Nov 9, 2017 (Updated Nov 9, 2017)
This started off so well.
Lorrie back at college after her mum is murdered by her step dad and her dad kills himself, shes trying to get back to normal when in a freak accident she ends up falling into a frozen lake. Trapped under the ice she thinks she'll surely die until shes rescued by the handsome Hunter Jensen.
I was gripped, this sounded like a must read ... and then it fizzled out.
I don't have any idea what Lorrie looks like, I can't remember if the author has actually described her and far to much time was wasted messing around with a box of abandoned kittens. The chemistry was just fine between Hunter and Lorrie there was no need for the kittens.
It was a struggle not to abandon this book at 76% but if I had I'd never have found out about Hunter, which I'm pleased I stuck with it but sadly its just not going to make me buy book 2 :(

Sarah Betts (103 KP) rated Midnight Alley (The Morganville Vampires #3) in Books
Dec 30, 2019
Claire is still trying to survive her freshman year at TPU and adjusting to her relationship with Shane. Michael is dealing with the results of becoming a vampire, and Eve is trying to stay away from her psycho brother Jason.
This book is great. It moves at a rapid pace and introduce news characters and still keeps the momentum going.
Claire's relationship with Myrnin is fascinating, because Claire actually gets to use her skills and show how important she is to Morganville.
Amelie is still very much the Ice Queen and there is a group f wannabe vampire hunters led by a guy who calls himself Captain Obvious.
The switch from every day life in the Glass House to the conspiracies and double-crossings that make up the Morganville social elite are contrasted nicely.
This book is funny, scary, and tragic. More YA books should be this well-written. Write faster, Rachel Caine!

Great worldbuilding in a submerged future
The Vanishing Deep is set in a fascinating future world in which global warming melted the polar ice caps and The Great Waves submerged most of the planet. There is not much land left. The story is set on an island with an attached floating community called a reef. A facility called Palindromena is able to resurrect the drowned dead for 24 hours, after which they must die again. Tempest, is all alone in the world and decides to resurrect her sister who died two years ago, because she wants to find out more about their parents' death. In doing so, she meets Lor and Ray and things get complicated. This aquatic adventure is non-stop and the complex plot has many suspenseful twists and turns. The author is able to convey well the depth of emotion between the characters. A really well done YA sci-fi dystopian.
