This book took me into an amazing and often terrifying world. It was absolutely fascinating—the way the town worked and all the rules. I loved being a newcomer in Morganville, along with the main character, Claire. I loved seeing her grow into herself, become more confident, and so very clever.

I put myself in the MC Claire's shoes, and it didn't feel farfetched. And vampires are not the only thing lurking in Morganville, but when Claire is given one of the highest regards by a royal, Claire becomes untouchable…

The Morganville Vampires Series was one of the first series I read with more than three books to it's name. You could say it sunk it's teeth into me.

Glass Houses centres around Claire Danvers' need to strike out on her own, to step out of the college dorms and away from the harsh treatment of the popular kids.

It's such a normal situation. We all know that living in the real world is nothing like the shiny bubble of a college or university campus. But, what would you do if you discovered that your new home, and housemates, weren't…
