Can't wait for this book. I seriously hope that in some way Rachel can bring in a love triangle with Clair, Shane, and Myrnin! Myrnin is my most favorite character please Rachel bring the drama!!!
A lot of people hate how this series isn't ending but I LOVE it. I never want it to end...I love the anticipation and waiting for the next one.
Also so people know that's Claire on the cover. it seems to always change to Claire to eve then maybe Claire and Shane or Michael

Where to start with this book.Im not even sure and never thought Id read a Morganville book that left me feeling less than satisfied.let nalone one I would rate under 5 stars! 3.5 i'd say at best.
The story was just so much,a little bit too much.I know Rachel has always had a lot going on in all of the stories but they all interacted at some point and though that did happen in this story as well I didnt feel it,it didnt fit at all.Gah I want to scream about this story so,so much was...more

Oh this was kind of weird but good! :D
Morganville is finally moving towards some place and I like it. The characters are growing up and the grown ups are defined more clearly.
You can't read a Rachel Caine book and expect anything else than an action packed, intense and cleverly written plot. Bitter Blood delivered all those things and left me waiting for the next book one more time! There aren't many series that can keep readers hooked after that many sequels... So what's more to say?

How can I possibly explain how utterly awesome this book was? I devoured it. It had everything I was hoping for, which means it had Myrnin, Claire/Myrnin, Claire, Amelie, Amelie/Oliver, Eve, Eve/Michael, adventure, shocking events, constant danger... It was so nice getting to once again re visit these great characters... with the exception of Shane of course (I am an avid supporter of the "let's kill Shane" fan club; there's more of us than you think). Bitter Blood was pretty much Morganville on...more

just finished it and all i can say is WOW!!my fav. book ever!!!
As excited as I am for this book to be in my hands right now, I don't ever want this series to come to an end!
It takes a certain kind of diligence to keep a fandom interested for thirteen books-especially with the unfathomable amount of series popping out every so often-but to be able to still surprise a fandom after thirteen books belongs only to Rachel Caine.

It has been four months since the vampires, helped by Claire, Michael, Shane, and Eve, defeated the dreaded draug in Black Dawn. It has also been four months since Michael and Eve went against Amelie’s wishes and got married which split Morganville into different groups causing Eve, Shane, and Claire to be declared fang lovers by the human residents and targeted by Captain Obvious.

It always seems that I forget how much I enjoy the Morganville Vampire series until I pick up the next book. I’m always a book behind as I wait to purchase the paperback copy and it seems like I forget about Michael, Eve, Shane and Claire far too easily.
BITTER BLOOD was a really good continuation for me. Is it as perfect as it was at the beginning? No, but a series is supposed to grow and I believe Claire did some MAJOR growing in BITTER BLOOD. I do wis...more

Wow!
I've not liked a Morganville book this much for a while. The last few books were good but not as good-to me- as the first ones. So this installment came as a pleasant surprise.
Many things happened in this book, sad, heart-breaking things. Things I wanted to happen since the beginning, things I was afraid might happen... I suppose I could count thm off but I rather not spoil the story for those who hasn't read it yet, but just trust me when I say, this book is full of twists.

Just barely 4 stars.
The first 75% of this book was just a little better than "okay"...I saw flashes of the things I love in this series, but it never really sucked me in and made me not want to put it down. It was all set for a 3 star review, BUT then page 310 happened...and THEN page 345 (OH. EM. GEE!!!!!) and I was TOTALLY hooked!!! Everything just seemed to fall back into place, the action, the humor, the romance that I love...the last 25% of the book was GREAT!

Have you been dying to read more of Claire, Shane, Michael and Eve ? To see what they have been up to since the last book ? In Bitter Blood, like the previous few books since about Bite Club we see that Rachel Caine has decided to write each chapter from the POV of a different character - be it Eve, Claire, Shane, Michael and in Bitter Blood - Oliver, Amelie and Myrin also have their own chapters. With the draug and Bishop dead - Claire hoped that things would return to the way they were, but it...more
To be honest this one was one of the most boring of the books I mean yes it sux that the vamps are becomeing more strict and taking over and making everyone regiter and have proper id cards but in the begining they had to have braclets of protection as well so whats the big deal and the whole free hunting thing as if they were not already doing that before. I hated the fact that Amelie and Oliver are togather its like a tarnish to Sams memory and any good you think of Amelies character and somew...more

I was SOOOOO excited to finally read this book!!! Now that the draug were finally gone I was curious to see what issues The Glass House residents would have to face. And whoa my mind was blown.
HERE COME THE SPOILERS SO LOOK AWAY IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THIS YET.
First lets start with Niaomi. By this time I had kind forgotten who she was so I had to go back and look at Last Breath to refresh my memory. And what a bitch (Please excuse my language).So once I figured out who Niaomi was I was dumbfounded...more

I rated this book with three stars because it was pretty steady throughout the book. It wasn't necessarily bad, it just wasn't great. I was disappointed in this book because it's the thirteenth book in the series yet it was not as good as the others. The last thirty pages of it were terrific though. There are not many ways that I can relate this book to my life, but one of the things is the main character, Claire. She is a very honest, independent, and smart teenager. I would like to think that...more
I do like this series - the Morganvillebooks are witty, multifaceted and surprisingly intelligent considering their main target group seems to be "young adults".
I began to like them because of the action, dialogues and general intrigue, but lately I've been caught up in the love triangle with you know who - Claire, Myrnin and stupid-ass-Shane. I don't really understand why it should be a problem - a genius like Claire wouldn't possible settle for a roughneck play station jerk who reads Sports Il...more

I'm just sad and empty now. Two books left, and I have to wait for them. I feel depressed.
Yeah, I know, get a grip.
But it's as fantastic as it ever was to me. This one was kind of close to the wire, too. I kept looking at what was left thinking she'd leave on some godawful cliffhanger. Soooo glad she didn't, I might have crushed my phone underfoot in a blind rage.
One thing that I didn't expect in this was that I would be so torn on the Claire/Shane/Myrnin thing. I just don't know. I kind of fe...more

Now I've given all the Morganville books reveiws, so must with this one too. But I just keep...just GRRR! Now I loved the book but there was some things that I didn't like at all.
SPOILER ALERT
So whats up with Pennyfeather? Am I wrong but wasn't there a person named Pennywell that had the same discription as him? Didn't he die? So why is he back with another name and working for Oliver when he/her was all for the go Bishop.

Like all the Morganville vampire books, this one meanders a bit until it gets going and by that I mean that it takes the plot a bit to roll out, but once it does it is hard to stop reading. Now, having said that, the plot didn't really grab me until close to 300 pages of a 404 page novel so it does take some patience.

Thirteenth in the Morganville Vampires urban fantasy series for young adults and revolving around Claire Danvers, a student at Texas Prairie University in Morganville, Texas, and her housemates.
My Take
This is definitely one of the best YA urban fantasy series out there. Heck, it's one of the best UF fantasies period. Caine really knows how to pour on the drama and tension, and it's never false.
This time around, Caine has taken it several steps further and I am dyin' to find out what happens in...more

Morganville is tense. On the outside it looks like the town is rebuilding and calm , but underneath trouble is brewing. Vampires and humans aren’t happy with there status between each other and full out war seems to be waiting just around the corner. Once again our friends are trapped in the middle. With Michael and Eve being married, Clare being seen as the vampire’s pet human, and Shane being friends with the happy couple and dating Claire, they are on everyone’s crap list and both sides want...more
With things going back to the way they were in Morganville, Claire and the Gang have to come up with a plan to stop the Vampires from hunting them because Amellie has given the vampires the right to hunt again. But it turns out that this is not Ameile decision and someone is behind what is going on. Claire and the gang set off to find out whats going on but they find they have all so got allot more to worry about.

I found this book very disappointing. Even more so than the last one, which I found VERY DISAPPOINTING. This series is probably (here read definitely) a little immature for me to still be reading now, but I'm a little in love with Myrnin, so.....
I can't understand a lot of the rave reviews on here. To my mind, the series has been going steadily downhill for a few books, now.

This is the best vampire series I've ever gotten my hands on, that's for sure. And despite the fact that a lot of the characters piss me off in these novels, there are other ones that make up for it. Like in this book, there are so many times I can say I wanted to smash Michael to pieces and strangle Shane, but then I was more intent on hearing the rest of the story than going through all of that. I'm kind of mad that I hadn't read enough of Myrnin in this book, but I'm happy to say that yes, Cl...more

I felt I should repeat it for the other slipper, in case there should be any bad feelings between the two. One should never create tension between ones's footwear.
