Editorial Reviews

Kirkus Reviews
Absorbing suspense dominates this chick-lit vampire story. This 11th installment of the Morganville Vampires series doesn't require familiarity with the previous books for readers to figure out what's going on, and to find excellent suspense. Claire, the story's main protagonist, lives in the Glass House with her heartthrob Shane, her best friend, goth girl Eve, and vampire Michael (whom human Eve wants to marry). Humans and vampires share Morganville, with humans providing pints of blood for their more powerful neighbors. The town reacts against the proposed marriage, but all becomes moot when a far more powerful entity invades: the draug, sea-based enemies of the vampires. They decimate the vampire population, also attacking humans who get in their way. Claire finds herself caught in a limbo-like state as she tries to fight them, adding another layer of suspense to the already gripping tale. Caine puts her strong imagination to good use in devising semi-impossible scenarios for her characters to conquer, and she writes the major fight scene well. A few quirky characters and some humor flavor the story, such as Claire's highly eccentric scientist employer, vampire Myrnin, who apparently secretly loves her, as does the emotionally aware house the group lives in. Chick-lit staples come in the form of clothes, a bit of gossip and girl rivalry. A gripping, original take on vampires. (Paranormal adventure. 12 & up)

    a pulse pounding supernatural thriller

    Morganville is not a typical Texas town, but a social experiment to see whether humans and vampires can peacefully co-exist. The vampires stand at the top of the food chain; they make the rules that humans must obey. Four friends (humans Claire, Eve and Shane and the vampire Michael) room in Glass House. Eve and Michael are in love and want to marry, but their respective species violently oppose interspecies marriage.

    Taking a rest from the nuptial craziness, Claire and Shane meet a vampire from a nearby town with a letter addressed to Amelie the Founder and ruler of Morganville. Myron the mad vampire scientist takes it and tells them it says "run". At about the same time, Claire sees a strong male who is not vampire or human. An evil long standing enemy of Amelia and her species has arrived. This thing disguised as human can easily kill a vampire. The town's residents regardless of specie are in extreme danger as recently three vampires vanished without a trace after a visit from Magnus.

    The eleventh Morganville Vampires small town fantasy (see Ghost Town) is a pulse pounding supernatural thriller that keeps readers on the edge until the Last Breath expires. Courageous Claire has risked her life before against impossible odds, but this time the adversary seems too powerful, but though human she still tries to rescue vampires from the wrath of Magnus. Shane's perspective is narrower as he thrives to do what it takes to keep his risk-taking beloved Claire safe. Rachel Caine writes a wonderful young adult tale in which the heroes must choose fight or flight with either option most likely leading to death.

    Rivioting. A roller coaster of emotions. A must read for Morganville fans!!!

    Follow Claire, Shane, Michael, and Eve on the adventure of their lives. Bishop has nothing on the advasory in this book. I literally didn't want to put it down. If you're a fan of the Morganville series you have got to read this, the latest book in the series.

    UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!!!!!!

    I am in LOVE with the Morganville Vampires Series!I laughed, my heart broke, I got scared, & I was on the edge of my seat! I have bought every single book. I started the first one not even knowing it was a series and after finishing the first book in a day in a half I didn't want to stop! I bought all the books the next day and finished the whole series in 2 weeks! I am obsessed and recommend it to everyone! I already pre-ordered Last Breath and can not WAIT to get it in the mail! I hope this series continues forever! I would buy every single book! Way to go Rachel Caine!

    So Excited About This Book!!!

    I absolutely love this series! Somehow Rachel Caine always manages to knock me off my feet with her writing. I can not wait for this book to come out and I hope that it is just as good or maybe even better than her previous books!(Although they are all really really good!) Love Rachel Caine. Love her work.

    Holy sh*t......im in love

    Ok well in this book we see the character's different point of views. Here it is just like bite club... you just want to read and finish this. Caine made a wonderful series and i love her for this. Ive been reading this series since 6th grade and i reread this series more than other books i have in my nook library.

    In this book, claire sees "something" that is not a vampire or human. Only shes sees this and had been seeing this thing for a while and thought "oh its just someone new in town" now its not bishop... its worse than bishop.

    You HAVE to read this and im going to buy the last and final one right after i write this! If u havent read this or the series, something is wrong with you. Im a HUGEE fan of thisnseries and of ms.caine. thanks for writing this!

    I Also Recommend:

    one of my favorite series

    The Morganville Vampires is one of my favorite series that I hope will still have several more books to come. Rachel Caine has done one of the most important (and difficult) things...she has not made any of the books repetitive. I have found that some longer series start to get boring because the same things happen in every book. I think Last Breath is the best book (so far) in the series. So much happens in this book and I went through so many emotions. I loved the ending but I wasn't happy with it being a cliffhanger! I definitely can't wait for the next book to be released! Keep up the excellent work Ms. Caine!!!

    I read this book in 2 days...I love any books by Rachel Caine! The Morganville Series is one of my favorites! I would recommend this series to anyone who likes a good vampire book! If you haven't read any Rachel Caine books today is the day to start!!!

    Another Great One!

    I love this series! I have to admit I was freaked a bit with the whole Claire thing. And my heart broke for Shane and Myrnin. I hope the next one is just a good and the Eve and Michael get their happy ending.
