Book Review: The Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine-Four Stars

The Morganville Vampire Series (1-6)
By Rachel Caine


So, little known fact but this is a book series I hold near and dear to me. Not only is it one of the first book series I discovered completely by myself without ever hearing about it previously, but I discovered this book series in 6th grade and adored it. I actually won a contest that the Author Rachel Caine had, and I won a signed copy of Lord of Misrule which is chilling on my shelf, as well as an ipod, bag, and other cool merch. The reason I'm only reviewing books number 1-6 is because honestly, after book six I stopped reading them. Not because the series sucked! I love Rachel Caine, and I think I always will. I stopped reading this series after number six because I'd buy the books the day they came out and finish them less than an hour later. I'm a speed reader, but I thought it was ridiculous because they're so short and only come out in hardback now. I'll buy and read the whole series once it's complete. This whole series is amazing, and they're really short reads as I mentioned before so for those of you that like books that aren't time consuming but there are loads of them, this is perfect for you. The characters are amazing. I was IN LOVE with Shane in 6th grade. I drew so many pictures of him, and I still have a thing for tall sarcastic boys with flippy hair. I love sarcastic male leads, as you may notice and I just adored him. Throughout this whole series, it's really good to read and I think for fantasy pretty realistic. I can see there being an actual town like Morganville. Rachel Caine makes it that believable, though I'm pretty sure Rachel Caine could write anything and I'd like it. The characters are all really funny, and charming. The plot seems so much more direct than it really is. I think this is so true to life because you honestly can't tell who the good guy is v.s. who the bad guy is. I suggest you read this series, just because it's a series that I think everyone should probably read. You'll love the characters, the plot and the romance. There's so much action and humor balanced out by the perfect amount of really sweet moments to make this book series good for anyone who likes romance with a plot. Go read it and fall in love.
