The Morganville Vampires Collection 15 Books Set,

Product Information

This book provides a new perspective by adding Eve and Amelie’s viewpoints. The author also adds another layer to the vampire lore by explaining why Morganville was created in the middle of the desert. Despite the series’ predictable formula, the book is fun and engaging, leaving readers curious about what’s to come. The book has a slightly juvenile tone, which is ironic since the main character--a brainiac who is sixteen years old and in college--spends much of the book insisting that she's not a little kid. I feel like a lot of the events weren't really thought out and were there to move the story along without really considering the repercussions. It's kind of like how, in Harry Potter, Harry always managed to get away scot-free--and sometimes even with a congratulatory pat on the head--in spite of all the times he ignored rules or authority to save the world/his friends/stuff. Except that this book doesn't even go that far. Eventually, I kind of just gave up all hope for at least some bit of realism.

Trouble is like looking for them everywhere because they just get in town for one day and get arrested. Things don't stop here, because they have an unexpected "rescuer" Morley which takes Claire,Eve and Shane prisoners with him and other vampires in the lookout for a new town. Now that Ada is dead he escape Morganville without The Founders permission. I actually had no idea what book number I was on since I'm reading these in volumes, two at a time. So, I was a little surprised to find myself already on book 7, and I was even more surprised with Rachel Caine. By this time I didn't think anything worse than Bishop could happen to the gang. Well, that's where people need to think again. The town of Morganville is preparing for the annual “Feast of Fools,” a celebration where humans and vampires can let loose and have fun. However, tensions rise when a group of human radicals threatens to disrupt the festivities and reveal the town’s secrets to the outside world.for being written by Rachel Caine, right off the bat. I genuinely enjoyed Ill Wind; it was a creative, rip-roaring five-chapter venture into a new kind of urban fanatasy, and it was cool. I didn't even mind the hot tub scenes, and the ending was acceptable. I've also read one of Ms. Caine's short stories set in Morganville, in an anthology, and thought it was interesting and that I'd like to know more about the series. For Claire Danvers, high school was hell, but college may be murder. It was bad enough that she got on the wrong side of Monica, the meanest of the school's mean girls, but now she has got three new roommates, who all have secrets of their own. And the biggest secret of all is not really a secret, except from Claire: Morganville is run by vampires, and they are hungry for fresh blood. Now a fraternity is tossing its yearly Dead Girls’ Dance and the surprise here is Claire and her similarly outcast closest friend named Eve, happen to be invited. Once they discover why, all nightmare will probably bust unfastened. Since this time both living and the dead are arriving out and everyone’s starving for blood. The story didn't go too fast nor too slow, and the world that Rachel made was fantastic. Again, I'm sure I'm one of the few people left in this world who has yet to read it, but I'm glad I did. I also love how Rachel ends each book with a cliffhanger of sorts. Shane’s father , I can understand his state of mind with his daughter and wife, but I think his mind may have crossed the line into forgetting he has a son, somebody that he should be loving ,not pushing away with blind fury and possibly ending up a bit unstable in the brain department. His devotion to his cause is getting out of control. It’s hurting who he should love, deeply and his methods!!!

It’s a nice story, with a crew of likable, down to earth characters, who were being pushed through one deadly situation after another. The troubles which the residents in the Glass House had gotten themselves into are too many that it is almost humorous (in a good way). And I really like how the author wrote her vampires, they were brutal, cunning and at some point very cold blooded, but their characters were built that way with reasons, and you soon can tell the truly evil ones from the rest. The vampires aren’t all bad but they are not humans’ harmless best friends either. I think it’s what made Rachel Caine’s novels realisticShe gets badly beaten by a group of mean girls at campus who threaten to kill her. However, that doesn’t mean that she’ll call her parents and request a school change, because a quitter she is not (huh?) The small College town of Morganville is not what it seems. It has very, very dark secrets. Morganville is not safe after dark, unless you have protection, even that can be revoked.

Claire decides she can't live in the dorms for fear Morgan and her posse will end up killing her so she seeks out a roommate add. Upon her arrival at the Glass House, she meets her said roommates Shane, Michael and Eve. Claire Danver a first year student of TPU been bullied by bad girls called the Moniketes. (Almost the books that I've read bout college thing, they always have this protagonist that always been bullied, a nerd or something. Have they ever think of changing that concept?) They are the queen bee of the school, like a bitch modeling there ugly bellies in the hallway as if they looked beautiful. I really love this series for a lot of reasons. The kids lives are really realistic (if you don't count the town full of raging vampires) in that they have everyday problems like everyone Morganville is again thrown into chaos when a new group of vampires arrives. These vampires are different from those Claire and her friends have faced before and are more dangerous. I enjoyed the rivalry situation and the character’s bonding. However, the storyline in this book felt duller than previous ones. The book ended without a resolution, but some readers are excited to continue reading the series. 6. Carpe CorpusRichard Morrell was the town's mayor, after his father's death. He is also Monica's brother. It is implied that he and Hannah have feelings for each other but nothing comes of it as he is killed by the draug. Being a brainiac means of course that she’s abnormal. She likes physics. What normal girl likes physics? (huh?)

So let's talk a little about young adult paranormal fiction. Let's talk a little about suspension of disbelief. For example: try to imagine the first episode of the X-files with a twenty-two-year-old, gum snapping, blonde in five inch heels and a tiny tank top instead of the lovely Gillian Anderson in the role of Scully. Most of us would stop watching there, because we can't suspend our disbelief far enough to wrap our minds around the idea of that woman as a doctor/FBI agent.

Her roommates take her in after she promises not to cause any trouble for them. They warn her not to leave the house, but she has to go to… you know, to class and all, so she doesn’t take their warning to heart. Once in campus, the mean girls grab her again, and so Claire calls her roommates to come to her rescue (HUH?) The writing was easy to follow and didn't lead you astray. It keeps you in suspense and the story line flows so you get pulled into it. I just love the characters, even the secondary characters. Claire is awesome but I have to say, her two male roommates keep your toes warm. I thought the Glass House roommates (Eve, Shane and Michael) were A LOT like Alice, Emmett, and Edward (before I realised he wasn't the main love interest). That's all I see them as, really. I liked this book very much. Claire wasn't annoying like I expected, though she seemed like it when I first started reading. I liked most of the characters and everything went smoothly. Though it did end on a major cliffhanger, which I really don't like. Don't kill my sweety, please. I liked world building and the whole story of vampires running the whole city. What I didn't like is how the author made some characters seem complitely irrational. Take Monica for example. She wants to kill Claire just because she made her look stupid in front of her crowd. I get that her pride was crushed, but really? To kill a girl just because of it? And not to mention she set fire to Shane's house, which unintentionally (I hope) killed his little sister? She just seemed really ridiculous sometimes and I really laughed one or two times when she said something stupid.
