Fade out- by Rachel Caine

in a nut shell this book is really good maybe not as stunningly written as the others but still enjoyable. The reason its not quite as good as the others is that its a bit all pushed together in action, the a moment at the start whne Morely trys to attack amelie when she trys to end her days in the grave yeard beside Sam's grave. Morely then becomes a fixture as Ada the morganville computer turns evil and tries to kill claire and myrinn. That is a big past of the book but its slow when it finally happens its over to quick and its like what was all that about? great book though worth a read.

It all happens in this book, the tattoo that Mr Bishop put on Claire's arm seems to be fading which means he has less control. though he still seems to be able to pull the chain whenever he feels like it. In the background though Amelie, Oliver and Myrin are planning attack, they have to keep Clare out of the plan though unless Mr Bishop tries to make her tell him, Shane some how gets released from prison at the price his dad is turned into a vampire before him, following their escape Claire and shane take there relationship to the next level. Loads of things are mixed in to the mix including getting all the population at risk from Mr Bishop out of MorganVille. He doesn't like the happenings and calls a town meeting, one with deadly endings if it goes his way, thankfully it doesn't go his way and with a very lucky posioning unfortunately Sam dies but at least power is over turned back to Amelie, with the promise that Vampires and humans will live in equal power.

Its a great story I just love the way Rachel Caine creates tension
