'We'd suggest dumping Stephenie Meyer's vapid Twilight books and replacing them with these' SFX Magazine
Product Description
Morganville. Texas. Just south of normal. In the college town of Morganville, vampires and humans coexist in (relatively) bloodless harmony. Then comes Bishop, a master vampire who threatens to abolish all order, revive the forces of the evil dead, and let chaos rule. But Bishop isn't the only threat. Violent black clouds promise a storm of devastating proportions. As student Claire Danvers and her friends prepare to defend Morganville against the elements - both natural and unnatural - the unexpected happens: Morganville's vampires begin to vanish one by one. Discovering why leads Claire to one last choice: swear allegiance to Bishop...or die.

*SPOILERS ALERT - i dont tell you the end or anything specific but i dont want people complaining, there is light mention of the charcters*
After reading the first four novels in this series I was practially vibrating with excitement about reading this next one.
Some advice before I start this review - if you havent read the first four novels in this series (which are really good reads) you won't understand a damn thing that happens in book 5 so rewind and go take a look at 'Glass Houses'.
There where ups and downs to the books in my oppinion, In the beginning we begin where we left off with Shane going off to the blood mobile, Eve going to 'Common Grounds', Michael heading off to the University and finally Claire tagging in with Amelie to save our lovley Myrinn.
You're thrown straight into action but i personally felt like all of the action was pretty anti-climatic. It seemed like they where going to do something amazing... but it didnt quiet happen and it was all solved quickly. We where also introduced to a new Charcter called 'Hannah' who is important for a couple of chapters but then is completley discarded and you dont know what the hell happened to her. The same with Granma Day - you think she's going to add something to the plot but.. she ends up arriving, making sandwiches... and disapearing. Oh, and the addition to a vampire family who flits into the story throughout but never really does anything.
I felt overall that this book was all a little to prolonged... it dragged a little. To be honest, it seems as though they just wanted us to buy another book so watered the plot out a tad. Everything that happens in the what, 300 page book? Could have happened in around a 100 pages maybe, but at the same time i love reading more and if you're one of those people who like reading little facts about the Morganville world then you'll probably be fine with it.
I myself did like the book was a little disapointed. It's not that NOTHING happened because there is a progression in the story but as i said... it all seemed a little anticlimatic. I read it in one sitting and i did enjoy reading the book. I can't wait to read the next one and once you've read this book if you go onto RACHEL CAINE'S WEBSITE you'll find a prolonged sneakpeek at the next book than you do in the back of this one. I think it's the first three chapters.
This book is basically a set up for the big bad BOOM that's going to happen in the next book, introducing charcters who will probably hold the solutions to the problems in the plot and come to some kind of use in the final show down.
Enjoy!

Format:Mass Market Paperback
The town of Morganville has seen better days since the return of Bishop, a master vampire who wants control of the town. His daughter, Amelie, isn't going to relinquish her power easily.
Now everyone's choosing sides and waiting for the battle to begin. Those who have chosen now have their battle assignments. Claire must find Myrnin, Shane must guard the blood bank, Michael protects the college students, and Eve needs to head back to the coffee shop and to Oliver.
In a fight this big, there's bound to be infighting and backstabbing. Soon the humans in town aren't sitting on the sidelines anymore. Those who were once protected can no longer count on the vampire alliance to protect them.
Claire and her friends are doing everything they can to save the town, but they seem to be the key to the fight. Are they about to be double-crossed themselves?
LORD OF MISRULE is the 5th book in the very popular THE MORGANVILLE VAMPIRES series. While vampire books are flooding the market, this series stands out because of its differences. The vampires in the series are not friendly, they are out for your blood and only something benefiting them will stop them from drinking.
Suspense and horror alongside of friendship and romance make this series perfect and unforgettable.

Below is a list of all of the books in order that are in the series so far
Glass House
The Dead Girls' Dance
Midnight Alley
Feast of Fools
Lord of Misrule
Carpe Corpus
Fade Out
Kiss of Death
Ghost Town
Let me just begin by saying that I am a huge fan of this series and If you haven't started reading it, do so right now. I read the complete thing (books 1-9) in less than a week. It was that addicting. Anyways, like the other books, Ghost Town was beautifully written and included all of the elements that I love about this series. There is tons of mystery, excitement, romance and humor.I have to admit, I was a bit skeptical going into book 9, I mean usually by this point, a series starts to go off the deep end. Honestly, how far can you take the same set of characters? And how exactly do you follow up a villian like Bishop? But somehow Caine managed to keep things going strong, by pulling out all the stops. Tell me what is more frightening than having everyone you know and love forget you? Claire is as feisty and determined as ever. She, once again, gets herself in an undesirable predicament. As a punishment, she is forced to fix the machine that wipes the memories of those who leave Morganville. Well, of course, something goes wrong and people (and vampires) start loosing their memories. Those who are infected are taken back mentally to three years ago. Let's just say that chaos ensues. Soon, Claire has no choice but to try and fix the machine and she is forced to make some unlikely alliances along the way. There is plenty of excitement within the book, just like you would come to expect from this series. There are also a number of twists throughout the plot, I don't want to give too much away, but they certainly keep you on your toes. All of your favorite characters are back and ready for action, Eve, Michael, Shane, Mrynin, Amelie and Oliver are all featured throughout the book. I think what makes this series so great is the relationships between the characters. Not only are there great romantic relationships, but there are also a number of awesome friendships. I love the fab four - Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael; I just think they mesh well together. They always have each others back and each one of them would put themselves on the line for the other three. The connection these characters have is really a focus in this book - especially when people start loosing their memories. Caine really does a beautiful job showing how they all sort of gravitate towards each other. All in all, Ghost Town was a great addition to the series. Everything that you love about this series continues in book 9, including the sarcasm, humor, excitement, danger, romance and superb storytelling. I'll say it again, if you haven't read this series yet, you really, really, need to. It is never to late to dive into a series, in fact I prefer it because you don't have to wait as long to see what happens next!
