Introducing The Keeper Shelf and Evernight by Claudia Gray

Introducing The Keeper Shelf and Evernight by Claudia Gray Most of the time we review new books here at VBC. In some cases that’s just because we’re excited about the new stuff, other times it’s that we’ve read the backlist stories before I started this blog. I want an opportunity to recommend my favorites to you (and let the associate reviewers Jo and Candace have their hand at telling you what’s OMG-You-Must-Read good, too). So, I’m debuting a new feature here...

Claudia Gray Q&A: Afterlife, Balthazar and balance

Claudia Gray Q&A: Afterlife, Balthazar and balance When we first started Claudia Gray’s Evernight we didn’t know what we were getting into. With the series getting stronger and more complex as it progressed, we found ourselves needing more of Bianca (not a vampire, but very close to them) and Lucas (part of a long line of vampire hunters). The books are engaging and got under our skin. The final novel in the Evernight series hit shelves yesterday, and we...

Waiting on Wednesday: Afterlife (Evernight #4) by Claudia Gray

Waiting on Wednesday: Afterlife (Evernight #4) by Claudia Gray We’ll be honest, when we first picked up Evernight at the bookstore we were expecting it to be so-so. Another vampire book set at a school. We’d just read Vampire Academy books, so the bar was set high. But Claudia Gray’s series following Bianca (not a vampire, but very close with them) and Lucas (part of a long line of vampire hunters) was different, engaging and got under our skin. You often hear...
