Morganville vampires: volume 2: Midnight Alley and Feast of Fools. Rachel Caine. 2010.

Midnight Alley

Claire Danvers has pledged herself to Amelie, the most powerful vampire in town. But being under Amelie’s protection doesn’t offer much comfort when people start turning up dead, a stalker resurfaces from Claire’s past, and an ancient bloodsucker extends a chilling invitation for private lessons at his secluded home in Midnight Alley. To what end, Claire will soon discover - and it will give a terrifying new meaning to night school.

Feast of Fools

In Morganville, vampires and humans have learned to live in relative peace, but the tenuous good-neighbour policy is abruptly turned on its head with the arrival of Mr Bishop. The ancient old-school vampire is bad to the bone, and what he wants from the town’s living and dead is unthinkably sinister. It’s only at a formal ball attended by vampires and their human dates that Claire realises Bishop’s plan - and the elaborately evil trap he’s set for the warm-blooded souls of Morganville.
