Book review: Feast of fools, Lord of misrule and Carpe corpus by Rachel Caine

Author: Rachel Caine

Title: Feast of fools

Genre: Young Adult

Series: The morganville Vampires (book #4)
My rating!

On the Cover:
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 learned to live in relative peace. Still, Claire Danvers knows that after dark, her homework can take a backseat to staying alive. But this tenuous harmony is really turned on its head with the arrival of Mr Bishop. Bad to the bone, the 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.

Title: Lord of Misrule

Genre: Young Adult

Series: The morganville vampires (book #5)

my rating

On The cover:

Morganville. Texas. Just south of normal. In the college 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 student 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.

Title: Carpe Corpus

Genre: Young Adult

Series: The morganville Vampires (book #6)
My rating
On the Cover:

This title includes a brand new and exclusive morganville short story only available in this edition. 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?

My Review:

I´ve decided to just make one review on all three books. Lets just pretend this is another omnibus. Trust me when I say that this Author does not disapoint you. I mean how can she keep it interesting book, after book, after book? Well she does. You just want more and more and the storyline just gets more and more complex with new layers and new characters. I love that she in the third book (see review here) lets the storyline slow down and then in the fourth book (feast of fools) starts to heat up again. It really does work great. And there are always twists and turns that you do not expect. You will never be bored with these books and now there is something else on the horizon. I feel a twist in the lovestory between Shane and Claire, but who knows. One can only find out by reading the next book!
