Product Information

Being a brainiac means of course that she’s abnormal. She likes physics. What normal girl likes physics? (huh?)

In Rachel Caine's town of Morganville, "there's always a surprise just around every dark corner" - and it usually involves the undead. Now these secrets come to light in the first two books of the Morganville Vampires series, together in one volume. The series follows Claire Danvers, a 16-year-old girl who moves to Morganville, Texas, to attend Texas Prairie University. Claire is super smart, and since her parents won’t let her go to MIT or Yale, she settles for TPU. So Claire lives on the top floor of a dorm she doesn’t want to be in anymore. This is because the meanest of the school’s mean girls. Monica Morrell is making her life a living difficult. Claire is being bullied by Monica and her friends, Jennifer and Gina, and three popular Mingo bullies against one new girl who barely knows anyone. Her roommates take her in after she promises not to cause any trouble for them. They warn her not to leave the house, but she has to go to… you know, to class and all, so she doesn’t take their warning to heart. Once in campus, the mean girls grab her again, and so Claire calls her roommates to come to her rescue (HUH?) for being easy to read. Okay, so I know it sounds dumb, but it's a small book and it took me about half a day, all told- actually considerably less, now that I think about it. And given the minuses, this is a very good thing. There is no real romance, some looks between characters, hand holding, bit of smooching, but Claire is ‘jail bait’ , so understandable.Now a fraternity is tossing its yearly Dead Girls’ Dance and the surprise here is Claire and her similarly outcast closest friend named Eve, happen to be invited. Once they discover why, all nightmare will probably bust unfastened. Since this time both living and the dead are arriving out and everyone’s starving for blood. I originally read this book about 10 years ago, when the various pitfalls that ffrequently accompany YA didn't bother me as long as the story had something that could capture me - and this book, with it's absolute sanctuary of the Glass House, had exactly what I was looking for. I'm still very susceptible to a safe base/cosy home/preferably some sort of combo, but it was harder to overlook some issues this time. There's a touch of insta-love, the writing isn't what Rachel Caine is usually capable of, and - bad sin - a cliffhanger end. So it's fair to say that at least one of my stars is made purely of nostalgia. Claire decides she can't live in the dorms for fear Morgan and her posse will end up killing her so she seeks out a roommate add. Upon her arrival at the Glass House, she meets her said roommates Shane, Michael and Eve.

Things to know: 1) Eve’s new friend is a bitch, 2) Morley is an important character, 3) Amelie is being suicidal, 4) Ada is evil, and 5) Myrnin may be cured, but he is still crazy-ish.The romance is nothing like I wanted it to be. I wanted Claire to be with Michael, for god's sake! I don't like Shane, okay?! I don't feel anything towards him and I find him rather boring. Eve is really a sweetheart and I'm happy she found her happiness, but just not with the guy I wanted her to be!!!!!!! Morganville is a small town filled with unusual characters - when the sun goes down, the bad come out. In Morganville, there is an evil that lurks in the darkest shadows - one that will spill out into the bright light of day.
