rachelcaine's Morganville Vampire series, and as with the second installment, pretty much picks up right where the previous one left off. If you haven't read the first two, you won't want to start with this one. Plot points set up in the first two volumes have significant impact on the characters here, as the world in which our young heroine Claire is now well and thoroughly trapped grows slowly darker. Claire learns more and more secrets about the vampires of Morganville--and now, with her own position in the town having changed, discovers that her new status is bringing her all sorts of unwanted attention.
As with previous Caine books, the pacing remains excellent--though one may wonder how long Claire and Shane can keep up the sexual tension while also keeping in mind that Claire is a minor. This is another series, too, that really rather reads like one long novel; ending on a cliffhanger note seems to be a thing now, which may put off readers who prefer to have a more self-contained story in each volume. Still, though, fun read. Three stars.
