"In the small college town of Morganville, vampires and humans lived in (relative) peace until all the rules got rewritten when the evil vampire Bishop arrived, looking for the lost book of vampire secrets. He's kept a death grip on the town ever since. Now an underground resistance is brewing, and in order to contain it, Bishop must go to even greater lengths. He vows to obliterate the town and all its inhabitants the living and 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?"--Publishers description.

For the first time in this series, there wasn’t a major cliffhanger. I feel like I can finally take a breath. Life in Morganville is rough in the aftermath of the events from Lord of Misrule. Claire has been claimed by the bad guys, and is forced to work as their pawn. Obviously, this puts her at odds with her friends. The vampires who kept the city together and things humane are gone, and it’s open season on humans who don’t do what the remaining vampires demand. And sometimes, it’s open season on those who have tried as hard as they could to follow all of the new rules. 

One thing that bothers me about this series is, even though there’s a lot of bloodshed and build up to fights, most of the fights don’t happen and very few people die. That usually is a good thing, not a bad one, but in a series like this it feels too unlikely. In this book, there was indeed a character death, but the character wasn’t one of the major players. The death was a big deal, it was, but the survival of everyone else just felt very unrealistic. 

But other than that, the book was fun. There were some surprising twists. I’m thankful that there was an ending that didn’t leave me hanging, so that I can take a short break. I never read this many books of the same series in a row unless it’s Harry Potter, which speaks to the addictive quality of Caine’s series. But this much nonstop action merits a break!

I have to say, Myrnin was most defiantly my favourite character in this book! This sixth book picked up right after the ending in fifth-- Bishops in control and Claire and Michael are basically his ** SORRY FOR LANGUAGE** bitches. Its true, and it pisses me off and want to go into the book myself and kill Bishop myself! On a lighter note, Myrnin was amazing as usual, I even liked the little drama with his old "friend" ;) Ada. Well, maybe not a 'little' drama, but nonetheless, it was different and refreshing then the other drama with Bishop, which just made me want to punch a wall. This book kind of made me proud of the Morganville residents, the humans and vampires, yes AND the vampires sort of .. team up? to stop Bishop. READ READ READ, if you have read all the books, just read this one because this one cannot be missed!

Another great addition! I'm not going to say anymore because if you've come this far into the series, you already know how great it is.

I really don't know why I'm doing this to myself... The only good thing about these books is that they make me fall asleep fast.
