Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine

   So this girl Clare Danvers is super smart. She’s the kind of smart where if she were evil, we'd all be in some serious trouble. So naturally she graduated high school earlier than most. Of course she wanted to go to college ASAP, but her mother and father wanted her to stay close to home. Big mistake there. Sadly, close to home means going to a small university in teeny-tiny Morganville Texas where evil creatures rule, and I don't mean Monica Morell and her evil killer posse, but vampires. Yes, that’s right folks, another vamp story. But before you jump to conclusions, 'The Morganville Vampires' is definitely not your normal vamp story. 

   After being forced to find a place off campus to live, Claire is off in town to find a nice place to live. Her new roommates are fantastic and have her back against anything that goes bump in the night. The catch is, one of her roommates has a dirty little secret as bad as the town's. 

   It’s an epic book for anyone who can stomach mystery, suspense, horror, romance, and pure awesomeness all wrapped up in one. Read Rachel Caine's 'Morganville Vampires' and tell me what you think.


The Name of the Star

     Holy cheese-nuggets, that was the craziest/creepiest book I have ever read in life. Okay for the record, I'm not easily scared, especially in books. Maureen Johnson's 'The Name of the Star' had me want to keep all the lights on and check under everything before going to bed. I mean, it probably didn't help the fact that I had all the lights off, sitting in my closet reading, but... whatever.                          

     So not only do you the struggle of living in a new place, but you also have a murder on the loose mimicking the Jack the Ripper murders all the way back from 1888.Just like all that long time ago, no one can solve the mystery of who's killing these people. The crazy part is, there are cameras everywhere and the police know where and when these murders will take place. To make the welcome wagon even better for Rory Deveaux (currently from Louisiana, now living in London, England) has spotted the murderer. Who by the way, knows she saw him. The bad thing about that is it’s like she's crying wolf because she's the only one who can see him. 

    
     This book was unbelievable. If you're into chilling, edge of your seat, I'll be late to school/work if I don't put this thing down mysteries this one is for you. I'd give this book 8 out of 5 stars just on the fact alone, Ill still have goose bumps. What more could anyone ask for?
