Bitter blood : the Morganville vampires (edition 2012)

*sighs* This might just be the most satisfying volume of this series yet! Have I already said how much I love Claire? She is the best heroine ever! Smart, tough, courageous, generous, loving and never giving up.

This and other reviews can also be found on my blog (un)Conventional Bookviews.

Bitter Blood is the perfect continuation of The Morganville Vampires series. Claire is such a great heroine; she is smart, tough, courageous, loving and never gives up. Her friends are her new family, and it is quite a new adventure they are all facing in this story.

I think this book is the one in this series that surprised me the most! There were quite a few things that happened that I could not at all guess in advance, and I had no idea which character was behind all the mayhem! It was very well written, with enough things to throw me off track, but not entirely in the wrong direction anyway.

Morganville never disappoints however I want to say that this book did seem a lot slower than most of the previous ones. There was some ghostly action which I really enjoyed. This includes a cast and crew of a real life hauntings type of reality show. What happens with this storyline went way further than I could have imagined Rachel taking it! Its always refreshing to read a ton of books by a particular author and still find that the author keeps the reader on his or her toes! Other going ons in Bitter Blood? The town is trying to find a new permanent mayor after the tragedy in the previous novels. The town is trying to rebuild itself. Amalie for some reason has aligned herself with a particularly evil acting Oliver. Gone is the regard Amalie held human in, even the high regard she held for Claire seems to be gone. There is, of course, more at play then meets the eye. Michael and Eve's marriage is also gaining a lot of hateful attention. Will it actually cause violence to break out? I don't want to give anything away. The only things negative I can possibly say is that the book is slow moving for awhile and that it definitely feels like the series was over and then now Ms. Caine has to come up with new, fresh ideas. I believe she can do it, but I also believe that the series originally was meant to end after the previous book. ( )

Another great book in the Morganville Vampires series! This is one of my favorite vampire series. I like the way the vampires and humans live together in the town and the interactions among them. The characters are great! It's kind of like a teenage version of the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris, with less violence and less sex. Twilight fans should also like this series (I think it's much better than the Twilight series). ( )
