Okay, this book, book 5 just took things to a whole new level. Like I’ve said before, things happen in these books that I just didn’t see coming.
Things are changing as a new, scarier vampire comes to town to take over. Lines are drawn and the vamps and humans that have inhabited Morganville start joining forces against him.
This story had all the elements that the others did, suspense, action, romance, and of course vampires.
I really have enjoyed the progression of each character, coming into their own. That’s been really fun to read about. One element that continues to surprise me is the science that’s intertwined in the story. Alchemy and Physics, I’ve just never been into science but these books make me wish I had.
The cliffhanger ending of this book in particular is excruciating.
He held out his hand for a manly kind of shake. Shane batted it aside and hugged him. There were manly backslaps, and if there was a brief flash of red in Michael’s eyes, Shane didn’t see it.
“You be careful, man,” Shane said. “Those college chicks, they’re wild. Don’t let them drag you into any Jell-O shot parties. Stay strong.”
“You too,” Michael said. “Be careful.”
“Driving around in a big, black, obvious lunch wagon in a town full of starving vampires? Yeah. I’ll try to keep it low profile.” Shane swallowed. “Seriously-”
“I know. Same here.”
They nodded at each other.
Claire and Eve watched them for a moment. The two of them shrugged. “What?” Michael asked.
“That’s it? That’s your big good-bye?” Eve asked.
“What’s wrong with it?”
Claire looked at Eve mystified. “I think I need guys CliffNotes.”
“Guys aren’t deep enough to need CliffNotes.”
“What were you waiting for, flowery poetry?” Shane snorted. “I hugged. I’m done.”
“What about Myrnin?”
Eve swallowed, almost choked, and Michael patted her kindly on the back. She beamed at him. “Myrnin? Oh yeah. He did a Batman and took off into the night. What is with that guy, Claire? If he was a superhero, he’d be Bipolar Man.’
