Kiss of Death

Excellent! I really love this series. Claire is the best girl-hero ever! She's tough, and she's got mad skills, and she's smart. Of course, she also has the hottest boy-friend :D ( )

Never ending action in this one. I think it resolves in an interesting way a lingering plot point from earlier books, and gives an intriguing new spin on the relationships between all the characters (and not just the young ones living in Glass House). ( )

Unlike the previous book, this didn’t feel as much like filler, so I kind of enjoyed it a little more.

Even though I’ve just started reading these books, I liked being able to get out Morganville and seeing how these sheltered kids (in a sense) would react to being able to go out of time for the first time in a while. It’s amusing to hear Eve talk about going to movie theaters with stadium seating as being a cool thing—and yet, actually somewhat realistic. (I know people in a stuck-in-a-small-town situation.) And even though they have to have an escort under Oliver, I do like that the kids try not to let their whole trip get ruined.

Speaking of Oliver, he became a more interesting character in this book. Again, I need to read the earlier volumes to get a better idea of his character, seeing as he comes off as more of a hardcore vampire who’s unwilling to bend the rules. (And because of that, his hippie persona amuses me.) I want to see if there’s more to his character, and see where his development goes.

The plot does lag a lot in this. There’s a lot of emphasis on “YAY ROAD TRIP” and the antics that the kids get up to in Durram. It does have an eventual pay-off, but I would have liked an earlier introduction to the messed-up vampires and the town of Blacke. Additionally, I want to see more with Morley—he just gets introduced in the previous book, so I want to know of his backstory and why he holds so much contempt for Amelie and the Morganville vampires.

It’s a lot better than the last book, since it feels like the events will have a bigger impact in the overall series, and it was still a fun and enjoyable read. I look forward to picking up more of the Morganville series.

This one reminded me very much of the first few books- which is a really good thing. It was hilarious. This book follows Shane, Eve, Michael and Claire as they venture out of Morganville- the first time ever, for some of them. Of course, it doesn't go as planned, and they get themselves into all sorts of trouble before they're even halfway to their destination. It was really fun watching the characters interact with each other outside of their usual environment. The second half focused on a new bunch of vampires that have been made- with the old disease- and they have to cure them or kill them before it gets worse. The end was enjoyable but I found it rather hard to keep up with all the characters. Overall, a really funny and entertaining read. ( )

Well I liked this story much better then the rest of the series! I like the fact that the four friends finally get to leave Morganville even though they run into the same problems in the outside world! I like though how no matter where the four friends go they always seem to find trouble! Overall I don't think I really enjoy the series but this one is better then they have been. Defintely the road trip from hell!! ( )
