Carpe Corpus is the sixth installment of Claire’s story in the Morganville series. As with the other books, Caine does a great job in keeping the action going and twisting the events when you least expect it.
In this book, Bishop’s rule comes to an endgame and the people of Morganville, humans and vampires, make a move to take back their town. Claire faces her most challenging moments as she becomes the pawn between both Amelie and Bishop. Her loyal friends, Shane, Michael and Eve a More...

Wooo Hooo! I will say hands down that this is the best one yet!! Way to go Ms. Caine!! This series is so different from all the other vampire books I have read. Sure they tap into the same well at one point or another, but the creative plots and the action packed, fast-paced story takes you into a whole other level. You can't but help falling in love with this series. (And Shane and Michael of course)

Carpe Corpus is book 6 in my new favorite series, The Morganville Vampires. It gave us some things that we have been wanting. It feels good to say I was pretty satisfied with them except one. But given how Lord of Misrule ended, I was scared to this because it seemed like the end of the world for our great group of friends. But one thing I can always count on, a town full More...

The war between Bishop and Amelie rages on in Morganville. Bishop still has the upper hand, but Amelie is building up an underground resistance with help from her ally Claire Danvers and her friends. Living in Morganville is more dangerous than even, especially now that Claire has been forcibly bound to the hated Bishop. It’s hard to tell who is on which side, and who’s a double agent, especially with the half crazy Myrnin running around. But this battle must end once and for all, and it will. B

I made a trip to my town library, instead of the usual quick dash to the county library on my lunch break at work and found Morganville #6-#8 on the shelf. Town library, I love you. You have the largest YA section I’ve ever seen. (I just ignore the signs that say “adults must be accompanied by a teen”. I don’t think they are really serious about those.)
Ready yourself for back-to-back reviews. Claire has been magically enslaved to Bishop and Amelie is nowhere to be found. Thin More...

The day that Claire has been impatiently waiting for is finally here, the day she turns seventeen. However, nothing is as she imagined it. Claire is living with her parents, and is also completely owned (literally) by the Bishop. Eve isn't talking to her and Micheal is "evil," but the worst thing of all is Shane's predicament. Both he and his father are locked up in jail awaiting execution. Even with the Bishop controlling her through the tattoo on her arm, she still is able to defy hi

Carpe Corpus finds Claire Danvers in more trouble than ever before. Her boyfriend is locked up in jail, Eve isn’t talking to her, Amelie appears to have lost her nerve (and control of the town) and Michael has switched teams, preferring to ride with Bishop and his bad boys. Things couldn’t get much worse than that, right?
Wrong.
Bishop is out for blood – anyone’s blood. Morganville is headed for a full-scale war, and poor little Claire is right in the thick of it. With Amelie o More...

Well when we last left Claire Danvers in Lord of Misrule, the proverbial poop had definitely hit the fan. Bishop (with Myrnin's help) had pulled the coup of coups, Amelie was defeated (well only slightly rumpled), the Morganville rebellion had been quashed and were hurting pretty bad. Shane, his dad, and the beefy motorcycle slayers had been captured or killed, and Michael had been turned to the dark side. (let's now say that in a sinister voice: The Daaaark Side)

You know that sinking awful feeling you got at the end of Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, when it looked like Evil had triumphed and had beat back Good by making Luke go crazy and disappear? That's how I felt at the end of Lord of Misrule. There just seems to be something inherently WRONG with letting evil win at the end of a story--no matter that there's more to the series or not.

It seems like things have settled down for the moment in Morganville, for the roommates, too bad that they all seem to be on different sides and not able to talk to each other at all.
I liked how Richard and Hannah have stepped up on the human side and done what they can to make people safe. I also love seeing Claire's parents argue about sending her to Morganville. Seems like Dad was right, but Mom couldn't cut the apron strings just yet. I also like to see then try to parent Clai More...

Claire, Shane, Eve, and Michael all return in the sixth installment in Rachel Caine’s Morganville Vampire series. Amelie is gone, Bishop is the new leader in town, Shane is in vampire jail, Michael is following Bishop, and Eve refuses to talk to her — Claire has more than enough on her plate! But when people begin to reveal what side they are truly on, Claire finds allies and enemies, both new and old. With a town like Morganville, you never know what’s coming next…

This represents Book Six in "The Morganville Vampires" series. Should you read the other volumes before this one? I didn't feel that it took too much to know what was going on. The author, Rachel Caine, provided context for this book so that the naïve reader of Book Six could navigate the characters pretty handily.

This was by far my favorite Morganville Vampire book. This series started out as filler for me,than Rachel Caine really stepped it up and now I’m addicted!
And Claire is finally 17! Yeah! This could be the moment that I’ve been waiting for since the series started. The scene between Claire and Shane was truly heartfelt. It could possibly be one of my favorite of a young woman losing her virginity. I love when YA books are realistic and don’t glorify sex as this life changing, magical More...

As Claire celebrates her 17th birthday, Amelie is still missing in action. Morganville is under the rule of Bishop, gone are the good old days when vampires had some laws that they lived by. Michael has been bitten by Bishop, Claire has been tattooed by Bishop and both are now faithful to him, Shane was locked in a prison cell with his father, and Eve is on her own in the Glass House. Will the four who were once so tight ever be able to sit in the same room once again? You will have to read

I swear, I'm going to have to make a 7th star. That's for books I have to force myself to put down and not immediately reread it. Charlaine Harris' Dead and Gone came close, but this one I physically had to use one hand to remove the book from the other hand and place it down. Then I used one hand to grab the other wrist to prevent me from picking it up.
OMG was this book beyond amazing. It had an ending, an actual ending that actually left me satisfied.

A very worthy and satisfying climax novel for the current chain of events happening in Morganville.
As climax novels are supposed to do, "Carpe Corpus" brought a lot of things to a head, weaving all kinds of suspenseful and long-awaited moments into the plot. I don't want to spoil, but there are big things happening in terms of death (I was very saddened by the death at the end), relationships (finally *wink*), and struggles for the freedom of Morganville.

Lord of Misrule and Carpe Corpus are my favorites thus far. War suits Morganville. After the huge cliffhanger from the last book we are back at Morganville and things are better than ever (at least when it comes to the reader's entertainment- things at Morganville SUCK for the people who live there right now). Bishop, who I thought was going to get his ass kicked sideways, won the war on the last book. O More...

I have to give props where props are due. With this installment Rachel Caine broke her tedious cliff hanger mold and did it right. She closed up the Bishop long arc fairly well but still left an opening for it to return in some form, she advanced Claire's maturation and made her nearly likable, she steered several pieces of character development in potential new directions without having to turn it into some gut wrenching "stay tuned," and left several possibilities that could be ple

Man. The bad guys aren't reeeally the bad guys anymore. And the good guys aren't the good guys, but not on purpose, of course. Bishop is just that powerful. I found myself roiling with anxiety while I read this installment of the Morganville Vampire series, because how can this all end!? Is there a way? Is Shane going to die, are Claire and Michael always going to be controlled against their will, is Eve always going to hate Claire and resent Michael? What about Claire's parents? Now the

I liked this book overall, the big stand-off was full of action, I liked that... <spoiler> Didn't really like the fact that they killed off sam, But I did like to see Amelie actually have some feelings in her for once instead of Ice Queen Bitchzilla.. That was good, finding myself liking her character more and more.. And little miss Claire FINALLY grew a pair big enough to matter in the vamp world. Loveeee it, especially during the big stand off.

Carpe Corpus - meaning 'seize the corpse' - continues the story of the small town of Morganville run by vampires. This is the sixth installment of Rachel Caine's captivating series and definitely one of the most action-packed.

My Spoiler-Free Review for Books 1 - 10:
To me, these books are the perfect reads because they offer a perfect combination of character driven drama, crazy action-packed scenes, and mega plot twists. Each book has scenes about the friendships and romances of the main characters, but there's also a (relatively) self-contained plot involving one major issue in each one.
