Power hungry vampires and humans under lockdown! What's next? You have to read Carpe Corpus to find out.
This series is action-packed, no doubt. Rachel Caine knows how to draw the reader in and hold him or her firmly in the seat. I was hooked from page one.
As the story progresses from the previous installment, Claire, the main heroine comes into her own. She wants to see her boyfriend, restore order to town, and be a normal seventeen year old. Sounds daunting? It is. But I couldn't put the book down. I liked the idea that Claire's working for the other side--with the bad guy--in order to help keep the fragile peace. For teens, she's a great role model.
But I have to admit, the secondary characters, the other inhabitants of the Glass House, really made the story come to life for me. The interplay between Amelie and her father The Bishop. I could relate to the power struggle between father and daughter. In this case, The Bishop is truly on the side of evil, but I could see how he could be interpreted as a puppet master.
Again, there is the typical young adult angst and plot twists to make this book a joy to read and made me want the next installment (and the rest of the series for that matter) right now!
If you want a great book for a summer afternoon, then you need to read Carpe Corpus. I give this novel 4 suns.
Get more detail about Carpe Corpus (Morganville Vampires, Book 6).
