Waiting On Wednesday: “Daylighters” by Rachel Caine

 

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted at Breaking The Spine, that shines a spotlight on upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.
 

If you’re a ‘Morganville Vampires Series’ fan, you will be itching to read my Waiting On Wednesday post this week…

 

 
 
 

While Morganville, Texas, is often a troubled town, Claire Danvers and her friends are looking forward to coming home. But the Morganville they return to isn’t the one they know; it’s become a different place—a deadly one… Something drastic has happened in Morganville while Claire and her friends were away. The town looks cleaner and happier than they’ve ever seen it before, but when their incoming group is arrested and separated—vampires from humans—they realize that the changes definitely aren’t for the better.

It seems that an organization called the Daylight Foundation has offered the population of Morganville something they’ve never had: hope of a vampire-free future. And while it sounds like salvation—even for the vampires themselves—the truth is far more sinister and deadly.

Now, Claire, Shane and Eve need to find a way to break their friends out of Daylighter custody, before the vampires of Morganville meet their untimely end…

 

 

 

Expected publication: November 5th 2013

 

I am literally the biggest Rachel Caine fan. I am dying to read Daylighters, and need my Morgaville fix! I read the previous companion to this; Fall Of Night, a while ago, and just can’t wait to see how the series will come to an end, which is bittersweet… :’)

Book Review: “Fall Of Night” by Rachel Caine {with thanks to Allison & Busby}

The penultimate book in the bestselling series from the amazingly talented YA Writer; Rachel Caine, comes “Fall Of Night”, the must-read and eagerly anticipated novel…

A little bit about “Fall of Night”…
Claire never thought she’d leave Morganville, but when she gets accepted into the graduate program at MIT, she can’t pass up the opportunity. Saying good-bye to her friends is bittersweet, especially since things are still raw and unsettled between Claire and her boyfriend, Shane.

Her new life at MIT is scary and exciting, but Morganville is never really far from Claire’s mind. Enrolled in a special advanced study program with Professor Irene Anderson, a former Morganville native, Claire is able to work on her machine, which is designed to cancel the mental abilities of vampires. But when she begins testing her machine on live subjects, things quickly spiral out of control, and Claire starts to wonder whether leaving Morganville was the last mistake she’ll ever make…

My Review:


 

Everyone knows how much I love a good Morganville Story. Rachel Caine is a true idol when it comes to writing about Vampires; she makes it believable, yet all that magical at the same time. “Fall of Night” is one of those books that just blinds you from everything else in the world while you’re reading; it captures your attention, demanding to be read. The penultimate novel sees Claire prepare to leave Morganville *shocked* but she was always very headstrong and academic, as every Morganville Fan knows, so passing up an opportunity to have a graduate course at MIT was never an option for Miss Danvers.

Saying goodbye to her boyfriend; Shane, would be painful for her *and the readers?!* also saying goodbye to her friends would be hard too, because there is always that thought that the dynamic that made them survive was having each other, and if Claire leaves, what would that do to them? Of course, how would they survive without the witty, feisty and fiery Claire?–but leaving wasn’t all it cracked up to be. Claire actually fears it could be her last mistake at one point.
The changes in POV were spot-on in Fall Of Night. I actually loved the more mature feel to this book, and felt more connected to other characters, although not being in Morganville was so weird! And of course, you’d think now that Claire is away from the Vampires and strange town activities, maybe her life would be more…normal? Ah, think again! This book took me on an incredible roller coaster of a ride, and the ending! Wow, I did not expect that at all! Ms. Caine surprises and enthrals me into another passionate, action-filled world that was beyond amazing. I would say I am *patiently* waiting for book 15, the last Morganville book *sobs* but that would be lying…I am counting the days until I can read it!
Another five stars (I would give it 6 if I could!) from me for another phenomenal novel from Rachel Caine!

Why I Love Twitter { I’m getting a Signed Rachel Caine book?!}

Twitter isn’t just for social networking with friends; it’s actually amazing for bloggers…especially when you get to talk to your favourite author…

So, yay! I just pre-ordered my signed Rachel Caine copy of “Fall of Night”, the penultimate book before *wait for it…* the end of the Morganville Series 🙁
Fall of Night sees Claire wondering if she’d ever leave Morganville; let alone get out alive. But going her own way has never been smooth as she finds out that leaving Morganville could be the last mistake she’ll ever make.
Sounds sooo exciting!! I can’t wait to read…and of course review the series that I love so much. Morganville has been with me for a few years now, each character growing on me until I knew this series would be my favourite YA of all time; even a good contender with some adult series out there.
But wait…you, yes, you…can read Fall of Night too! It’s out in stores TODAY, so go and get it! If you haven’t started the series, you will surely love getting to know the characters and the world of Morganville too.

happy reading & happy may!
