Have you been following the Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine ? Ready for Book #10 - Bite Club ?

Review: Bite Club - Book #10 Morganville Vampires Series - Rachel Caine- May 2011
Are you ready to rumble Vampire/Mortal way ? Wanting to experience a Morganville Vampire novel written differently to the rest of the series?
Bite Club by Rachel Caine is Book #10 of the Morganville Vampires series and starts off quite innocently with Claire sorting the Glass House's mail into piles - Michael's, Shane's , Eve's, Her's and Junk, when Shane arrives downstairs and picks up a flier - there's a new gym opening up and teaching Self Defence and Martial Arts. Shane whose always been a bit of a fighter goes along , but trouble is sure to follow as strange going-ons have been happening around town , Vampires are being killed and there blood is being used as a powerful drug and weapon. It is discovered also that Bishop has escaped and is on the loose . Is Bishop behind all the current weirder than usual going -ons in Morganville ? It seems that the Gym is recruiting fighters to create as an Army for Bishop and then making money off them by casting them as pay-per-fight games , the fighters are being fed Vampire Blood to get up their strength , think "V" on True Blood and you have the gist of the participants of Bite Club. As the novel carries on we see as Shane has become consumed with fighting Vampires and it soon takes over his life, completely transforming him into a stranger - a guy that has no care for his friends and girlfriend. Can Claire save him before it's too late or when she receives the opportunity of a lifetime to leave Morganville and attend her dream school MIT , will she accept and leave this life behind with all the sorrow and heartbreak ?
What is different about this book than the remainder 9 in the series is that it includes the story from Shane's POV which gives the story a stronger substance as we may have just seen it as Claire's Heartbreak and Shane's coldness .Normally , I'm not one for flipping POV's but Rachel Caine has written it in a way that the novel has flown perfectly and complete.
As I come to the end of Bite Club, I'm with mixed emotions as I have finished the book and can't wait for Last Breath but it also symbolises that I am nearing the end of a series. Bite Club is for all those who have read and are continuing their way through the Morganville Vampire Series.

Review: Steel Princess - Rina Kent

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
