Glass Houses by Rachel Caine

Glass Houses (Morganville Vampires, #1)

by Rachel Caine

College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation, where the popular girls never let her forget just where she ranks in the school's social scene: somewhere less than zero.

When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new roommates don't show many signs of life. But they'll have Claire's back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood.

This book was recommended to my by a friend who hasn't yet steered me wrong, but as I read the first part of this book I'll admit I thought "well, there's a first time for everything". The constant beatings got to be a bit much, and for someone so intelligent, she seemed to rush into potentially dangerous situations with little or no fore thought. But as we got to the second half of the book, things got interesting and I can see why this series is a keeper.

The residents of Glass House are all interesting and likeable. The action at the end held my attention until the end. The hints of romance gave me something to look forward to. And I'm intrigued by the character of Amalie. All of these reasons will have me picking up the next book soon.
