             I'm going to start my review of Ghost Town with Claire and Shane. Shane ask Claire out to a drive in movie, while Eve goes to a rave party with a friend. While Claire and Shane are starting their date Claire receives a frantic call from Eve. The party it seems is being crashed by some humans and now vampires as well. Claire and Shane race to the party to save Eve. Once they arrive at the location of the rave it is a disaster with people running everywhere.
            Once they make it in they see dead humans and vampires. Claire and Shane get attacked so Claire stakes a female vampire with a silver stake. The vampire turns out to have a deadly reaction to silver, and dies. In Morganville the penalty for killing a vampire is death. Amelie instead orders Claire to work with Myrnin to get the city's defense system back running again. The system keeps people from remembering anything about the vampires in Morganville, among other things. Claire must stay awake until the task is done, with only breaks to eat, drink, and use the bathroom. If she fails than she will die and Myrnin will more than likely use her brain to run the machine.
             Claire gets the machine working, but Myrnin makes a few changes without Claire's knowledge. The problem is everyone is forgetting people they know. It is erasing the last three years of their life, it is also affecting vampires. Shane, Eve, and Michael are also affected. Amelie and Oliver finally come and help only after Amelie gets her memory back. Shane, Michael, and Eve help as well even though they still do not have their memory back. Shane's dad Frank also helps, he is a vampire now. They end up blowing the machine up with a grenade that Frank brought. Before Frank uses the grenade he is pinned under some debris and can not be helped. He saves everyone by telling them to run, then blows the machine up. The book ends with Myrnin calling Claire to his lab. When she arrives he informs her that he has fixed the machine again. The big surprise is it is running again because Myrnin is using Franks brain to run it. He wants Claire to keep it a secret, especially from Shane.
