Midnight Alley

Rachel Caine gives us Midnight Alley, the third book in the Morganville Vampires Series. This book picks up where the third book leaves off. Rachel uses the cliffhanger model in her series with style. Each book wraps up the current dilemma and then opens a new one to leave you hungry for the the next book.

An Excerpt from Amazon:

Claire Danvers’s college town may be run by vampires but a truce between the living and the dead made things relatively safe. For a while. Now people are turning up dead, a psycho is stalking her, and an ancient bloodsucker has proposed private mentoring. To what end, Claire will find out. And it’s giving night school a whole new meaning.

The Dead Girls' Dance

The second book in the Morganville Vampires Series, The Dead Girls’ Dance, kept me turning the pages from beginning to end. This sequel to Glass Houses, provides a back story to Shane that comes back to haunt him. Shane’s dad is back for revenge, and Shane becomes collateral damage. Claire has to save her new boyfriend with the help of her friends.

An Excerpt From Amazon:

Claire has her share of challenges. Like being a genius in a school that favors beauty over brains; homicidal girls in her dorm, and finding out that her college town is overrun with the living dead. On the up side, she has a new boyfriend with a vampire-hunting dad. But when a local fraternity throws the Dead Girls’ Dance, hell is really going to break loose.

Glass Houses (Morganville Vampires, Book 1)

Glass Houses

Rachel Caine is an amazing author. I’ve read 3 of the books in this series so far and I’m absolutely amazed by how alive her characters are. She adds so much dimension to their personalities through true to life interactions with each other and incredibly accurate dialogue. All of the books in the series that I have read so far have cliff-hanger-endings, but I love that in a series. It keeps me reading the series as if it were one long story rather than a collection of loosely related stories.

Amazon Excerpt:

From the author of the popular Weather Warden series. Welcome to Morganville, Texas. Just don’t stay out after dark. College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation, where the popular girls never let her forget just where she ranks in the school’s social scene: somewhere less than zero. When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new roommates don’t show many signs of life. But they’ll have Claire’s back when the town’s deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood.
