Dead Girls' Dance by Rachel Caine

Summary:

The second book in the Morganville Vampires series "Dead Girls' Dance" leaves off exactly where "Glass Houses"ends. Claire Danvers a super smart sixteen year old who is going to college in Morganville and her roommates, Michael who is a ghost by day and human by night, Shane the hunky unemployed protector, and Eve the vampire hating goth. They all find themselves in the middle of a human-vampire war involving Shane's father Frank Collins and the vampire community including Eve's ex-boss Oliver and the reigning vampire queen Amelie. Will Shane get pulled into his Father's revenge war or will he be set free by his roommates Eve, Clarie, and Michael?

My Opinion:

I really enjoyed the first book of this series "Glass houses" and was excited to read the sequel, but unfortunately I was disappointed with "Dead Girls' Dance". I felt the plot never went anywhere and a couple of times I thought to myself "where is the story going?". For most of the novel I felt like Caine could have summed it up in a few chapters than dragging the story out to 200+ pages. I felt the book could have been saved if there was a little more action, I enjoyed the last 50 pages because finally the plot thickened and Caine had me on the edge of my seat. But again this didn't happen until the last 50 pages. Overall "Dead Girls' Dance" was unorganized and boring, missing its action and vampire mayhem until the last few pages. I am not sure if I will read the third installment "Midnight Alley" of the Morganville Vampires series, maybe if my pile of books to read decreases!
