Series: The Morganville Vampires (Book 3)

Synopsis: Claire Danvers's college town may be run by vampires but a truce between the living and the dead made things relatively safe. For a while. Now people are turning up dead, a psycho is stalking her, and an ancient bloodsucker has proposed private mentoring. To what end, Claire will find out. And it's giving night school a whole new meaning.

Review: Claire has made a huge commitment in order to protect her friends, but in doing so she has just put herself in much more danger. Amelia orders Claire to start mentoring under a very old and slightly crazy vampire, in order to learn some ancient things that cannot be lost. Added to that, there's a crazy human psycho stalking her too. So as things spin out of control for Claire, it's all she can do to keep herself alive...

This is the book where you find out the big secret behind Morganville, and you meet Myrnin the eccentric crazy old vampire. He is a hilarious if not slightly scary character, but a great addition to the series. I really enjoyed finding out about the secrets behind Morganville and all that Amelie is trying to hide, it's certainly one of the more original storylines that I've come across lately. I'm loving the characters more and more as the books go on, even the 'evil' characters are really well written and easy to get attached too. I also really love the way Claire, Michael, Eve and Shane all fit together as housemates and friends, all protecting each other. I'm so glad I found this series, they are great books, with fantastic characters and great plot lines that keep me gripped.
