The Morganville Vampire

Has anyone read the The Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine?

Can someone please post a quick summary with not that many spoilers?

The thing is I'm about to start reading these books and well I'm confused because when I read the summary on the internet, they are completely different with different characters.

I have read the first book of the series. It was a bit different because the vampire books I've been reading are where you're on the side of the vampires. In these books, the vampires are the bad guys.

I couldn't really tell you too much more because it would be a spoiler, that and I've only read the first book so far.

I just finished the 7th book of the series! Now I'll be waiting for the 8th book due out in April.

April (or the spring) seems to be a prime time for book releases! Anyone else read all the books?

Just finished Fade Out a few weeks ago. So sad that the series is finished!

Oh no! The series is NOT finished! If you go to Rachel Caine's website, she has a listing AND an excerpt of the 8th book called "Kiss of Death".

I wonder though, how much longer she'll keep that series going.

So tell me, what books have you liked the most so far? I really liked the last two: Carpe Corpus and Fade Out. Lord of Misrule was good, too. The weakest book had to be "Feast of Fools". I just felt that there wasn't that much action in it until the last couple of chapters. Up until then it was like, "Ho-hum...chatter...ho-hum." Then the last couple of chapters when it became a physical fight, then it got GOOD! I was glad I had purchased FoF, LoM and CC at one shot so I didn't have to keep going back to the store.

Who are your favourite characters?
I know he's not fully trustworthy, but I like Myrnin. He makes me laugh, actually. I love his whacked out clothes and some of his antiquated ideas. I also like Gramma Day (what the heck happened to her the last couple of books?). And I also like the new Police Chief, Hannah.

Do you think that we've seen the last of Kim What's-her-face? The one who was making the videos? I personally don't. I think that beyotch will be back to cause more trouble for Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael. (As well as the rest of the town).

I can't remember which one (because I read them rather sporadically) it is, but I adored the one where Shane (finally) realized her loved Claire and they hooked up. What can I say, I'm a sucker for romance. Especially one that is sooo meant to be.

LOVE Myrnin. I think the fact that he is relatively untrustworthy and potentially dangerous is one of the main reasons I like him. I just like the unpredictable characters. I absolutely adore the way RC writes her characters. She gives them great senses of humor. Plus, I don't think I can recall a weak or flat character. I can't stand authors who write those. *shudders*

As much as I'd love to say "yes. We've seen the last of that sick, voyeuristic weirdo, I can't help but wonder if she's going to become more major. I really don't want her to, but I also don't want her to just fade and be forgotten, because that implies that she was only good for one book. Which I hate.

i really like this series!! aside from VA of course
i've read 5 books so far..
the stories are so well and neatly written, also packed with a lot of actions

I also liked the book where Shane admitted that he loved Claire. That's great.

I really can't wait until the next book!! I wonder what new adventures will be happening.

Me neither!
I've actually started writing Fan-fiction for the MV series, simply because I miss it. I tend to do that when I'm stuck waiting for another installment of a really good series to come out (i.e VA), though I usually end up abandoning it when the book comes out.

ive only read to the Dead Girls Dance will get farther though

OMG, I love this series! I have all the books at home, and it's so amazing and I love it (: the vampires aren't that much of a bad guy, but some tend to be, I'm currently waiting for the 12th book to come out and it's so amazing! I love how they bring up the draug, creepy little water monsters -.- hmph! Anyway, happy reading people (:

I've just finished the 3rd book last night and i think i'll go buy the 4th tomorrow! i am in love with these books! brilliant!

Ela: The series is amazing (: teehee. I cannot wait for the 12th book (:

I have a lot of catching up to do then if there's going to be a 12th book! lol!

Yesh, you do!!!!!! (: it's amazing!!!!

Just started book 4 today...it's a great series to read while we dont have VA

Lol, yeah! It's amazing! So! Do you know if VA will become a movie???

I think they're in the casting part maybe, Richelle has sold the rights to make a movie, i think.

That's so SWEET! (: I'm content now (:

haha!

just finished book 4...OMG!!!!! this is epic!!!!!!!!!!!! will be buying book 5 this week

(: That's awesome, I'm glad you've taken a liking to the series, Shane and Michael are mine!!!! (: well, mostly Shane

I love them both! Eve, i really like as well. Amelie i find a bit too cold sometimes. Myrnin i find a bit scary but also funny

I LOVE MYRNIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HE'S SO FUNNY AND RANDOM AND WEIRD AND CRAZY!!!!!! And yeah, Amelie isn't the nicest person I know, but she is the Founder and she does have claim over what happens in Morganville. Oh, and Ada is a b****! Lol (:
