This is the 4th book in a YA series written by Rachel Caine (she does the Weather Warden series as well).
This book has the same romantic tension between Claire and Shane- along with some sinister events happening in the town of Morganville.
Morganville is a town where vampires live freely among humans- with humans being kept (for lack of a better word) by various vampires. Some are good, most are bad, and all the humans are doing is trying to survive!

"Will you swear?" And Myrnin said, shockingly "I will." And he proceeded to, a string of swear words that made Claire blink. He ended with, '-frothy fool-born apple-john! Cheater of vandals and defiler of dead dogs!" and did another twirl and a bow.
Well Feast of Fools, definitely isn't a filler book. Although slow in the middle, it was probably the best one yet! Do these just keep getting better? Hmm...interesting.

Feast of Fools is the fourth installment of the Morganville Vampire Series, and it was a bit slower placed than the first three books. However, it did deliver an explosive ending with a signature series cliffhanger. I’ve become vested in the main characters of this series, which includes Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael. I like how their actions and loyalty toward each other remains consistent from book to book, and it was nice to see Shane begin to accept Michael as a vampire.

Rachel Caine has done it again. She starts FEAST OF FOOLS like she does the other books in the Morgenville Vampire series - right in the middle of the action which grabs you by the hair, yanks you in, and won’t let go until the story is over.
At the end of MIDNIGHT ALLEY, the foursome living in the Glass House gets some unexpected visitors in the form of Claire’s parents and (in Buffy the Vampire Slayer Speak) the Big Bad - Mr. Bishop A.K.A. Amelie’s “father.” With him in town there More...

As these books continue, I find I am less and less concerned with what will happen to Morganville and its' inhabitants and more concerned with when Shane is going to break and finally "do" Claire. Not that I condone that sort of thing, but it's a book and seriously, there is only so much tension you can build in a book before it starts to get repetitive. So, my unauthorized and likely, unwanted, opinion is, let it happen or kill Shane off. Finally, the other beef I have is that the

And we open the book basically in the same situation. Big threatening bad guy and Claire's parents hanging round. And then we enter a holding pattern. I said the same thing about Midnight Alley and, sadly, I have to say it again, there's very little plot to review.

So far this is my favorite book in the series and here's why: 1. We get to see a lot more of Shane's vulnerability, and to what lengths he's willing to go to protect Claire (and Eve and Michael). 2. Claire really has to set her naivety aside and use that genius brain of hers to help save Morganville, both vampire and human alike. Eve, Michael, Shane and Claire have constantly demonstrated their loyalty to one another, but Claire is giving them all a lesson in loyalty to humanity. I love, love

Rachel Caine is the queen of the cliffhangers. I feel like every novel in this series ends with a cliffhanger. Instead of the conflict being resolved nicely, it is almost as if we're left in the middle of the book. It's impossible to stop reading this series because you never feel satisfied by the ending...you're always left wanting to know what happens next. It really is a brilliant way to hook readers, but at the same time I kind of want a ending and not have to wait until the next book to

How the heck did I get sucked into the Morganville Vampires?? This is teenage, brainless vampire smut at it's finest. Seriously! I'll tell you how it happened to me.
It was such a mindless easy read...I flew through the the first book in a day. I must give credit to the author, Ms. Caine. She lead me into a clever trap at the endings of the first few books. I couldn't walk away without knowing what happened to these stupid, annoying teenagers in the Glass House. I went straight to my More...

So, for some reason I keep reading the next book in the series, even though I havent been remotely satisfied since the beginning. Each book, so far, has been anti-climatic, lacking direction with vague plot lines. The characters are undeveloped and one-dimensional. And to this point, the author has offered us absolutely no description of the main character Claire!! What does she look like? It was referenced in book 4 that she has short hair. Huh, short hair, since when? Is she tall/short,

When Amelie's father, The Bishop arrives, the already fragile peace in Morganville is strained to it's limit. Claire and her friends are told to stay out of it, but of course none of them can really help themselves. After they hear about a ball to "welcome" the Bishop, Claire realizes there is something sinister going on. With everyone trying to keep her safe, she is more determined than ever to find a way to the ball to protect the people, and possibly the vampires as well, that she c

This is Book four in the morganville series following Midnight Alley (Morganville Vampires). The book opens with a tense visit from Mr Bishop & his two cronies Francis & Yasandre. Claire is distressed over her parents safety, Yasandres sudden interest in Shane, Michaels eating habits, and the health of the madcap Myrnin, time is running out for him. Amelie is putting intolerable pressure on her & she feels powerless & goes from one crisis to another.

Wow I seem to be giving out Maura's Choice a lot. That's sort of funny, but really I haven't read any books so far that I haven't enjoy thoroughly. But if I have to give a 4 stars to any books in the Morganville Vampire Series, it would have to be Feast of Fools. Anyways for anyone who knows me, you'll know that my favorite book series of all time is Morganville Vampire Series. I just love all the action, sarcasm, and Rachel Caine's clever writing. What can I say the whole book series is f More...

Spoilers for Book 1 (Glass Houses), Book 2 (Dead Girl's Dance) and Book 3 (Midnight Alley). I should also mention that Books 3 and 4 give really good accountings of what happened in previous volumes. Obviously not all the nuances, but you get the general idea so that you're not flying blind.
Oh Book 4. Usually, by now, I am a little sick of a book series (or heck even a tv series that's reached season 4). Creators will introduce new characters, kill off old characters, put the main ch More...

With the way this book started out I didn't think if could end with a cliff hanger that was worse, but it did. With the new vistors in town you just know things are going to go to hell in a hand basket fast, and that is just what happened.
It is funny how when a bigger enemy comes to town those that were emenies band together. It was interesting to see this happen, especially to see the humans and vamps come together as a team.

Feast of Fools continues the story of Claire Danvers and the Morganville vampires. In this installment, her parents have decided to move to Morganville (not something that most people do, but still!), and Amelie's "father", Mr. Bishop, shows up with them. Sinister characters abound in this fast-paced, thrilling showdown between the town's established vamps--with even power-tuggers coming together on the same side against the new threat--and the "visitors"...

Feast of Fools starts off where Midnight Alley left off. The Glass house has been taken over by a vampire, Mr. Bishop, who claims to be Amelie's father. He has big plans for the humans and vampires of Morganville, and he, along with his evil cronies, will do whatever it takes to put them into motion. It all comes down to the masked ball where the vampires bring human dates. Who will pledge loyalty to Mr. Bishop, and who will stick with Amelie?

Overall I liked the book but it isn't exactly my favorite in the series so far. Honestly the whole series is kinda going downhill, and this is only the fourth book! I hope it gets better.
Anyway the characters have serious issues. Claire clearly has no intrest in self-preservation, throwing herself into stupid, life threatening situations and then running to either Amelie or Richard or in some cases Oliver or some other poor vamp to get her out of it. And I though she was supposed to More...

Even though this book is available in audiobook format, I was too impatient to wait for the library to get it and want to read it now!
All of the books are best read in order and this is book 4 in the Morganville Vampires Series.

No matter how much you think you know someone, you’ll eventually figure out that, no matter what, there’s a side that you don’t know at all.
That is what I’ve learned from this action filled vampire book.
With a slow beginning and a fast paced ending, the fourth installment of the Morganville Vampire series – Feast of fools, was actually pretty good. Though the story changed in between the third and fourth book (like how Shane’s gunshot wound magically changed into a stab wound; and More...

The fourth book in the Morganville Vampires series was a little hard for me to get into. It had been some time since I had read the first three, so I did feel a bit removed from the story line, but I quickly picked up where it had been.

Amelie's father Bishop has arrived in Morganville with a twisted plan. There will be a Feast of Fools, that will end in bloodshed - the perfect revenge on the daughter who tried to kill him. That is not the complete plan, but I don't want to spoil it.
Claire and Shane are still together, as are Eve and Michael, although there is a bit of friction. I'm still getting the impression that Claire and Michael might be getting a bit too close - and hopefully it will be only a matter of time More...

This time I got a bit tired of Claire's habit of doing the opposite of what she is told. I understand her reasons, however, sometimes things are done a certain way for a reason of their own. In the end it turns out that she may have been played; Amelie knows Claire and may have made it look like Claire chose to go her own way when instead she may have done exactly what Amelie thought she would do. (Does that make sense?)

Aïe aïe aïe ! Vampire City est en train de devenir une des mes séries préférées ! Ce quatrième tome est juste fabuleux, magique, intense, prenant, génial... Ai-je dis fabuleux ? Bon ok, je pense qu'on peut le dire : je suis accro à cette magnifique saga. D'ailleurs, comme vous avez pu le remarquer, je poursuis la série en anglais... Au moins je n'aurai pas d'attente et je ne regrette pas du tout cela ! Les romans sont de plus en plus captivants, donc plus vite je les ai, mieux c'est !

Wow... Rachel Caine really blew me away this time. After beginning this book, everything was so fast-paced that I just couldn't put it down. Luckily, it's not that big a book, or I would have been up all night.
First of all, Bishop's(what kind of a name is that?) arrival in Morganville upset the town. He was just like a hurricane. Surprisingly, even Amelie was tense. Every single moment, I was on the edge of my seat(actually, it was a bed), just waiting to see how things could become More...

Morganville, Texas is a busy fictional world. By the fourth book, we have a “The Story So Far” preface, and it's sort of necessary because each book is so jam-packed with drama, frights, and big reveals, it helps to have a little refresher course. Amelie, the ultra-powerful town Founder is in tough situation. Her father, Bishop, has come into town and is demanding that everyone swear fealty to him, and he just might have the strength to back up his demands. Claire's got parental issues, too, whe
