Welcome! This is The Review, my review on YA books that I have read. I try to Blog on every book I read after I read them and I read as fast as I can but it takes me a while to read a book if it's long. I use books to escape and I hope you can escape into books yourself because it's the best place to be for me, even though most of the books I read are quite dark. Just warning you. Leave comments!

Morganville Vampires 10: Bite Club by Rachel Caine




Blurb:
After discovering that vampires populate her town, college student Claire Danvers knows that the undead just want to live their lives. But someone else wants them to get ready to rumble.
There's a new extreme sport getting picked up on the Internet: bare- knuckle fights pitting captured vampires against each other-or humans. Tracking the remote signal leads Claire- accompanied by her friends and frenemies-to discover that what started as an online brawl will soon threaten everyone in Morganville...

Review: 
Sorely awated next book in the Morganville Vampires chapter. I adored this book, more than the last few, I think. This book alternates, unlike the others, between Claire and Shane. I liked this one better because Claire really fully comes into her own self. She gets more of an edge and learns how to fight for herself. This book usesd all the other plot lines, revisting old characters and developing the regulars more. This book has unexpected plot (the only word I can think of) happenings.
I reccomend you read the Morganville series, just for this book.
Just 9 books before this.
Good Luck!

Morganville Vampires 9: Ghost Town by Rachel Caine

 
Blurb:
When Claire is ordered to repair the systems that protect Morganville, it's not just cutting into her study time, it's a life-threatening problem. If there's one thing this vampire infested town is serious about, it's security.
But achieving the impossible only brings a whole new set of problems, and the upgrades have unexpected consequences: people in the town are slowly beginning to forget who they are, even the vampires. Soon, the town's little memory problem has turned into a full-on epidemic. Noe Claire need to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment - before she forgets how to save Morganville...

Review:
This one was confusing but amazing. The emotions, the action and Shane... wow. These books are amazing and I love them. A lot of the things from the other books were incorparated. These books are fantastically written, action packed, sexy, and scary.

Morganville Vampires 8: Kiss Of Death by Rachel Caine

Blurb:
Claire Danvers has a few things on her mind. First of all there is the laundry, which is now an unfortunate shade of pink. Then there is her boyfriend, Shane, who is never too far from her thoughts. Finally, there is her best friend Eve's relationship problems. As if life as a student wasn't complicated enough, Claire just happens to be studying in Morganville. A town run by vampires.
Trouble seems to follow Claire and her friends like a shadow and tonight is no exception to the rule. They must find the most difficult documents for a vampire to acquire; people passes that will allow 'bad ass' Morley and his friends to leave Morganville. But it's proving incredibly problematic, and with the odds seemingly stacked against them, the biggest question of all is...
Will they survive?

Review:
I really liked this one. It was really good. I loved that they got out of Morganville but the trouble still followed them. But I did feel that it was normal...........BAM BAM BAM. It was kind of like everything happened at once and I didn't feel like it was that realistic. I liked that it got parts of the other books, incorparated into the book but I did find a couple of Scrubs and Friends lines in there but only right at the beggining.
I felt really sorry for them all, right at the end because they all realised they were trapped in Morganville, it made me feel guilty for ages because it must be horrible to feel trapped like that.

Slight Tweek

Watching Glee made me think a few things things.
Cory Monteith (Finn Hudson) is infact very, very tall and Lea Michelle (Rachel Berry) looks like a child compared to him.
Mathew Morrison (Mr. Schuster) has no pout.
If you watch the same glee episode twice in a day (my life is very productive when I do homework) it gets very annoying
Chord Overstreet (Sam) (Very hot!) looks a lot like my image of Michael Glass, way more than Jesse McCartney.
Chord Overstreet as Michael Glass

Morganville Vampires 7: Fade Out by Rachel Caine


Blurb:
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 freedom, 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 realise that this film project, featuring the vampires themselves, is a whole lot bigger - and way more dangerous - than anyone suspected...

Review:
I thought this book was good. Good. Still confusing but really good. Really great. I so didn't like the character of either Ada or Kim but you so won't like them when you get to reading this book. But I defianatly did not like the spiders. You won't either when you read this.
I give it an 8/10

Morganville Vampires 6: Carpe Corpus by Rachel Caine

Blurb:
In the small town of Morganville, vampires and humans lived in (relative) peace - until all the rules got rewritten when the evil vampire Bishop arrived, looking for the lost book of vampire secrets. He's kept a death grip on the town ever since. Now an underground resistance is brewing, and in order to contain it, Bishop must go to even greater lengths.
He vows to obliterate the town and all its inhabitants - the living and the undead. Claire Danvers and her friends are the only ones who stand in his way. But even if they defeat Bishop, will the vampires ever be content to go back to the old rules, after having had such a taste of power?

Review:
Out of the whole of this series, this one was the one that confused me the most. First, Claire seemed to grow up in a matter of days. Second, some weird stuff was going on. My mind is still trying to figure it out but I don't think I will.
The story was still good though, good plot line, confusing but good. This book was mostly centered on Claire, at the start, she feels alone and angry but toward the end she matures more with Shane. One of the only critisms I would give is that I didn't like how it was tied up in a neat little bow, leaving room for more but a totally different story to it, instead of carrying on the plot.

Morganville Vampires 5: Lord of Misrule by Rachel Caine


Blurb:
Morganville, Texas. Just south of normal.
In the coolege town of Morganville, vampires and humans coexist in (relatively) bloodless harmony. Then comes Bishop, a 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 clouds promise a storm of devastating proportions. As stundent Claire Danvers and her friends prepare to defend Morganville against the elements - both natural and unnatural - the unexpected happens: Morganville's vampires begin to vanish one by one. Discovering why leads Claire to one last choice: swear allegiance to Bishop... or die.

Review:
Dark, from start to finish. This town is strange in one more way than one, but the sense of knowing that when you go to give blood, it will go straight to someones lips. At first, I found it hard to get into but after sitting on my bed for an hour, I found it hard to stop. It was even more thrilling that the last book but the love story between Claire and Shane and the other between Michael and Eve makes your heart flutter and makes you go 'awww.'
A work of genius of Caine's front

Morganville Vampires 4: Feast of Fools by Rachel Caine





Blurb:
It was hard to imagine how Claire's day could get any worse... And then the vampires holding her hostage wanted breakfast.
In the town of Morganville, vampires and humans have learnt to live in relative peace. Still, Calire Danvers knows that after dark, her homework can take a backseat to staying alive. But this tenuous harmony is turned on its head with the arrival of Mr Bishop.
Bad to the bone, ancient old-school vampire cares nothing about keeping the peace; staying at the top of the food chain is enough. What he wants from the town's living and dead is unthinkably sinister. It's only at a formal ball attended by vampires and their human dates that Claire realises Bishop's plan - and the elaborately evil trap he's set for the warm-blooded souls of Morganville...

Review:
Action packed, adrenaline filled, heart stopping thrill ride, from start to finish. Outstanding and amazing. My fingers gripped the page, like it was life or death, every page, something was happening, nothing stopped, my heart actually went into overdrive in parts, my mind was begging for more clues toward the end. I loved how fantastically written this was. I normally down like books that are written in the third person but this one also keyed into Claire Danvers mind. I was incredible, I would recommend it to everyone.
