Book Review: Last Breath (Morganville Vampires Series)

Author: Rachel Caine

This book starts slowly, with Claire Danvers doing her normal routine in Morganville, Texas. However, one day when she was out with Shane (boyfriend) and Myrnin (crazy lab boss and vampire), Myrnin receives a letter meant for Amelie (Founder of Morganville) that was written "RUN". Myrnin immediately bolts off, determined to reach Amelie as soon as possible. Claire and Shane, with questions unanswered, started feeling that something wasn't right. It was then, things got horribly wrong.

Amelie starts to get the feeling that this was the end of her experiment and doesn't do anything. However, Claire and her friends - Shane, Eve and Michael have got something else in mind. They are determined to fight back whatever is destroying their town. But whatever this thing is, it is neither human nor vampire. And it is very dangerous.

The book ends with a lot of fighting and action as it always has been. However it ends in a bitter-sweet moment, intending there will be another book next. This is probably the best book of the whole series yet as there is just the right amount of tension, suspense, romance and action.


The world was gone, but there was something holding her. It felt like a rope, a thin, invisible rope; she bobbed against it like a balloon on a string, lost in a night sky. I’m dead. The thought came to her, but she didn’t really know what that meant anymore. If you were dead, you shouldn’t know you were dead. You just were, or were not, like Schröding-er’s cat. I’m the cat in the box, with poison. The cat might be alive. The cat might be dead. You can’t tell until you open the box. Indeterminacy.

Author's Note: It would be better if you read the previous ten books first before reading this so everything would be clear. The next book is called "Black Dawn" and it is scheduled May next year. So hold onto your seats! Thank you for stopping by my blog.
