Nine day wonder

There were times while I was reading Carpe Corpus, the 6th book in the Morganville Vampires Series by Rachel Caine, that I thought it was going to be a disappointment, nothing but a nine day wonder. I felt some of the beginning was just parts of one of the previous novels in the series. But once again Caine managed to keep me interested and aching for more.
There was one very upsetting let down in the book, though. I waited for six books to finally see Claire and Shane "get physical" and it felt like a total rip off. She left out all of the good stuff... I mean come on now, throw a girl a bone (no pun intended). It was awful waiting for it to happen, almost as if I was Claire, myself. I mean, I understood the whole "she was sixteen and underage" thing, but hello... she's seventeen now, no more children in the room... make it a good scene. Don't get me wrong, I loved all the naivety and longing you feel as a young adult and being able to relive it when I'm reading but... well... hopefully she will open up in that department later in the series.
