, may be good and just misunderstood.

By the time you finish this book you will be shocked, sad, and just itching to read the next book.

Rating:3.5/5

Memorable Moments

• Around the beginning of the book there’s this scene where Ysandra hisses at Claire, and then Claire says to her,”Where did you learn to be a vampire? The movies? Because you’re one big walking stupid cliche, and you know what? Not impressed.” (Yeah take that!)
• Another scene that was really memorable was when Claire gave Amelie an ultimatum, in order to save Shane. (Claire really grew a pair.) And Amelie’s reaction to Claire’s ultimatum, I saw it coming. You really see her ugly side.
• And lastly, the death of one of the characters. This character sacrificed herself/himself to save Morganville, like wow such an admiration. I couldn’t believe the character’s death, it was sad. The funeral scene we get to see a lot of vulnerability from one particular character(I just wanted to hug this character).

So, you’re new to Morganville. Welcome, new resident! There are only a few important rules you need to know to feel comfortable in our quiet little town:

• Obey the speed limits.
• Don’t litter.
• Whatever you do, don’t get on the bad side of the vampires.

Yeah, we said vampires. Deal with it.

As a human newcomer, you’ll need to find yourself a vampire Protector—someone willing to sign a contract to keep you and yours from harm (especially from the other vampires). In return, you’ll pay taxes…just like in any other town. Of course, in most other towns, those taxes don’t get collected by the Bloodmobile.

Oh, and if you decide not to get a Protector, you can do that, too…but you’d better learn how to run fast, stay out of the shadows, and build a network of friends who can help you. Try contacting the residents of the Glass House—Michael, Eve, Shane, and Claire. They know their way around, even if they always end up in the middle of the trouble somehow.

Welcome to Morganville. You’ll never want to leave.

And even if you do…well, you can’t.

Sorry about that.

A character you wish were real

Myrnin, from The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine. It would be interesting to actually meet this insane and eccentric character.

A book that makes you happy

 Any book from The Morganville Vampires series, because it is just filled with satire and witty dialogue.

Review:Just finished the 5th book in The Morganville Vampires, Lord of Misrule.So the 5th book picks up right where Feast for Fools Left of. Bishop’s arrival has caused total chaos for the inhabited of Morganville, loyalties are being chosen, vampires and humans working together, and tensions are building up.

It was a quick read, still had that satire I love, and by the end of this book you will definitely want to read the next book, seriously. The twist at the end was shocking XD 

Summary:In the college town of Morganville, Texas, vampires and humans coexist in harmony until the arrival of a master vampire, forcing Claire Danvers and her friends to prepare for battle against both natural and unnatural elements. 

Rating:4/5
