If any teen is looking for a series that discusses teen angst with a paranormal twist, the "Morganville Vampires" is probably not the best series to turn to. This series does not seek to resemble other teen books that discuss the conflicts of teenhood, peppered with cute vampire romance. The "Morganville Vampire" series, in many ways, is more adult than teen. It's fairly clean, as far as language and sex go, but all of the characters have been forced to grow up because of the conflicts they go through. I remembered once thinking that Rachel Caine's novels are mentally exhausting, because they hit you like a ton of bricks and the action is so nonstop that there is little time to rest. What separates Rachel Caine's books from other writers in the same genre is that she is unafraid of making her characters go through hell despite their ages, and seeks to strip their personalities down to their very core. She is intricate in her development, meticulous at showing each and every beautiful and horrible facet of every individual, and each is character has their own distinct voices, their own personalities, and every one--even small, supporting characters--are unique. Rachel Caine's attention to detail and ability to weave and craft a story line that stays consistent after this many books is only a small reason why these books are worth reading. The rest is simply indescribable. Her writing works and flows in ways that many other writers could only seek to master. The "Morganville Vampires", once over, will probably stay on my shelf where they will be read and re-read until the pages are falling out and I'm forced to buy new ones. Such is the mark of a truly fantastic writer.
