This is a fast moving, action packed series of books that you want all the books right there so you can finish one and immediately pick up the next one. Several have some serious cliffhangers and it drove me nuts to have to wait! Then with the last book, Carpe Corpus, it seemed like there was a conclusion and I thought the series was finished. When I heard it wasn't I thought maybe the author was pushing it a little continuing the series on. For that reason I didn't rush out to get Fade Out. Boy, what mistake! This book was fantastic! It had more of my favorite character, Myrnin, and his crazy antics. It seemed like a more contained story. The issues came up and Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael worked together to figure it all out. There was plenty of action but wasn't quite as chair gripping as some of the others, which I found to be a nice relief.
If you haven't read the books don't read the description. Just go out and buy the books. Or rent them or whatever you do. Then set aside a weekend, or a week, depending on how fast you read, and read them. Seriously, these are fantastic books!
I rate this book 5 moons!
Here's the Description:
Without the 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 local theatre company. But when one of Eve's castmates goes missing after starting work on a short documentary, Eve suspects the worst. Claire and Eve soon realize that this film project, whose subject is the vampires themselves, is a whole lot bigger - and way more dangerous - than anyone suspected.

Thanks for this great review Candace. I've been undecided about this series from the get-go.
ReplyDeleteI was judging the quality of book based on the blurbs...I suppose I shouldn't do that eh?
I'll try 'em, just to see what I've been missing.
These books really are great and I've read so many great reviews. My group read the series not too many months ago and discussed and I don't remember anyone who didn't like them. Some books are better then others, but they are all worth the short amount of time it takes to read them. They are very fast reading! So it's not like you invest a ton of time in them. Definitely try them out and see what you think!
