With her boss preoccupied researching the Founder Houses in Morganville, student Claire Danvers is left to her own devices when she learns that three vampires have vanished without a trace. She soon discovers that the last person seen with one of the missing vampires is someone new to town-a mysterious individual named Magnus. After an uneasy encounter with Morganville's latest resident, Claire is certain Magnus isn't merely human. But is he a vampire-or something else entirely?
I’m so glad this book got me back to loving this series. “Bite Club” didn’t have the usual for me. I’m a huge fan of the Morganville Vampires! I always will be one. Since the first book, I’ve been enthralled with every book that Rachel Caine has written in this series. I have a hard time putting them down except “Bite Club” which took me longer than usual. Last Breath got my love back and more. =)There’s a new villain in town, and he’s, or they are not normal. Far from being normal, I should say. They can harm vampires and even humans. They can scare the vampires actually into running and leaving Morganville. Isn’t that supposed to be good news for Claire? Not really you know how Rachel throws in a twist here and there. Well, she did in this book, and I was ecstatic.
If you’ve read the series before, you know Michael (vampire) and Eve are engaged to be married. Unfortunately, there’s going to be massive chaos on the engagement in this book. Vampires hate the idea, and Humans hate the idea more. Yup…what do you expect, a happily ever after for the both? Nope definitely not. What freaked me out the most is a secret is finally revealed with Michael on something. Oh yes, I thought that from previous books.
Oh..and Shane is so much better in this book. Yes, the adorable and sexy Shane how I love thee. *sigh* Never friggin’ do that again as you did in “Bite Club.” Otherwise, I will rip you in two. Shane better steps it up, and he did in this book. I love Shane being with Claire. They’re perfect because they’re the complete opposite of each other.
Myrin…that crazy fool I will never get him, but he did something that I will love him forever for in this book. I did not like Myrin at first when he came into the series…but this book made him grow on me.
I recommend this book to anyone who loves the Morganville Series, loves reading YA paranormal, and loves twists and turns in a story. Be prepared for an AH-Mazing End to this book also.
May 1st, hurry up and get here so I can read “Black Dawn.” =) I want more Shane and Claire…and now more than ever Myrin.

Owner/Reviewer at A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog
I guess I should type a bio here. I'm FranJessca, or Fran for short. I'm the owner/reviewer behind A Book Lovin' Mama's Blog. I've been reading and reviewing books on my blog since leaving the Navy in 2011, and I will keep doing it as long as possible. My favorite genres will always be Romance & Fantasy, and I read every subgenre underneath those two genres. (Sorry, not a fan of nonfiction, so don't try to convince me to read it.)
My obsession with reading started over 30+ years ago when I went to my first Scholastic Book Fair and found R.L. Stine's Fear Street series. Later, I came across Anne Rice's novels at my public library when I was fourteen when my obsession with vampires started. I was the girl who preferred to be a vampire over a princess any day. My husband says I would leave him a heartbeat for a vampire that looked like Spike or Angel (from Buffy the Vampire Slayer) or Damon Salvatore from The Vampire Diaries. (It's true, though, and he's accepted it.)
