Midnight Alley, by Rachel Caine.

Midnight Alley, by Rachel Caine.

Morganville is such a nice place to live... And die. If you don’t mind that sort of thing.

When Claire Danvers learnt that her college town was run by vampires, she did what any intelligent, self-preserving student would do: she applied for a transfer and stocked up on garlic. The transfer is no longer an option, but that garlic may come in handy.
Now Claire has pledged herself to Amelie, the most powerful vampire in town. The protection her contract secures does little to reassure her friends. All of a sudden, people are turning up dead, a stalker resurfaces from Claire’s past, and an ancient bloodsucker extends a chilling invitation for private lessons in his secluded home 

Alot of other reviews i have read said this novel was slow and didnt really keep the pace of the others. I think that this book was needed and i is setting the pace of the rest of the novel and series. I loved the suspense Caine kept over the Alley and to be honest i am glad that this came to be and i cant wait to see where this turn of events leads us. I love the idea of the portals that Amelie uses. The Day's kind of seam a little bit random in the novel. I kind of think that Claires' age is used as an excuse to much, this character annoys me to no end but you would think by now all the times she as proved her self to be good allies and not a liability they would cut her a little bit of slack. Vampire Michael annoys me, he needs to get over himself a little bit, Shane annoys me too but i guess he is pretty bad ass for a human.

I love Amelie i think Caine should bring out a series of her life before morganville, it would be pretty bad ass.
here is my review of book three in the morganville vampires series.
