OMG I love The Morganville Vampires series. I finished the whole series in just five which was way to fast!!!! I can't wait till Fade Out's in stores!!!!
By God Rachel Caine you have done it again! Carpe Corpus leaves me wanting MORE!!! It was absolutely amazing! Book six is officially my favorite book!! I cannot wait for the next book and I'm dreading the day you say there will be no more Morganville Vampire series books.
I finished the book in two days and that was a stretch. I would have finished it the first day I got it but I tried to savor it and save some for later. Sadly I finished it tooooo soooon!!
