Book Banter -- Lord of Misrule



Title: Lord of Misrule (Morganville Vampires, bk, 5)

Author: Rachel Caine

Length: 247 pages

Genre: YA paranormal

Plot Basics: Claire Danvers and friends are up to their elbows in an all-out vampire war between Amelie, the Founder of Morganville and her father, Bishop, a particularly nasty vampire. Humans and vamps are taking sides and getting into position for this showdown. One the first night of fighting, Amelie disappears, leaving Claire and Co. to figure out how to deal with Bishop and avoid his traps on their own.

Banter Points: Caine's world of vampires is a good one... it's nice that the vamps are still the bad guys and the so-called good vamps could turn at any time.

Bummer Points: This book was sort of a set-up book for the next one. It wasn't until the last 50 pages that Word Nerd was eager to find out what happened. It was still a good book, but it didn't hit the caliber of the other Morganville books.

Word Nerd Recommendation: Fans of Twilight really should check this out and see how cool other vampires stories are.
