I just love to read! For me, it is a way to escape and discover new worlds, to do things you never thought possible, to explore emotions and feelings through words, and I can do it all in the comfort of my imagination. And even though they are not real, I believe the characters you meet in books can change your life and the way you see the world, if you let them.

The Morganville Vampires: Lord of Misrule by Rachel Caine

Synopsis:
In the college town of Morganville, vampires and humans coexist in (relatively) bloodless harmony. Then comes Bishop, the master vampire who threatens to abolish all order, revive the forces of the evil dead, and let chaos rule. But Bishop isn’t the only threat. Violent black cyclone clouds hover, promising a storm of devastating proportions as student Claire Danvers and her friends prepare to defend Morganville against elements both natural and unnatural.

My Review:
This book totally threw me for a loop! Amelie’s father has been in Morganville shaking things up and scaring both humans and vampires alike. Claire is pulled even further into the vampire world by trying to save her friends while serving the vampires she is bound to. I really do like this series because while it is intense, there is a nice mix of sweet (not cheesy) and funny moments. There is always a least one moment I laugh out loud every book. Eve cracks me up with her crazy clothes and witty remarks. Of course Shane and Claire’s relationship continues to develop but they are forced apart for much of this book because they, along with her other friends, are assigned to help bring down Mr. Bishop and the other evil vampires. I will be moving on quickly to the next book since this one leaves us with Claire pledging herself to the crazy Mr. Bishop himself. Nothing good could come from that decision even if she was forced into it.
