This, the tenth book in The Morganville Vampires series,
packs just as much of a punch -literally- as the first one.
A great story for any reader, those familiar with at least
the first work in the series may have an easier time
following the plot, but Caine provides excellent exposition
to fill in new readers.
Claire would like to just continue her life, a life that
consists of living in an almost-living house with her
laid-back boyfriend, a goth barista, and a
ghost-turned-vampire. However, tensions run high as Claire's
boyfriend, Shane, has an increasingly difficult time keeping
his anti-vampire prejudices under control, Claire is
threatened by the campuses "mean girls," and supposedly dead
and gone---or at least gone---bad guys return to the town to
wreak havoc.
Excellently written, BITE CLUB not only demonstrates what
might happen in a human-vs-vampire competitive fighting
scenario, it also continues to document the alienation one
feels when life just keeps throwing one surprise after another.
Morganville, Texas is a quiet college town where humans
and vampires live in relative peace. But lately a great
deal of blood is being spilled - not in a feeding frenzy,
but for someone's twisted idea of entertainment. After
discovering that vampires populate Morganville - and
surviving a number of adventures with her new night-
dwelling friends - college student Claire Danvers has come
to realise that for the most part, the undead just want to
live their lives. But someone else wants them to get ready
to rumble.
There's a new extreme sport being broadcast over the
Internet: bare-knuckle fights pitting captured vampires
against one another - or, worse, against humans. Tracking
the out-of-town signal leads Claire - accompanied by a
loyal group of friends and frenemies - to discover that
what started as an online brawl will soon threaten
everyone in Morganville. And if they want to survive,
they'll have to do a lot more than fight...
