Recap: August 15-19

Series week continues with more MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES.

MIDNIGHT ALLEY by Rachel Caine

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.

Review:  The storyline keeps this series hot!

I recommend MIDNIGHT ALLEY by Rachel Caine to fans of vampires, urban fantasy, and long series. 


FEAST OF FOOLS by Rachel Caine

In the town of Morganville, vampires and humans live in relative peace. Student Claire Danvers has never been convinced, though—especially with the arrival of Mr. Bishop, an ancient, old-school vampire who cares nothing about harmony. What he wants from the town’s living and its dead is unthinkably sinister. It’s only at a formal ball, attended by vampires and their human dates, that Claire realizes the elaborately evil trap he’s set for Morganville.

Review:  Rachel Caine keeps the series fresh with new characters and colossal problems plaguing Morganville.

I recommend FEAST OF FOOLS by Rachel Caine to fans of vampires, urban fantasy, and long series.


LORD OF MISRULE by Rachel Caine

In the college town of Morganville, vampires and humans coexist in (relatively) bloodless harmony. Then comes Bishop, the master vampire who threatens to abolish all order, revive the forces of the evil dead, and let chaos rule. But Bishop isn’t the only threat.

Violent black cyclone clouds hover, promising a storm of devastating proportions as student Claire Danvers and her friends prepare to defend Morganville against elements both natural and unnatural.


Review:  Rachel Caine really keeps up the suspense in LORD OF MISRULE.

I recommend LORD OF MISRULE by Rachel Caine to fans of series books, urban fantasy, and vampires.


CARPE CORPUS by Rachel Caine

In the small college town of Morganville, vampires and humans lived in (relative) peace-until all the rules got rewritten when the evil vampire Bishop arrived, looking for the lost book of vampire secrets. He's kept a death grip on the town ever since. Now an underground resistance is brewing, and in order to contain it, Bishop must go to even greater lengths. He vows to obliterate the town and all its inhabitants-the living and the undead. Claire Danvers and her friends are the only ones who stand in his way. But even if they defeat Bishop, will the vampires ever be content to go back to the old rules, after having such a taste of power?

Review:  Action, mystery and romance are combined in this high stakes novel.

I recommend CARPE CORPUS by Rachel Caine to fans of series, urban fantasy, and romance.


THE IRON KING by Julie Kagawa

Meghan Chase has a secret destiny; one she could never have imagined. 
Something has always felt slightly off in Meghan's life, ever since her father disappeared before her eyes when she was six. She has never quite fit in at school or at home. 
When a dark stranger begins watching her from afar, and her prankster best friend becomes strangely protective of her, Meghan senses that everything she's known is about to change. 
But she could never have guessed the truth - that she is the daughter of a mythical faery king and is a pawn in a deadly war. Now Meghan will learn just how far she'll go to save someone she cares about, to stop a mysterious evil no faery creature dare face; and to find love with a young prince who might rather see her dead than let her touch his icy heart.


Review:  Awesome twist on faerie stories. Loved the idea of iron fey.

I highly recommend THE IRON KING by Julie Kagawa to fans of fantasy. Bonus points for faeries and romance.
