Good but not brilliant. This one is a little more sedate and less action packed but it took a worrying element (i.e. Ada) of the previous book and expanded upon it. That's what I like about this series, it flows almost effortlessly like it's one long story rather than episodes. Everything is explained and played out to its natural end.
I instantly took a disliking to Kim, her attitude was inexcusable. I couldn't understand why Eve worshipped her. Kim's media project to expose Morganvi More...

Now "Bishop" is gone and everyone is friends (we will see how long that last). ;)
Any hoo - Eve gets involved with the theatre company in Morganville. Eve makes a new friend but she goes missing. Eve finds out that she was doing a documentary of the town of Morganville. The gang - tries to fix everything before all the vamps "freak out" and start eating everyone again.

After all the closure in the previous book in the series, Carpe Corpus, I was curious as to where Caine was going to go in this entry. I kept on wondering for over half the book since there didn't seem to be any REAL conflict besides a couple little squabbles here and there. At the time, I found myself hooked - because I love the series - but not devouring the book because there just wasn't that much going on.

(Rachel Caine with her witty dialogue, satire, and incredible characters in her series The Morganville Vampires, she has become one of my favorites authors. And I’m definitely going to be checking out her other works.) With that said, Now that the whole Bishop arc is over, Fade Out brings a new change of pace and tone, and also establish a new arc for the next book. With Amelie having full control of Morganville after she defeated Bishop, the small town is finally at rest (hello rest)—The vampir

Review courtesy of Romance Junkies:
After assisting Amelie in regaining control of Morganville, things have changed for the best. Humans are not treated so bad anymore and have actually come to an understanding with the vampires. Claire is getting back into her school routine, spending time with her boyfriend, and overall enjoying her life again. Things seem to be going well until an old flame of Shane's, Kim, enters the picture. To make matters worse, she is Eve's new best friend.

Man, I am breezing through these books and I just can’t get enough. Words can’t begin to describe how happy I am that I stumbled upon Rachel Caine. Fade Out is the 7th book in the amazing Morganville Vampires series. And yet again, Ms. Caine brought on the goods. Oh and just in case, please do not read this if you are not this far yet.

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...

Now that Bishop is gone, life in Morganville is a lot different, and a lot better. Amelie, the ruling vampire, is changing the way things are, and now, humans have a lot more rights that the vampires must respect. Day-to-day life is safer than it’s ever been, and Claire and her friends actually have the opportunity to do what they like for once since they don’t have to be running from danger all the time. But life in Morganville never stays boring for long, and soon, someone goes missing. Yet wh

Ok, I’ll start this review by saying that I LOVE this series! Seriously, what’s not to love about it? The characters are great, there’s always a new adventure, and danger around every corner! These books are really hard to put down! After reading the 6th book, Carpe Corpus, I thought it felt a little bit like the ending in the series, probably because all the previous books had killer cliffhangers, and Carpe Corpus ended with all the plot lines being tied up. So, I thought what can Rachel Caine

It's Morganville, so the gang knew not to trust things to stay calm, but they sure hoped it would. Everyone but Claire seems to think the "new" girl Kim is great, but Claire isn't so sure. When Kim goes missing, the gang sets out to find her, but quickly find out she really wasn't who she seemed. She's violated the trust of the entire town by creating a video project exposing the deepest secrets of Morganville. It's up to Claire and the others to find her before the vamps do as its not

Fade Out, the seventh book in the Morganville Vampires series, is about what's been happening in the city after Carpe Corpus finshed. They've defeated Bishop, they've changed the rules so that humans are more comfortable living with their undead neighbors, and things seem to be back to normal. Claire is no longer a slave to Bishop, and is going to school and living with her parents while still going over to the Glass House whenever she can to see her friends and boyfriend, Shane. Eve has been ca

With Bishop out of the picture, I bet you thought life in Morganville would take a bit of a dull turn, especially now that the humans in town seem to have a more equal footing than ever before. Well, you thought wrong. This is Morganville, after all, which is short for trouble, with a capital M.
A few things have changed, though. Shane has a job, for one. He’s bringing in the dosh and making his contribution to the crappy Morganville society, chopping and cooking meat at the local BBQ j More...

I love the Morganville Vampire series. This is book number seven in the series and it wasn't what I was expecting. In the earlier books, I was getting a little annoyed because anything and everything was going wrong for the four main characters. It seemed nothing good could ever happen to them. But I really liked how this seventh book was a little different. It seems that things are taking a turn in Morganville.

This was my fav so far even though in the beginning i was worried now that Bishop is gone there won't be action.
Myrnin might be cured but his still crazy and still my fav vampire. Shane finally got a job, not the best job but still a job right? Claire now works officially for Myrnin as a lab assistant.
I thought Kim was just a charactor to put a little dent in the perfect relationship of Claire and Shane but i was shocked to find out she's crazy!

I have always been a fan of sci-fi and fantasy simply because there are no boundaries or limits. Unfortunately, most of this genre is in the young adult classification and therefore a bit well... young and without any meat.
When I saw this series at the library, I almost passed them by simply on the pretense that they were going to be childish based on the length of the books. However, I was looking for a fun and entertaining read and decided to try them.

For people who have not read the series I feel this book almost has a fresh start it doesn’t really bring up to much of previous books to effect someone just starting now to just jump right into this book (though I recommend you read the others). It just seems like a fresh start to the series, new opportunities for this series to keep going on.

I kind of wish this series had ended with the last book. At the end of that one, Claire and Shane were in love, the evil vamps had been defeated, things were going to change in Morganville and all seemed well. It really was a good ending.
But this one picks up a few months later and it's just odd. Claire is being pursued by a hundreds of years old steampunk vampire/computer machine that wants her dead and keeps attacking her. It's just almost too weird.

I can’t believe the genius that is Rachel Caine. How it is possible to have so many unique storylines for the same series that will always hook you in, leave you guessing right to the very last page, and never get old, or disappoint in any way, is beyond me. Rachel Caine is simply amazing, and with Fade Out, she’s done it again!
So, with Carpe Corpus, the sixth book in the series, we had the end of the six book long story arc. Knowing how awesome Rachel Caine is, I knew Fade Out would More...

The central concept of the Morganville Vampires series is one I really like. Vampires dominate a small Texan town and the series in part traces the changing relationships between the vampire overlords and their blood-bearing subjects.
Now that Bishop's attempted coup has been defeated the series could have declined in quality but Fade Out turned out to be one of my favourite volumes. An insane vampire turned computer is an intriguing foe, and since this also means we get to see more o More...

I had been saving Fade Out because it was my last MV book until Kiss of Death comes out - I finally cracked and read it in a single go! Best 4 hours I've had in quite a while!
The book picks up a few months after the chaos of Carpe Corpus - and Morganville is living in relative peace. In fact, this book has less action than is typical for a Morganville book - which is still an awful lot! Caine's books always pack a punch, and Fade Out is no exception.

Synopsis from the back cover:
Without the evil vampire Bishop ruling over the town of Morganville, life has changed— dramatically. The resident vampires have made major concessions to the human population. With their newfound freedoms, Claire Danvers and her friends are almost starting to feel comfortable again...almost.
Now Claire can actually concentrate on her studies, and her friend Eve joins the local theatre company. Yet when one of Eve's cast mates goes missing More...

This has probably been one of my favorite Morganville vampires books, with the exception of Oliver. He's always been one of my favorite characters (Okay, maybe not in the first book.) and I don't like the direction he, or Amelie, for that matter, seems to be going in. But besides that...
Myrnin! Wow! He's finally not (very) crazy, so we get lots more real character development, rather than the dumb attention getting stunts he used to pull that seemed to pass for a personality. Now we More...

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.

My thoughts...There is something to be said about an author's writing when you can jump right into a story without feeling lost. Even though it has been months since I read Carpe Corpus, within about 10-15 pages I was right back into the series. These are easy, fun reads with a unique story line. In this installment, the characters continue to show character growth and development. This story had tons of excitement and several new characters increased the drama, making me feel badly for poo
