Last Breath YA (Morganville Vampire #11) by Rachel Caine

Last Breath is the 11th book in the Morganville Vampire series. Lots has happened since the initial Glass House. Claire and Shane are in a relationship and have been through hell and back. Michael, who is now a vampire, and Eve are engaged to be married. Needless to say, that does not set well with either the humans or the vampires of Morganville.

With this book, the reason Morganville was selected is revealed. It’s in the middle of the arid Texas desert, where sunlight is plentiful and where the one true enemy of the vampires can’t reach them, until now. The Draug, who are fueled by water. Strange things start happening in Morganville and vampires start coming up missing. Of course, Claire is noticing something is not right. When she meets Magnus, a new guy in town, she knows down to her toes that she’s right. Something is wrong. And it takes her a little bit to convince others that things aren’t as they appear. Claire, by the time this book is written, is clearly in Amelie’s court. Amelie is the Founder of Morganville and Claire has her ear. However, in this book, Claire begins to wonder just how safe she is, and how safe she can keep her friends.

To say that I loved this book would be a huge understatement. When everyone realizes who and what has arrived in Morganville, all hell breaks loose. Amelie herself is terrified and we’ve never seen that in previous books. When she figures out what is going on, she simply says, “run”. Amelie makes truces, in order to try and save everyone, with those who would want to seize her power. When Michael is one of the ones who ends up missing, Claire and her posse to the rescue!! While reading the scenes where they find Michael and try to save him and others, I literally was holding my breath. A lot happens in this book. Main characters are injured, some physically and/or mentally. And this book just reiterates that Myrnin totally rocks!!!

There was so much left hanging at the end of this book. Who’s in charge? Who’s really dead? Will the Draug still be around?? New alliances formed? Relationships damaged? Hands down, this is my favorite book of the series so far and I can’t wait for the release of Black Dawn on May 1st. It is one of those books that I’ll be downloading on my Kindle at 5:00 a.m. on release day!!!!

Well done Rachel!!!

  2. Another fabulous review, Vickie. This one is even better then the first one. but since this was the latest before her new one, you can tell how much you love this series. As I said, I have to move Morganville Vampires to the top of my TBR list.

    sigh..though i still have many books still sitting on my kindle.

  3. Great job Vickie, I have read some of these books out of order! Yes, I know, bad practice! Do you like this series or Vampire Academy more…….? I can’t choose, they are both GREAT series!!!

    • Oh Jules…………….. I can’t choose either!! I love love love them both. They are, imo, very different. Have you read Bloodlines??? It was very good. Can’t wait for Golden Lily!! I need my Adrian fix!!! (yes, you can callme a cougar!! LOL!!)

  5. I think I read the first few books in this series and then lost track of them. I sounds vaguely familiar. I think you would have to start at the beginning to appreciate this book, as it sounds like there are many established characters in it. Good review.
