This series is absolutely incredible! I wish I had not waited so long to read it. I have had the first four books sitting on my bookshelf for what seems like forever and then when I received this copy for review it finally gave me the incentive I needed to start them. I have not written reviews for the other novels as of yet, but I hope to do it sometime. Although these novels could easily be categorized as vampire novels, there is just so much more going on, it’s easy to see why these books stand out among the other books in the same genre. And Rachel Caine is one hell of a story teller, I mean wow. I really never know what she is going to do next. I do have to admit out of the five novels so far, the fourth book Feast of Fools was my favorite, but Lord of Misrule definitely had its perks. The story line is gripping and the characters are impressive. While I thought the writing itself was only mediocre. The story itself far outweighs my particulars with the writing. The cliffhanger endings really kill me, and this one has got the be the worst of them all. I need some kind of closure! I’ll be eagerly awaiting the release of Carpe Corpus in June. ( )

I have to say that I was a bit frustrated with this book because it isn’t really a novel at all on its own. I don’t really like it when authors don’t give any kind of closure to their novels. Lord of Misrule picked up exactly where Feast of Fools left off and leaves off in the middle of the story for Carpe Corpus to pick up. If Rachel Caine felt the need to make this segment of the story longer she should have combined Feast of Fools, Lord of Misrule and Carpe Corpus into one novel, because on their own none of them are really full books, they’re merely parts. But anyway, now that I’m done complaining, I did think that the story was very good. Morganville is becoming more dangerous by the minute and the action is building as never before into the other novels. I do like the fact that Caine isn’t making her books short little episodes anymore but is really getting into the story. She may not be the greatest writer but she has a strong voice and an interesting story to tell. My frustrations are mostly the result of one of my own pet peeves rather than any fault with the novel so I would still recommend it to Morganville fans. ( )

Book five in Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires series. A light and enjoyable read, but also perhaps a little light on actual plot. I'm keen to read the next book to know what happens next, but I would have liked more development in THIS book. ( )

Lots of action, keeps you wanting more!! Now the wait for book #6 ( )
