Something
drastic has happened in Morganville while Claire Danvers and her friends were
away. The town looks cleaner and happier than they’ve ever seen it before, but
when their incoming group is arrested and separated – vampires from humans 0
they realise that the changes definitely aren’t for the better.
It
seems that an organisation called the Daylight Foundation has offered the
population of Morganville something they’ve never had: hope of a vampire-free
future. And while it sounds like salvation – even for the vampires themselves –
the truth is far more sinister and deadly.
Now,
Claire, Shane and Eve need to find a way to break their friends out of
Daylighter custody, before the vampires of Morganville meet their untimely
end...
The
heart-stopping finale to the number one bestselling series.
The fifteenth and final book in
the epic Morganville Vampires series
has finally arrived. I wanted it to go out with a bang, and boy, did it!
After the massive cliffhanger
at the end of Ghost Town, leaving the
future of Morganville in the balance, Daylighters
had a lot to sort out to end this series with everything wrapped up. I really
should know by now that it’ll get much, much worse before it gets better for
Claire and the gang. Because, wow, did things get bad. There were moments when I’d
look at how much I had left of the book and marvel at the possibility of everything
being resolved in time.
As the novel went on, it really
began to feel like an ending. Ideas that had been thrown around by Shane and
Claire over the last few books were cemented, lines were drawn, allies made and
Amelie took the crown and it made me so happy, but so, so sad as well. I’ve
followed these characters for such a long time and fallen so in love with them
that I can’t quite get my head around the fact that there won’t be any more
about them! By the end of Daylighters, Morganville
is on its way back to its former glory and everything is as peaceful as a town
run by vampires can be. I loved the ending and I’d be happy for them to stay
that way, no more death, danger or trauma, and yet, I still want more. I think
there’d be more scope for this world Rachel Caine has created, even in a
spin-off series. I’m just not reading to leave Morganville, Claire, Shane, Eve,
Michael, Myrnin, Oliver and Amelie behind yet.
Though I didn’t read for about
a week when I was halfway through Daylighters,
Rachel Caine still had me on the edge of my seat with her non-stop
adventure, high octane adventure and emotional intensity. A perfect ending to a
perfect series.

So glad you liked it, I totally agree! The ending was perfect, wasn't it? So sweet and a rare happy ending in Morganville - wonder how long that will last?
