I enjoyed carpe corpus a lot more than the previous book in the morganville series’s. Caine really stuck to the plot this time and there was so many twists I didn’t see coming.

I am always exhausted while reading this series, but it's well worth the debilitation.
Claire is always trying to do the right thing while being young, uber intelligent, in love and living in a town of vampires. Shane is in vampire jail, Michael is working for the bad guy, Eve hates her and her vampire mentor, Myrnin, is on the edge of madness. She's got to do what it takes to make things better if possible, if the good guys will let her help.
This is one of my favorite series. And now this one is my favorite of the series. Each one has that 'honor' as I read it and each next one has the possibility.
Highly recommedable to anyone who enjoys a well written story, vampire or otherwise.
Five Texas vampires aren't all bad (and not all good) beans.....

I loved the other five books that Rachel Caine has written with the Morganville vampires and I wanted to read more, so I bought and read this one. It is a brilliant book with the right amount of events to keep the reader interested with Claire being avoided by the rest of the town to a fight between Bishop and the other vamps that are following him. I can't wait to read the other books in the series though.

The laws as Morganville knows it has been rewritten when evil vampire lord Mr. Bishop takes over. Claire finds herself on the wrong side against her will, but she knows that even that won't keep her alive with Mr. Bishop. An underground resistance is about to make its move, and this could break it or make it for the residence of Morganville-- because what Mr. Bishop has planned could doom them all.
Personal Take: I've been having a love streak with this series so far, but alas, the honeymoon phase is over (temporarily?). Not to say that I didn't enjoy the book.

This is the first in in the series to not start where the last one left off which was different. And then has a four weeks later break in it.
Claire also mentions Ada at near the start of the book but later doesn’t know who she is?
I feel this wasn’t as good as the other in the series. I’m not sure why but yeah.

Morganville is back in the rightful hands of Amelie, and humans have more rights.
I love this series, beautifully written, well rounded characters and an amazing world to get lost in.

Starting off, a few months after Lord of Misrule, it is clear to see that there has been a lot of changes to the town of Morganville. Mr. Bishop has really set his claws into the town and things are not looking pretty.
On starting this book I was so worried for Claire and her friends. They all seemed separated and detached from one another, not only physically but also emotionally. The tension throughout the book was kept tight and I found myself sitting on the edge of my seat as I read.
Michael surprised me a lot during the book. He has always been the strong, steady, silent type. always dependable and solid as a rock. It was clear throughout this book, that sometimes he despised just how calm and rational he was. I got the impression that Micheal sometimes wishes he was more like Shane, who acted out his emotions, rather then rationally thought things through.
Myrnin was a character who constantly surprises and fascinates me. He is so unpredictable and yet, to me, that makes him all the more fun to read about. Throughout the series he has slowly become one of my favourite characters, reminding me of an old eccentric uncle. You never know, just quite what he is thinking and yet, dangerous or not, you just have to find out.
The relationship between Clare and Shane, like always, had me swooning. This is one character pairing I am so happy about (although I still wouldn’t mind Shane for myself). I have been enjoying the pace in which their relationship has grown. I find it hasn’t been rushed or dragged out in a long and angst ridden period of time.
Rachel Caine’s ability to write a paranormal series, that is filled with many realistic human qualities, is simply incredible. I love how easy it is to relate to the characters and their emotional issues. From Claire’s hears and insecurities, to Eve’s sassy-ness, I really feel connected to the characters within this book.
Finally I was so excited to read a cute short story at the end of my edition of this book. It was a cute little novella based around Shane. It was great to see things from his point of view, even if it was just for a cute short story. If you haven’t see it, you should defiantly try and get your hands on it.
5 out of 5 for Carpe Corpus. The 6th book in the Morganville series, but without a doubt, just as great as book 1!
