Fade Out (Morganville Vampires, Book 7) Review
I enjoyed this series, but it was getting a little too much lately, but finally, this book snapped it out of the over-the-top drama that made me tired mentally. This book was a good stand alone book (better than the others at least), and it did not end with a cliff hanger, which was a relief.
Spoilers coming up, so read on with caution!!!!!
In this book, Eve becomes friends with another goth named Kim, who is called the historian by the vampires because she is chronicling their history on video. However, she is actually using this as a way to shoot a reality show about Morganville. It becomes clear that she had help from a vampire or two when Claire and her friends discover that there are multiple cameras (almost 75) hidden throughout town and even in houses (Glass house included) and in restricted vampire only places. When Kim comes up missing from the play rehearsal that she is starring with Eve in the local theater, the group goes to Kim's house to find her. Instead, they find hidden cameras and discover the truth about Kim. They remove and destroy the cameras and the hard drives backing up the footage eventually. Later, they find Kim has been brain damaged by Ada. Ada was the secret one helping Kim, along with a few rogue vampires (Morley). Ada did this because she wants to take control of Morganville in her warped mind now that she has become defective through Myrnin's virus.
Ada has spent the entire book trying to kill Claire with spiders and vampires and sabotaging the portal travel. She has to be reset, and when she realizes that she is beyond repair, she commits suicide. It also turns out that Myrnin and Ada were deeply in love, and this is very sad character development since Ada dies in the end. Amelie is of little help herself, as she mourns for Sam, and even tries to commit suicide.
You get to see softer sides of the vampires, but ironically, Michael is slipping away from his softness and is slowly becoming less human. Also, Myrnin, even though healed, is still crazy and unpredictable. He is more of a murderer than he let on, virus or not. Oliver seems to have the hots for Amelie, who may or may not return the favor. He pushes her back in her normal mode of business by challenging her and keeping their cat and mouse game continuing.
The book ends with Morley making a pact with the group that if Claire cannot get them and other rogue vamps a pass out of town, they will kill them--in a month. Also, Monica is back to her mean self, and she is no longer meek. Michael gets a big break in his music career, and things begin to calm down in the human vampire equality pact.
The crazy thing--two sex tapes came out of the Glass House in this book. Funny, right?

Fade Out (Morganville Vampires, Book 7) Overview
Without the evil vampire Bishop ruling over the town of Morganville, the resident vampires have made major concessions to the human population. With their newfound freedoms, Claire Danvers and her friends are almost starting to feel comfortable again...
Now Claire can actually concentrate on her studies, and her friend Eve joins the local theatre company. But when one of Eve's castmates goes missing after starting work on a short documentary, Eve suspects the worst. Claire and Eve soon realize that this film project, whose subject is the vampires themselves, is a whole lot bigger-and way more dangerous-than anyone suspected.
