review 1: Księga druga była lepsza od pierwszej, ale i tak nie jest to lektura, która zapiera dech w piersiach. "Nocna aleja" była taka sobie, wydawała mi się nudna. Ciekawie zaczęło się robić dopiero w "Maskaradzie szaleńców" ale i tak zakończenie, które zapowiadało się naprawdę interesująco, ostatecznie mnie trochę rozczarowało. Spodziewałam się większej akcji i czegoś szokującego ale tego nie dostałam. No cóż, trudno. Po raz kolejny dialogi okazały się oryginalne i zabawne ale mimo to, książka nie pozostanie mi długo w pamięci. Dlatego oceniłam tylko na 3 gwiazdki. Chciałam dać 4 ale stwierdziłam, że to jednak za dużo. Jest całkiem w porządku ale nie jest to arcydzieło.
review 2: MICHELLE'S REVIEW:MIDNIGHT ALLEYRATING : 4 SME
... moreXI BOYS STARS!!I have just finished ‘Midnight Alley’, that was a great read, lots of excitement and twists in the storyline. I’m starting to get a clearer picture of where 7+ more books could be taking me. Claire has a lot of growing up to do in this book and not a lot of choices. Amelie has made it very clear where Claire’s allegiance lies. I’m not sure how that is going to all pan out for Claire, she has got herself in a rather deep hole with Amelie.Enter, new character Myrnin. I kept calling him Merlin in my head, not sure why I had that annoying habit every time I read his name. Myrnin is an interesting character, very Jekyll and Hyde . I quite looked forward to reading about his character , he made me ‘feel’ for the vampires.Oooo!! The plot thickens, there is treachery , danger , secrets and lots of hot kisses . Oh dear Claire , what are you getting yourself into. She just keeps getting that shovel out and digging that hole deeper.Michael and Shane have to sort their friendship out. I was surprised at first by Shane’s reaction but then I thought about it and it made sense. I did ‘feel’, for Michael as it was not an easy path he chose. Let’s face it when you are halfway there but can only go forward, what would you do? Oliver has me scratching my head, he one minute wants to harm, next minute he is the hero. I have my eye on Oliver, what’s his deal?Poor Eve , her psycho brother Jason, he just keeps popping up and it doesn’t bode well for the campus girls when Jason is around, or is he misunderstood? I know he needs a bath .Have the humans of Morganville had enough of being preyed upon?I loved the title, ‘Midnight Alley’, it represents the story well.Poor Claire at the tender age of nearly 17, has a lot on her plate, secrets she must keep from those she loves or risk being snuffed out by Amelie. It feels like she has the weight of Morganville on her shoulders.And now!!!!........................well you will have to pick up ‘Feast Of Fools ‘, to read what Claire is confronted with, can’t wait to see how she handles this...lol!!! ( not that it’s funny)Time to crack open ‘Feast Of Fools’, as I just gotta know......FEAST OF FOOLSRATING: 4 DELIGHTFULLY DANGEROUS MYRNIN STARS!!!BOOK REVIEW:Mr Bishop has arrived with his 2 minions and he is not somebody to talk back to. This is a whole new level of Vampire.Michael is struggling with his new life and Shane isn’t going to play nice. Claire’s mum and dad are in for a rude shock when things are not what they seem .....and then some.I’m still trying to figure out Oliver and Amelie, are they friends or foe? Is Oliver playing nice or has he a hidden agenda?Michael and Eve are getting jiggy with it, leaving Shane and Claire in the ‘jailbait’, category. Definantly no jiggy, but hot smooches are allowed. Claire does not act,‘nearly seventeen’, she has taken on a much more maturer role. I now believe she is this gifted, intelligent girl, who is wasting her time with her regular course studies, she has something very special in the brain department. Amelie has steered Claire in the direction best suited to her intelligence, but it is a dangerous, unreliable, deadly direction.Monica is a true pain in the ass, so well written that you just loathe her character, but at the same time, I love reading what stupid thing she is going to attempt.What is Jason up to? He is very good at deception. I feel sorry for the boy/man he could have been.Shane has an admirer of the deadly kind and it’s peeving Claire off to no end. But what is a girl to do .....what is Shane to do?Claire is almost throwing herself at poor Shane, the restraint he holds, you have to take your hat off to him as a lot of guys would take what is being offered, without hesitation.Claire and her new sidekick are working desperately to answer the questions that are so badly sought. Things are changing around Claire and she must keep up before it is too late.I’m really liking, Richard Morell. He seems to be a good guy , a fair guy. Claire is seeking Amelie out, depending on her for answers a little too much. Claire is holding back a lot from her friends, secrets she must keep or bring down the wrath of her Patron.Mr Bishop is one creepy daddy. I am sure we will get to read a lot more about him and his scarey minions, Francois and Ysandre.I am really loving Myrnin’s character, you don’t know quite what to expect at times when reading as he is such an unpredictable character. He is in his own headspace and he beats to his own drum. The moments of clarity aren’t half as much fun as when he is dangerous and looking for a Claire Machappy meal.I loved the Masquerade Ball, visually it would look wonderful with the costumes , especially Shane’s.hee....hee.This was an ever changing read, lots happening. Many emotions the characters went through. Living in Morganville is like a pressure cooker situation, you just know something is about to boil over. less
