Midnight Alley (Morganville Vampire #3): Book Review

Hello, and good morning,

Today I am reviewing the third book in the Morganville vampire series: Midnight Alley

Synopsis

When Claire Danvers learned that her college town was run by vampires, she did what any intelligent, self-preserving freshman would do: She applied for a transfer and stocked up on garlic. The transfer is no longer an option, but that garlic may come in handy.

Genre: Young adult, paranormal (Vampire)

Review:

This series gets more eventful, intense and action packed with every new book! That being said I still find the books a quick and easy read. 

The introduction of Myrnin an old and very wise vampire, who is looking for the cure and needs Claire help in the research.  However, Myrnin is getting very ill mentally which makes the plot more intense and gripping. Also with Myrnin comes more knowledge of Morganville and the people inside.

Overall: 4/5 stars

The Dead Girls Dance (Morganville Vampire #2): Book Review

Hello and good morning,

Today I shall be reviewing the second book in the morganville vampire series: The Dead Girls Dance

Synopsis

Claire has her share of challenges. Like being a genius in a school that favours beauty over brains; homicidal girls in her dorm, and finding out that her college town is overrun with the living dead. On the up side, she has a new boyfriend with a vampire-hunting dad. But when a local fraternity throws the Dead Girls' Dance, hell is really going to break loose.

Genre: Young Adult, paranormal (Vampires)

Review

MAY SPOIL THE FIRST BOOK!
I feel that this book is even more intense and emotional than thee first book, it is even slighter more darker and more action packed. The book starts of just where the previous book (review here) finishes. The beginning allows the reader to feel satisfied that the cliffhanger is being resolved but makes the reader want more.
More secrets are share but even more secrets are left secret, which are left unsolved which makes the book gripping and keeps me turning the pages. We meet new characters a main one being Shane's dad who bring with him the information of Shane's pasts.

Glass House (Morganville Vampires #1): Book Review

Hello and Good Morning,

Today I am reviewing the first book in the Morganville Vampire series; Glass House.

Synopsis

College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation. When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new room mates don't show many signs of life, but they'll have Claire's back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood. Will she be able to face the town's terror or will she drown like everyone else?

Genre: Young Adult Paranormal (Vampires)

Review:

Even though this book is about vampires I find it quite a light read, with the flowing writing, witty humour and fun characters. The writing style is easy to follow, and keeps you turning the pages which makes it an easy and quick read. This twist and turns, and a range of suspense, it has a good mix of witty humour and action which keeps it engaging.

That being said the vampires are quite the cliché as in can't go out in the light however also unique in the way they aren't seen as sexy/hot rather manipulative and suave, which I believe it made it easier to read and follow. The other characters however are the complete opposite, Claire is witty and seems to always find trouble, Eve is hardcore and kick ass, Shane is overprotective and cool, and Michael is mysterious!

Rating: 4.5/5 

It's a really good vampire book however not quite as a good as my favourite vamp book The Immortal Rules. That being said they are very different, and I love to pick up the morganville vampire books for a quick yet entertaining and action packed book.
