Thanks to its unique combination of human and vampire residents, Morganville, Texas, is a small college town with big-time problems. When student Claire Danvers gets the chance to experience life on the outside, she takes it. But Morganville isn’t the only town with vampire trouble...

Claire thought she'd never get to leave Morganville, but she can't pass up the chance to finally attend her dream school, MIT. After all, getting to invent anti-vamp devices with Professor Anderson - a Morganville exile herself - sounds like a dream come true... until Claire realizes there are sinister forces at play, and she's not the only one with a vampire-related agenda.

Without her friends Shane, Eve, and Michael, Claire finds that suriving a killer schedule may be hard... but with them, it might turn out to be impossible.

Now, What I Thought:

This is the 14th book! like.. holy cow... 14 magnificent books! And its sad to even write this but.. the last and FINAL book is already out :( I am definitely dreading reading that book.

This, surprisingly, was outside of Morganville and it was just Claire in the beginning, trying to get used to the real world and a different University. I will admit, this was difficult to read. I think mostly because I hate changes and this was definitely a change then the normal way Caine rights her books.

We got to meet new people, like Claire's old best friend that we heard so much in the first book. But as the book progresses, of course drama hits down. We see Myrnin later on, which makes me ever so happy :) Except unfortunately looks like the Shane- lovers will be loving this book because Shane and Claire do reunite in this book and poor Myrnin gets left out.. but Oliver makes an appearance, I remember being so happy, when I read the he was there!! This book was amazing, and even though it was different from most of the others in the series, it was still a great book :)

I will Still FOREVER love Claire and Myrnin, no matter what Caine throws at us.

ps. I haven't fully read the last book, Daylighters, I will admit Iv been stalling because I don't want to finish this series. I will honestly try and finish it and get the review up ASAP. :( so sad.

Fall of Night (The Morganville Vampires #14) by Rachel Caine | Review

For years, the human and vampire residents of Morganville, Texas, have managed to co-exist in peace. But now that the threat to the vampires has been defeated, the human residents are learning that the gravest danger they face is the enemy within…

Thanks to the eradication of the parasitic creatures known as the draug, the vampires of Morganville have been freed of their usual constraints. With the vampires indulging their every whim, the town’s human population is determined to hold on to their lives by taking up arms. But college student Claire Danvers isn’t about to take sides, considering she has ties to both the humans and the vampires.

To make matters worse, a television show comes to Morganville looking for ghosts, just as vampire and human politics collide. Now, Claire and her friends have to figure out how to keep the peace without ending up on the nightly news… or worse.

Now, What I Thought:

This.was.drama.packed. like no seriously, everything in this, every page, was filled with drama!

Sometimes it was WAY to much to handle! An evil somebody comes back to make everyone's lives hell, and some strange events occur because of the little parasite that comes back. Im just going to tell you, Amalie's evil, bitchy, slutty sister Naomi. Long rampage short, she makes everyones lives hell in this book, including the gangs, especially Shane and Claire's relationship.. UGHHHHHHHHH, like I have said many times before, I am not a Shane/Claire lover but still gets me so mad that Rachel Caine decided to do what she did to pooooooor Claire :( WHY CAINE WHY! Why did you have to bring back Naomi..

Just like with the Bishop thing, I wish I could go into the book and kill her once and for all. Like father like daughter I guess. Again, I don't think I have to tell you to read it because if you're this far into the series, I bet you know that the next ones probably going to be even better!

ALSO. SOMETHING HAPPENED. AND NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT IT WHICH REALLY CONFUSES ME. CAINE THOUGHT SHE COULD JUST SNEAK THAT IN THERE BUT NOPE. I NOTICED. Lets just say, I screamed and threw the book. LOL no, I'm not kidding. I literally threw my book out of joy.

AND FOR THAT. THIS BOOOK DESERVES 10 STARS.

With her boss preoccupied researching the Founder Houses in Morganville, student Claire Danvers is left to her own devices when she learns that three vampires have vanished without a trace. She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town-a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville's latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn't merely human. But is he a vampire-or something else entirely?

Now, What I Thought:

Damn, talk about misery and loss.. this is what happens in about the middle to end part of this book :(

So sad, but hey, they'll make it ..right? --This is what iv been asking myself the whole time I was reading this book. The emotional whirlpool that Rachel Caine puts us through is cruel! I mean, the amount of drama and just crappy things happen in this book is heartbreaking.

First, the title of the book, Last Breath, I can tell you now, is very accurate as to what happens in the book.

Something bad does happen to ~~someone in this book~~ many people in this book. This book was just suspenseful and you always had that thought in your mind that everything might turn out ok, but you could never put the book down until you proved yourself right. I'll admit, I'm impressed Caine, your ability to make us feel like someone important is going die and there's no way to stop, is amazing. This was a good, sad book and of course the ending just makes you want to read the eleventh book next.

Probably the only good thing that did happen in this book, and its only good for me and the rest of the Myrnin/Claire shippers, was what he did for her. DEFINITELY intense and Shane knew it. He gave her a choice and she actually had to contemplate it. I know Myrnin wanted a better outcome but I still respect what he did for her. Truly shows outside of all that craziness and ruthlessness in his head, he does care for people, especially Claire.

Deep in the heart of Texas, Morganville is a small college town full of laid-back students and eccentric townies, not to mention the sort of creatures you wouldn't want to run into after dark. Despite their obvious differences, the human and vampire residents of Morganville have learned to coexist, but that doesn't stop genius student Claire Danvers from keeping up her guard. Because in Morganville, nothing is as it seems...

While developing a new system to maintain the town's defences, Claire discovers a way to use the vampires' powers to help keep outsiders from spreading news of Morganville's "unique" situation once they've crossed the city limits.

But the new system has an unexpected and possibly deadly consequence: People inside the town start forgetting who and what they are - even the vampires. And when Claire's boyfriend, Shane, and her best friend, Eve, start treating her like a perfect stranger, Claire realizes she has to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment - before she forgets how to save herself... and Morganville.

Now, What I Thought:

Most people that have read this book probably have one thought: wow Amelie is a B E O T C H with a capital B. Personally, I like her cruelness :) why, you might ask? HELLO, being a fan of Mrynin and Claire together, what happens in this book is just a big HURRAY.

Without spoiling much, Amelie basically punishes Claire, and her punishment is to work on something with Myrnin in his lab without leaving or anything until its done. Which I will admit is pretty harsh and mean but then some "events" wouldn't happen if she didn't muahahahaahh, now I know what your thinking, OMG DO THEY KISS? unfortunately no, I'm not that mean to make you guess but no they do not, to my dismay :( but something does happen and I'm pretty sure if Shane knew about it, he would be weeping in a corner because soon, Myrnin will sweep Claire away :)

Now being a Claire and Myrnin lover, I will admit that Shane and Claire do have a good, tender moment. I do find myself going back and re-reading some parts where its pretty touching. He loves her so much and its pretty evident in this book.

Some SERIOUS problems happens in Morganville, Claire has done something that she and someone else (but mostly herself) has to fix, and quick! If she doesn't save the town in time, she will lose everyone :(

Withoutthe evil vampire Bishop ruling over the town of Morganville,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…

Now Claire can actually concentrate on her studies, and her friend Eve joins the localtheatrecompany. But when one of Eve’s castmates goes missingafter starting work on a shortdocumentary, Eve suspects the worst. Claire and Eve soon realize that this film project, whose subjectis the vampires themselves, is a wholelot bigger—andway more dangerous—than anyone suspected.

Now, What I Thought:

OH MY GOD, I honestly thought I hated Bishop, but DAMN Rachel Caine, you made me hate even more, this Kim chick. SEE I'm angry, I hate her, like haaatee her.

I never will understand why Eve took such a liking to this girl, after what she does (read and find out) is just ridiculous. If I was Michael, I would knock some sense into Eve. This drama with Kim was just making me wish for her death some time in the story.. unfortunately she doesn't die but punishment is put on her, THANK GOD.

Now, you know how I sorta, kinda, maybe liked Ada? well, what can I say, I hate her as well. Caine really expanded on that, once, little drama and made it pretty big because peoples lives are in danger.. NOT NAMING WHO. I don't know what Myrnin saw in her, I guess she might've been different before when she was human but, surely he noticed her jealousy and obsession towards him after.. right? oh well, Myrnin, you little crazy vampire!

I think what happened between Myrnin and Claire was maybe like a bonding experience, even though it wasn't very fun but i think they really connected in this book.. YAY.. and so it begins >:)

I Could probably rant for ages about Kim, Ada, Amelie etc. but the one part of the book that I had to physically laugh out loud at, literally a huge LOL moment, was when Myrnin was showing the footage of Claire and Shane. LOOOOOL for spoiler sakes, I won't go into detail but wow did that make me die of laughter.
