 4 Stars for Carpe Corpus By: Rachel Caine March 8, 2010
Carpe Corpus begins soon after Lord of Misrule ends. Claire's stuck in the middle and forced to work on the wrong side, Bishop's side. Amelie has vanished, thanks to Myrnin, who just happens to be sitting pretty right next to.... you guessed it, Bishop. Michael was forced to stand at, yep... right again Bishop's side. Eve's pretty upset with everyone, including Claire and Shane's stuck in jail with his dear old dad. Did I paint you a pretty picture yet?
If you thought living in and with a town run by vampires couldn't get any worse, well you're wrong there. Things are about to bubble over for everyone. Caine continue to work her magic in this new installment. She's good at leaving me guessing as to what's lurking around the next page.
One highlight was the introduction of Ada. At first I thought, oh right, yeah come on already! However, since I really do enjoy this series I kept reading and found that her character was kind of a creepy perfection that fit right in with, well everyone and everything. I mean why not have... wait, I won't tell you just who or what she is. I don't want to ruin it for anyone who's yet to read.
It was nice to see all the characters growing and changing. The new trials Claire and her friends - human and vampire will face. Oh, let's not forget we get to see the true Myrnin, who gets cured in this book. I'm looking forward to seeing more of him in the future.
The book ends on a happy note. No cliffhangers like in previous books. I for one don't think things will stay too cheery for to long, I mean we are talking about Morganville.
I have the next book - Fade Out ready to read, and then Kiss of Death on order. If you're new to this series, be sure to start at the beginning - Glass Houses. Enjoy! (...)
Carpe Corpus February 2, 2010
It was an excellent read. i was caught up in the world of Morganville. it's about a 16 year girl, Claire Danvers who moves to Morganville, Texas to go to school. there she meets her new friends Michael, Eve, and Shane. then she finds out that once you enter morganville, you never leave. the city is run by vampires who live among humans, who have to obey certain rules. the story keeps you on edge and is really enjoyable...
Claire's In Danger Again! January 23, 2010
Carpe Corpus begins with all the members of the glass house, Claire, Shane, Michael, and Eve all separated. Claire is living with her parents, and working under the control of Bishop. Shane is currently locked in a vampire prison with his father. Michael is under Bishops control, and Eve is out in Morganville alone. Amelie is back (the song, The Bitch is Back comes to mind), and things aren't what they seem in Morganville. While Bishop thinks that he has Myrnin and Michael under his thrall, he's unaware that they are only pretending. Claire is relieved to find out that Amelie has a plan, and that involves finally taking Bishop down and regaining her rightful place as town founder/ruler.
I really love these books. They are so quick and easy to read, but that doesn't mean they are dumbed down for the reader. Poor Claire is in this never-ending cycle of drama. I don't care to see the series end, but I fear for her health and life! Like normal 17 year olds, Claire just wants to do normal teenager things and be with her boyfriend Shane on her birthday. That's impossible with him under lock in key by Bishop, and her running around dropping off death warrants for her new master. Speaking of Bishop, man he is evil! I thought Shane's father was awful, but Bishop sure gives him a run for his money.
It's nice to know that in book 7 Amelie will be back in control and working to right what Bishop has done wrong in Morganville. I'm not really liking Claire's parents living in Morganville, but I understand that it's necessary to have them present in her life. The thing I love about this series is there are the young adults and then there are adults in the town. They all have their story, and they all play their part. It's nice to have adult (no matter how evil or crazy) presence in a young adult story.
If you enjoy vampires and young adult this is definitely the series for you. The town of Morganville is so unique, and it's not just a love story. There's a lot more action and mystery in these books.
Love these books! January 16, 2010
I REALLY got sucked into this series and have read 6 of them in a few days. I can't wait until May for the next installment.
Team Human! January 3, 2010
With Claire and Michael both being forced to do Bishop's beckoning, Shame being locked up, and Eve...poor, poor Eve was left in the dust. I was pretty nervous for my favorite characters and what would happen between their relationships with so much going on. If you've read the series so far (which I hope you have because if you haven't started with Book One you shouldn't be reading this review) you can tell how the characters have grown. Every time there a scene between Shane and Claire came up, I got giggly. I think my character crush on Shane will never die. He is perfect in his Shane way.
One thing I can always trust with Rachel Caine's writing is that she keeps me on my toes. There are people/vampires in this series you trust one minute and the next you're going, wait what?! But with all the good guys and villians, there is one character in this series that drives me insane. I use to love to hate her, but now I just want her gone. I know it's good to have a mean girl villain, but Monica Morrell drives me insane! Every time she pops up in the story, I just want someone to knock her out.
Whatever complaints I had with the last installment, Carpe Corpus made up for it! It had the perfect twists and best ending. Besides Glass Houses, this is my new favorite installment out of the series. I cannot wait to read Fade Out and luckily for me, it comes out next month :)
