Morganville vampires is quick a long series the books in this series are:

- Glass Houses

- The Dead Girls' Dance

- Midnight Alley

- Feast Of Fools

- Lord Of Misrule

- Carpe Corpus

- Fade Out

- Kiss Of Death

I was in the airport getting some books and there was an offer on books and picked up glass houses. I really like the idea of a whole town run by vampires and the books are really good reads.

 

Have you read the series or planning to read it?

India, it would be nice to have a few more of your own views when you start a new thread.. what was it that you liked so much?

[chesilbeach]

I read the first three books last week, and I'm trying to spread them out a bit otherwise I think I'd just have inhaled them last weekend.

 

I like that the vampires are actually the dangerous and there is a constant threat and a sense of peril. I love the four characters in the Glass house, and I'm a bit biased because I can't remember the last time I read a book where the main heroine was called Claire - spelt the correct way - not that I'm biased or anything, but my name's always felt to ordinary to be used in literature and on film.

 

Plus I never forget the quote from The Breakfast Club about girls named Claire

[Julia]

I read all of the books and I am really in love with Morganville.

There are so many stories. And I like Claire and the other people of Glass house and Amelie...

I've read all 8 too! I was a fan of Rachel Caine anyway, having read her Weather Warden books, so tried the first Morganville book when it first came out - 2006, doesn't seem that long! They seem to have more substance to them than certain other YA vampire books and as CB says, the threat of danger and being involved with these vampires is more traditional. You just know they're not going to take Claire (spelt properly, my sister is a Claire!) shopping

 

Eagerly awaiting MV #9 on November 1st

[BookJumper]

You lot have intrigued me... *plans minor robbery in order to acquire funds*!

[AbielleRose]

I just bought Glass Houses and am really looking forward to reading it. Everyone whose mentioned them seems to have had very positive reviews so far.

[alison10]

I bought these in The Works 3 for £5 so a bargain, I will start them very soon after reading the reviews.

[Purple Princess]

I have the first six of these books - bought in the Works on 3 for £5 too!

 

I've read the first three books in the series and really really like them, I'm trying to read other books in between to make the series last a bit longer but think I will buy the final three books in the Works while they're still on offer.

 

I totally agree with you guys about the real sense of danger that seems to have been lost in other more recent vampire novels. I also really like the four main characters that live in the glass house - and my name is Claire too and I can't agree with you more CB about how our name is always either spelt incorrectly or is used on a rubbish character - so yay for Rachel Caine!

[ladymacbeth]

I read Glasshouses about a year ago and funnily enough I just didn't really enjoy it. I'm trying to remember now why that was.

 

I think I might actually like "good" vampires. Bad boys turned good. Must say something about my inner psyche. Glad you guys are enjoying the books.

Just finished Feast Of Fools. I can't be the only one who thinks these are on of the best vampire series ever? I got the first one for christmas and decided to give it a chance, I'm actually so glad I did. A total change on what is normally in the vampire books. Love the idea of the vamps running the town. I was lucky enough to get my copy of Lord Of Misrule signed by the author herself so instead of reading it, I have it sat on my book shelf looking pretty.

I have to say, totally in love with Sam. He is just my favourite vampire of all time!

Ah yeah I'm the same there... lol But I'm guna try read one of these since I hear there's a Claire in the characters lol

[Heather]

Looks like I have more books to buy I like the sound of the vampires running the town makes a change and danger thrown into the mix.

[Weave]

Another addition to my wishlist

[chesilbeach]

I read books seven and eight this week. Both really enjoyable reads, but I'm glad they've moved away from the cliffhanging ending meaning you had to read the next one straight away!

 

Can't wait for the next installment, Ghost Town due out on 1st November, I think.

[anisia]

I just started the third volume now, I am in love with this series!

[Bettyboop33]

I'm reading glass houses now and I have Dead girls dance on my shelf. LOVING the books at the moment hopefully going to read my way through the whole lot.

[Toneeh]

Read them all except the final. can't wait to read the last one. They're brilliant. Read them ALL!

 

In The works in york? The series is 3 for £5:D instead of £7 each

[Trillian]

I've only read the first two so far, even though I have all of them! I'm trying to space them out a bit to make them last lol. It's a great series. As well as great main characters, I really like that the vampires are bad!

[Charm]

I've read the lot and am waiting to get my hands on the next one 'Bite Club'. This is a great YA series, full of action, a bit of romance and fast paced. Definitely recommend

[oceansoul]

I've read the first 4 books or so in this series. Then I got bored with it. I think that's partly because they were just too short. By the time you'd got into the story it was over. The characters could be fleshed out much more if they were longer. Plus there's only so many times a few teenagers can be attacked by vampires and survive it all unscathed.

[lopeanha]

I've read the first two books so far and really liked them. I already have the rest of the series on my shelf, waiting to be read.
