The Blurb from Goodreads:The feast is over ... and the battle for Morganville has begun. Bishop's on one side, Amelie's on the other, and Claire's status as Amelie's most trusted human ally has just landed her on Morganville's Most Wanted list, along with all of her friends. As a bitter Texas storm bears down on the town, there's nowhere to hide ... from anything.

The Review: "In this whole screwed up town, you're the only thing that's always been right to me,' he whispered. "I love you, Claire." She saw something that might have just a flash of panic go across his expression, but then he steadied again. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but I do. I love you."

OMG! Did that ending really just happen?!! *Scream* Whoa. Talk about a serious amount of drama for a book. Rachel Caine clearly pulled it out of the bag again other wise I wouldn't have gasped at 11pm last night when I finished. Which brings me to the point of I'm so glad  I had Carpe Corpus right next to me, because, Christ knows how some of you managed to go without the next book after that little ditty at the end. Wow.

More action, more adventure, more love. Return of Frank Collins....blergh! Richard Morrell, suddenly becoming one of my favourite characters. SHANE finally saying 'I love you'! Michael! NOMISH! All the way through. 

Major WIN to Lord of Misrule. I'm so happy I've got all 11 so far, because I seriously can't get enough of this series. It's incredible. And the amazement just keeps coming.

My heart broke at the end with Myrnin, that was harsh, Caine. BUT as I said I'm reading Carpe Corpus (101 pages in) and now I get it. So I forgive you, Myrnin. I didn't think I would, but I do. Bishop is all kinds of nasty! I want to throw so many nasty words out there about him, but I'm going to refrain from doing so. You know...for the kids.

Even though there were some majorly slow bits in the book which had me leaning towards a 4 star rating, the ending to this one just picked it up to 5. There isn't much that can be said about these books separately. I thought it would be easy to review them as separate books, but I think I should have gone for an overall review for all 11. Ah, well. Never mind. Separate  reviews will do, they'll all be pretty much the same. 

Not much more I want to say or express about this one. It was awesome, and that ending is a killer. If you haven't read these books yet, make sure you have them all with you one after the other, you're going to need them!
