Claire Danvers’ gradual descent into the world of the vampires who utterly control the small Texas town of Morganville continues, as Amelie, the most powerful vampire in town, reveals her plans for Claire. Now Claire has to juggle friendships and loyalties, apprenticed to an insane vampire scholar and facing death from all directions. Worse still, an anti-vampire cabal is looking to use – or kill – her, believing that she holds the key to either saving, or destroying the vampire race. The plot thickens, the mysteries deepen, and the danger becomes more intense as the series gets better with each book. Caine is definitely on a roll with the Morganville Vampires, and Midnight Alley is the best yet.
