Synopsis:
Claire Danvers's college town may be run by vampires but a truce between the living and the dead made things relatively safe. For a while. Now people are turning up dead, a psycho is stalking her, and an ancient bloodsucker has proposed private mentoring. To what end, Claire will find out. And it's giving night school a whole new meaning.
My Review:
Yet another exciting adventure in the Morganville Vampire series! Claire makes a bargain for the safety of her friends and their lives by signing herself to Amelie, the vampire queen so to speak. Claire may not understand how much she has sacrificed herself to make this bargain but she does it anyway hoping the vampires are as good as their word. It gets crazy scary when Eve’s brother Jason returns to town and threatens to make Claire and her friend’s lives a living hell.
This one gets more into the reason as to why the vampires are in Morganville and why they are mysteriously dying off. I think the introduction of the character Myrnin makes for an interesting plot twist because Claire becomes more intertwined in the vampires’ secrets and in this way not only gains power but one more reason for the vampires to want her gone. Claire continues to amaze me with her compassion towards those that would seek to hurt her or use her for personal gain. We could say she is naive but I think she sees people and vampires alike beyond the front the put on to the would and sees a soul worth knowing and caring for underneath. Can’t wait to read the next one!
