DAYLIGHTERS: THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES BOOK FIFTEEN
By Rachel Caine
Well let’s start with the fact that this is the last book in Rachel Caine’s Morganville vampire series, of which I have read all fifteen. This one stood out to me as it was very different to the last 14 books. Previous books contained more supernatural activity while this last instalment dealt more with human feeling. Just to give you a run down of the previous 14 books, we have our main character Clair Danvers who came to Morganville to attend an university. Fortune does not favour her as she is bullied on campus, hence she attempts to escape the bullying through seeking off-campus housing. This is where the other three main characters get introduced which include Shane – a young man with a tragic family background, Michael – who has a big secret that not even his closest friends know, and the little gothic Eve – who is a sweet person while taking care of Clair like a little sister. Together they fight monsters, take on the vampire queen and her council, enemies become friends, friends are lost, new friends are made, love is found in the oddest of places and there is even a wedding which all happens in the first 14 books. So much more happens but I don’t want to spoil it for you as I loved reading every minute of it. My present book which is the fifteenth starts a little slow but after the first 20 or so pages it improves. There are surprises around every corner, with the highlight being Shane having one big secret and not knowing how to deal with it.
Now my dear readers, you are lucky if you are new to this series as you don’t have to wait for the next book to be written as it has been completed with this last instalment. It took me 5 years to read the whole series while having to wait for the next book to be published. It was definitely worth the wait. You may wonder if this series is for an adult or teen demographic – I would put it in the young adult section. This series does have love séances but it is not too graphic and the fighting is low key.
Enjoy.
