I was excited for this novel. I bought it on the day it came out from Borders because it was not available on Amazon for my Kindle at the time. I really wanted to read more from the gang and especially from Myrnin, my favorite character. I would not say Morganville Vampires is my favorite series, but I really enjoy reading the adventures of Claire and the gang.  I thought this book was a light read, but very disappointing for me.

The novel seemed to encompass several different plot twists that left me bewildered as to where this story was heading. The novel went from all the things that could possibly go wrong on a supernatural road trip, to encountering past enemies, to discovering a small town on the brink of extinction.  I felt like this novel had no line connecting one twist to another. The shifts were very rapid and random. I had a hard time keeping up.

While I did enjoy some of the twists, the beginning of the road trip was just slightly irritating. Eve got on my nerves a lot in this novel. I really missed my favorite character Myrnin. He did not make a big appearance in this novel. I missed his humor and edginess. You just never know what you are going to get with Myrnin and I missed that.

Will I read the next book? Hells yeah I will! I am hoping for more from Myrnin. I do not know where the novels will be going from this point though. The blurb sounds really interesting and it looks like Myrnin will play a big role.
