Last Breath (Morganville Vampires, #11)

Well, Last Breath was certainly an improvement over the previous book! And it’s set over a super short time frame which is one of my favorite plot devices! As Eve and Michael are preparing for their engagement party, there’s some unrest within town. They don’t have the Founder’s permission to get married, humans are starting to band together against the vampires, and someone strange has just shown up at the town border. Once again, Claire is at the center of it, but she can’t save everyone this time.

Last Breath was so good! It really kept me on the edge of my seat as Claire and Friends go from one sticky situation to the next. I also thought the alternating POV actually worked this time given that most of the book is of the race against the clock nature. Everyone is running around doing something before it’s too late, and something is going on with our dear Claire. We also get into Amelie’s head to learn about this new threat in town: a second breed of vampire! I actually really loved this twist on vampirism. It’s unique and it makes an odd kind of sense.

I don’t want to give anything away about Last Breath, because it’s basically nonstop twists, turns, and surprises! That middle portion was especially intense, because I wasn’t sure which direction the author was going to take it! Really anything would have been possible! So, what’s next for our friend’s in Morganville after all of these changes?
