#Review #Giveaway of Ink and Bone (The Great Library #1) by @rachelcaine

In an exhilarating new series, New York Times bestselling author Rachel Caine rewrites history, creating a dangerous world where the Great Library of Alexandria has survived the test of time.…

Ruthless and supremely powerful, the Great Library is now a presence in every major city, governing the flow of knowledge to the masses. Alchemy allows the Library to deliver the content of the greatest works of history instantly—but the personal ownership of books is expressly forbidden.

Jess Brightwell believes in the value of the Library, but the majority of his knowledge comes from illegal books obtained by his family, who are involved in the thriving black market. Jess has been sent to be his family’s spy, but his loyalties are tested in the final months of his training to enter the Library’s service.

When he inadvertently commits heresy by creating a device that could change the world, Jess discovers that those who control the Great Library believe that knowledge is more valuable than any human life—and soon both heretics and books will burn.…

Daylighters (Morganville Vampires, # 15)While Morganville, Texas, is often a troubled town, Claire Danvers and her friends are looking forward to coming home. But the Morganville they return to isn’t the one they know; it’s become a different place—a deadly one…

Something drastic has happened in Morganville while Claire and her friends were away. The town looks cleaner and happier than they’ve ever seen it before, but when their incoming group is arrested and separated—vampires from humans—they realize that the changes definitely aren’t for the better.

It seems that an organization called the Daylight Foundation has offered the population of Morganville something they’ve never had: hope of a vampire-free future. And while it sounds like salvation—even for the vampires themselves—the truth is far more sinister and deadly.

Now, Claire, Shane and Eve need to find a way to break their friends out of Daylighter custody, before the vampires of Morganville meet their untimely end.....



So this starts where the other left off.  This one is jam packed with action twists and turns.  No cliff hanging for fans of this series.  I do think a lot of it was tied up a little to neatly.  But all in all I did enjoy the series. I would also love a small novella down the road!!  I wish Eve would have grown a little more as a character.  I think she really was set in her ways from book one.  Claire has grown so much over the course of these 15 books that she is now a woman.  Shane and Michael have both gone through more issues in this book then the girls in my mind.  From going from a gang member bent on destroying all vamps and a ghost going full vamp.  It has been hard for both of them.  I love that the book ended on a happy note but again I felt like it was just a little to neat.  This series was a very long story of survival and is now over I'm going to go cry!


For both books!

Bitter Blood (The Morganville Vampires, #13)Thanks to the eradication of the parasitic creatures known as the draug, the vampires of Morganville have been freed of their usual constraints. With the vampires indulging their every whim, the town’s human population is determined to hold on to their lives by taking up arms. But college student Claire Danvers isn’t about to take sides, considering she has ties to both the humans and the vampires. 

To make matters worse, a television show comes to Morganville looking for ghosts, just as vampire and human politics collide. Now, Claire and her friends have to figure out how to keep the peace without ending up on the nightly news… or worse.







Fall of Night (The Morganville Vampires, #14)
Claire never thought she’d leave Morganville, but when she gets accepted into the graduate program at MIT, she can’t pass up the opportunity. Saying good-bye to her friends is bittersweet, especially since things are still raw and unsettled between Claire and her boyfriend, Shane. 

Her new life at MIT is scary and exciting, but Morganville is never really far from Claire’s mind. Enrolled in a special advanced study program with Professor Irene Anderson, a former Morganville native, Claire is able to work on her machine, which is designed to cancel the mental abilities of vampires. 

But when she begins testing her machine on live subjects, things quickly spiral out of control, and Claire starts to wonder whether leaving Morganville was the last mistake she’ll ever make..



So this one we get to see inside Oliver's head!  Not to sure how I feel about that one even after reading it!  These two books are just the OMG of this series!  From people turning to the dark side to their lives just turning upside down  These are two of the BEST BOOKS in this amazing series!

Last Breath (The Morganville Vampires, #11)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?










9526658
Ever since the draug—mysterious creatures that prey on vampires—took over Morganville, the lives of student Claire Danvers and her friends have been thrown into turmoil. Most of the town’s residents have evacuated, but Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael have chosen to stay and fight.Using the city’s water system to spread, the draug have rapidly multiplied. Things in Morganville look grim, especially since vampire Amelie—the town founder—has been infected by the master draug’s bite. 

Now, if Claire and her friends don’t figure out how to cure Amelie and defeat the draug, it looks like Morganville will become little more than a ghost town…



These two books took me a little longer to get through.  If you follow my Facebook page you know that I was really cutting it short with these date to post.  So I closed the door on my room and tied myself to the bed to read.  These are two books that should be in a bind up!  I would have died if I had to wait for them!!!!!!  Well with the introduction of a new character and creature.  I don't know how the gang is going to fair for the next three books!!!!  
In these we still have the muti POV which I LOVE!  However these were a little bit slower than the other books.  


For both books!

{Review} {Giveaway} The Morganville Vampire Series Vol. 5 @rachelcaine




Hey guys today marks the  fifth day of a 1 week review!  Each day I will post a review for two of the Morgainville Vampire books ending on Nov. 3rd with Daylighters coming out Nov. 5th!  During this you can enter to win one of two sets of the entire series. 1 is for the USA which will all be in PRINT and one is for INT which will be Ebook!  All you have to do is comment to win!

I wanted to include a little information.  There is NO real Vol. 5 of this series.  As the bind ups were discontinued.  So you can only find books 1-8 in the bind ups.  The rest are sold as normal size paperbacks and hardbacks.  


Ghost Town (The Morganville Vampires, #9)Get ready for "non-stop vampire action" (Darque Reviews) in the latest Morganville Vampire novel from New York Timesbestselling author Rachel Caine. 

While developing a new system to maintain Morganville's defenses, student Claire Danvers discovers a way to amplify vampire mental powers. Through this, she's able to re-establish the field around this vampire-infested Texas college town that protects it from outsiders. 

But the new upgrades have an unexpected consequence: people inside the town begin to slowly forget who they are-even the vampires. Soon, the town's little memory problem has turned into a full-on epidemic. Now Claire needs to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment- before she forgets how to save Morganville...
Bite Club (The Morganville Vampires, #10)After discovering that vampires populate her town, college student Claire Danvers knows that the undead just want to live their lives. But someone else wants them to get ready to rumble.

There's a new extreme sport getting picked up on the Internet: bare—knuckle fights pitting captured vampires against each other—or humans. Tracking the remote signal leads Claire—accompanied by her friends and frenemies—to discover that what started as an online brawl will soon threaten everyone in Morganville..











Ghost Town
I really think that this book even with the issues has been my fav.  This series really doesn't set as a series to me.  But more of a lot of short stories with the same characters.  I am so used to a series dealing with one central issues over a few books.  All in all this one is DEFF my fav. It kept me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen.  As we seen with past books Caine is not scared of killing of characters!!


Bite Club
Bite Club is the only book that I have in an ARC as well as a finished copy!  The only reason I still have the ARC is because its signed lol.  I don't think ill ever be lucky enough to get an entire set signed by Mrs. Caine.   This one is Fight Club with Vamps and again was really good!  We for the first time get to be in another characters POV.  Which I loved!!  I know it was a little hard to get used to and at first I was skipping Shane's POV but then I realized that it was part of the book so I went back and read it all.  And OMG It was great!  Diff. POVs give us readers the inside scoop on what other characters are thinking.  Don't get me wrong I love Claire.  But it was great getting out of her head for a while.


For both books!

The Morganville Vampires, Volume 4Now together in one volume, the seventh and eight books in the Morganville Vampires series show that even without an evil masyer vampire controlling the town, Morganville is still a dangerous place to be - for humans and vampires alike...


FADE OUT 
Without Bishop ruling over the town of Morganville, life has changed - dramatically. The resident vampires have made major concessions to the human population. With their newfound freedoms, Claire Danvers and her friends are almost starting to feel comfortable again, but when a filmmaker goes missing after starting work on a short documentary about vampires, Clair and her friends are feeling anything but safe.


KISS OF DEATH 

Vampire Michael Glass just received the call he's been waiting for all his life. His music has attracted the attention of a heavily connected music producer who wants to cut a demo and play some dates - which means Michael and his friends will have to enter the human world. But between a pack of hateful humans and a savage party of traveling vampires, Michael, Claire, Shane, and Eve may not make it to the show on time...or ever.


Well these two books went very fast.  With a lot of backstory tossed in for those who either 1. have not read the series. and 2. for those who have not read them all at once.  So if you haven't read these in a while its ok.  You will deff know what is going on by the first chapter or so.  From life changing in Fade Out.  New laws and rules for both sides.  The humans start to come out of their shells and are not as afraid to tell it like it is.  I think they have found their will to live again.  Then in Kiss of Death Michael comes center stage for a the chance of a lifetime and this also has our first full story set OUTSIDE of Morganville!



For both books!

{Review} {Giveaway} The Morganville Vampire Series Vol. 3 @rachelcaine

The Morganville Vampires, Volume 3With the arrival of the evil master vampire Bishop, the small college town of Morganville, Texas, has dissolved into chaos. Now together in one volume, the fifth and sixth books of the Morganville Vampires series show that defeating Bishop is a task that's going to take some serious skill....


LORD OF MISRULE 

In Morganville, 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 happen
s: Morganville's vampires begin to vanish one by one. Discovering why leads Claire to one last choice: Swear allegiance to Bishop - or die....


CARPE CORPUS 

An underground resistance is brewing in Morganville. In order to contain it, Bishop vows to obliterate the town and all its inhabitants - the livingand 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 such a taste of power?

I can say now without a doubt that these first 8 books really do belong together in the bind ups.  I think I would have died esp. in the first two books if I would have had to wait for them to be published.  I love the way that the story and world have come together.  And now toss in a new face from the past and it works out very well.  We of course still have the issues.  But again those will go away when you get to book 11.


For both books!

{Review} {Giveaway} The Morganville Vampire Series Vol. 2 @rachelcaine




Hey guys today marks the second day of a 1 week review!  Each day I will post a review for two of the Morgainville Vampire books ending on Nov. 3rd with Daylighters coming out Nov. 5th!  During this you can enter to win one of two sets of the entire series. 1 is for the USA which will all be in PRINT and one is for INT which will be Ebook!  All you have to do is comment to win!

The Morganville Vampires, Volume 2
Morganville is such a nice place to live... And die. If you don’t mind that sort of thing.

When Claire Danvers learnt that her college town was run by vampires, she did what any intelligent, self-preserving student would do: she applied for a transfer and stocked up on garlic. The transfer is no longer an option, but that garlic may come in handy. 

Now Claire has pledged herself to Amelie, the most powerful vampire in town. The protection her contract secures does little to reassure her friends. All of a sudden, people are turning up dead, a stalker resurfaces from Claire’s past, and an ancient bloodsucker extends a chilling invitation for private lessons in his secluded home. Claire Danvers has her share of challenges---like being a genius in a school that favors beauty over brains, dealing with the homicidal girls in her dorm, and above all, finding out that her college town is overrun with vampires. On the up side, she has a great roommate (who tends to disappear at sunup) and a new boyfriend named Shane, whose vampire-hunting dad has called in backup: cycle punks who like the idea of killing just about anything.

Now a fraternity is throwing its annual Dead Girls' Dance and---surprise!---Claire and her equally outcast best friend, Eve, have been invited. When they find out why, all hell is going to break loose. Because this time both the living and the dead are coming out---and everybody's hungry for blood.




Well I started to read these as individual books.  I even went out and grabbed the first 8 books in there mass market paperback versions.  And well those started to read much faster then the bind ups.  this one picks yo where The Dead Girls' Dance left off.  This one has a little more of the world building that we haven't really gotten and introduces some new faces.  I really am starting to love Claire she is coming into her own. And being the scared little girl she was in book one.  



Ok so this is where things start to get a little ugh!  I really wish they would have gotten a different editor or something.  Because, the inconsistencies start and they don't tend to stop.  As Im writing this (as I have finished the entire series) You will have inconsistencies until book 11.  I think they finally stop there.  So if you can hang on for that long you will be out of the woods.  Well The Dead Girls' Dance of course picks up after book 3.  And things are just getting worse for those living in Morganville.  This one has a little cliff hanger.









For both books!

The Morganville Vampires, Volume 1Glass Houses                                                                    From the author of the popular Weather Warden series comes the debut of an exciting new series set in Morganville, Texas, where you would be well advised to avoid being out after dark.

College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation. When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new roommates don't show many signs of life, but they'll have Claire's back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood. Will she be able to face the town's terror or will she drown like everyone else?                    The Dead Girls' Dance                                                        Claire Danvers has her share of challenges---like being a genius in a school that favors beauty over brains, dealing with the homicidal girls in her dorm, and above all, finding out that her college town is overrun with vampires. On the up side, she has a great roommate (who tends to disappear at sunup) and a new boyfriend named Shane, whose vampire-hunting dad has called in backup: cycle punks who like the idea of killing just about anything.

When they find out why, all hell is going to break loose. Because this time both the living and the dead are coming out---and everybody's hungry for blood.











Ok this bind up is great for these two stories! Cause man if I had to have to wait for the second book I think I would be curled up in a ball crying my eyes out! Ok so Glass Houses does a wonderful job of introducing us to all the main characters in the stories. As well as some side characters that come in at book two.  I was horrified by the end of this one so again so glad that this is in a bind up. This one will leave you on the edge of your seat as you dont know who is going to survive to book two! 

This one picks up where book one left off!  Which was such a great thing. Although if you have read book one you dont find out the answer to the cliff hanger for a chapter or so.  Which kinda ticked me off!  lol.  You do find out more about the vamps and about how Morganville works.  And this one doesnt leave you on the cliff of doom so much.  I also loved that even though Shane is a horndog he still will not take advantage of Claire which is great!  I really love that they Claire feels like she has known them forever!  She is part of their close nit family and they all love her like a sister (well except Shane).
 It was a little on the slow side at times but not as bad as a lot of book I have read.
"I Own IT!"
