Road trip, baby! This one takes us out of Morganville and into the "real" world but perhaps the real world is scarier than Morganville. The road trip is innocent enough until the group are given a chaperone who insists on stopping in a small town in the middle of nowhere. Queue bad luck and horror movie action.
I love Morganville so leaving was new, for about 5 minutes when I began to miss Myrnin's quirkiness, Amelie's smooth self-control and damn even Monica's bitchiness. T More...

Well, once again Rachel Caine did not disappoint! I love how she can throw you for loops and make unexpected turns and then conclude in such a strong way! Every book seems to end with you longing for more! (SHANE!!)
Kiss of Death was another fantastic tribute to The Morganville Vampire series. If anything stands out that makes me just love this series even more is the bantering between the characters. I mean, the stuff they say and the come-backs are pure awesomeness! I think it reall More...

I'd die for this series I love it so much! Once again, Rachel Caine has out done herself and the book was great. In this edition they're finally free! But not for long, all field trips need chaperons, no matter how bloodthirsty. The vacation will be cut short and the fearless group faces the worst they have so far, and a mystery that needs to be uncovered and helped. Of course, though out all hell relationships continue to hold strong. Claire also discovers a new bravery that was completely hila

For the record, I lied. Fade Out wasn't enough. It doesn't help that I have this and Ghost Town on my shelf. I started immediately after finishing Fade Out XD. I can't help myself. I just love how reading the Morganville's are like getting reacquainted with an old friend. And how they're fast paced. And doesn't take itself too seriously. Lots of fun :D
Anyways, rambling much?
So, Kiss of Death, we had a love-hate relationship.

So...let's just say I absolutely love this series!! There is a new twist every time I read the next book. In this one, it should have been obvious that their road trip would be anything but normal. However, I didn't expect half of what happened!! For them to be able to leave Morganville must have been a dream come true. Having Oliver along at first seemed like a complete bad thing. It turns into being a very good thing as they encounter vampires that were changed by Bishop and left to get sick.

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.

Life in Morganville is looking up. A big music producer wants to work with vampire Michael Glass, and that means that he will be granted the previously unattainable—a brief vacation from Morganville. But this respite isn’t without strings attached; though Michael can take his friends Claire, Eve, and Shane, he also has to take a vampire escort, Oliver. Before any of them even leave, all can tell this combination is not going to be fun. They figure if they can just survive the road trip, then the

I admit I have a soft spot for the Morganville Vampires. Mostly because a lot of the characters are vampires who could be classified as 'evil' by most other trashy vampire writers, but were spared that humiliation by Caine because she's actually about 3/4ths decent. Amelie's a frigid bitch but she is still a good guy, Myrnin's a nutter but he's still a good guy, and even Oliver is blatantly a complete asshole but stays a sometimes-good guy. The plot develops every book, and looking at Claire in

Oh man, this series never disappoints! This book starts with Michael getting the deal to record a CD in Dallas, so everybody at Glass House is excited to go on a road trip, especially Eve after having some uncertainties about her and Michael’s future together. We also get some “awww “moments between Claire and Shane (you’ll know what I’m talking about as soon as you read the end of chapter 2 ;)), but before leaving, the gang finds out that Oliver is going with them. It’s the beginning of one hel

It’s very sad. I am 14 books behind on my reviews. I just finished the September books last week and I haven’t even started reviewing the October books and here we are at the end of November. So, I’ve decided to try something new to get myself caught up. I’ve reviewing from the most recent back. Since I remember the most recent books with more clarity, I think this will go much faster.

Considering their track record, they should have known things just couldn't go smoothly. To start off the crazy train trip their least favorite vampire is coming along as a chaperone. When he makes then stop in a one horse town with a order to stay put until he can get back, the gang gets extremely annoyed, a

You know how it gets when you're really into a series, and the number of books in that series starts inching closer to the double-digits, and you get that itty-bitty niggle of worry that this book will not be as good as you're expecting?
Boy, was that a run-on or what? Anyway. I practically inhaled Kiss of Death. Seriously. Yeah, yeah, I know I normally read fast. And this one wasn't a big book to start with. But still. Inhaled.

Vampire musician Michael Glass has attracted the attention of a big- time producer who wants to cut a demo and play some gigs-which means Michael will have to enter the human world. For this, he's been assigned escorts that include both a dangerous immortal as well as Michael's all-too-human friends. And with that mix of personalities, this is going to be a road trip from hell…

What I gotta say, I'm glad I picked it out, on my third visit to the bookshop on the third consecutive day I went, I decided to check this book out, having doubts about it and whether or not it's worth my dime. And I couldn't get enough of it in any sense. Rachel Caine has a very good sense of humour, not so serious all the time, and eventhough when the situation is serious, there is always someone who made it seemed funny, okay, to narrow it down perhaps Shane and Eve, gotta love em!

I remember reading that Rachel Caine had had a 6-book plan set out for the Morganville series when she started out. Kiss of Death is book 8 – and her lack-of-overarching-plan is kinda starting to show.
Don’t get me wrong, I really enjoyed Kiss of Death. Caine’s verse is as addictive as ever. I love these characters and their angst – so, really, how could I not enjoy another visit into their world? But Kiss of Death was definitely a step down from some of the other Morganville book More...

Well this book certainly deterred a bit from the typical formula for this series to date. Very little Myrnin, Amelie, or Morganville. Oliver accompanies the Glass House foursome out of the town limits for a musical adventure. Finally we get to see the kids we've come to love be able to relax and play, right?
Wrong. It would seem that outside of Morganville is even worse than within the boundaries that Michael, Eve, Shane, and Clare were beginning to feel claustrophobic from. The real More...

I am very glad that Rachel Caine stopped ending the books with frustrating cliffhangers and I hope that will continue. Kiss of Death had a great plot that was not as action-packed as the previous books but was enriched with great characters that I wish to see more of. Sadly, not much Myrnin or Amelie in this one but lots of Oliver which I'm very happy with. If I had to pick two characters to have their own spin-off it would definitely be Myrnin and Oliver.

I really love this series for a lot of reasons. The kids lives are really realistic (if you don't count the town full of raging vampires) in that they have everyday problems like everyone else. School, jobs, insecurities. I also really like that there is always consequences for their actions. It a series full of great characters. Each one strong in their own way and each book is a lot of fun.

Little Claire! not so little anymore... she's growing into a very respectable, brave, strong and desirable young woman and Shane totally knows it. Shane on the other hand, is a lot more restrained this time, not losing control over himself as usual, good thing.

The music producer still wants Michael to go to Dallas and cut a demo in the studio, The Counsel okays passes for all four friends, and the road trip begins. Sounds like it would be a great addition to the series, until the road trip actually does begin. For starts, they have to take Oliver as an escort, but that's not where the story gets bad. What bothered me about this book was how the stop in Durram, Texas went. I know this group of friends are supposed to be trouble magnets, but I think

It's normal for most series to start lacking in content after a while. Things start being predictable and the books get boring. This series is the exception to that rule. Even though this is the 8th book in the Morganville Vampires Series, it was packed full of new developments! In this book we leave Morganville for the first time. Claire, Michael, Shane, and Eve get to leave and head to Dallas, Texas in order for Michael to do a recording of his songs. Of course, they must have an interesting e

One of the things I really like about this series is that it's not horribly angsty. The conflict tends to come from outside sources and imminent death rather than WOE, MY BOYFRIEND IS CHEATING ON ME! Which isn't to say it doesn't crop up from time to time, but it's kind of a nice change from some of the other books I read.
