I have read a great deal of vampire books over the last couple of years, and after the about 10, you tend to find that they start to get quite repetitive, and very much like every other vampire book out there. So I always get really excited when I find a book that is completely fresh and original, which is what this book certainly is. This is the story of the Glass house, A seemingly ordinary house that resides in the town of Morganville. The story's central character is a 16 year old girl called Claire Danvers, she's an extremly intelligent girl which meant that she finished high school early, so her parents sent her to college in ...  Read the complete review

I have a real penchant for vampire books and films in whatever form they may come (any of you who has read my reviews before may well already know this fact!), so as my self and my sister have managed to collect a fantastic selection between us, we are now deliberately buying each other books that we would actually want to read afterwards (method in our madness you see!), with this particular book being one my sister got for me for my birthday, and is waiting to read (better get on with this review then!). The book I will now review is - "Glass houses by Rachel Caine". Claire Danvers had trouble at high school, this in part due to her ...  Read the complete review

It seems that these days vampire books are everywhere what with the Twilight books and the Sookie Stackhouse series and while I cant quite understand the obsession with vampires I don't mind reading about them occasionally. So when I came across a new series of vampire books called the Morganville vampire series by the author Rachel Caine I thought I would try it out starting with the first 'Glass Houses'. I had never heard of the author Rachel Caine before I read this book and judging by the amount of books she writes she must be quite a popular author as there are already 8 books in the Morganville vampire series with at least 4 more scheduled for the near ...  Read the complete review

'Glass Houses' is the first book in a series written by Rachel Caine set in the fictional town of Morganville. This book is one of many that have appeared in recent years featuring the theme of vampires, however, it is rare that I am inspired to read one of the books in this genre. I have seen reviews rating this series highly, so when I saw a recent offer of 6 books in the series for just £3 from the book people website, I decided that I should give the series a try. After all, that is only 50p a book, and an absolute bargain. The book features a 16 year old girl called Claire Danvers. She is a bright girl who has entered the University system a couple of ...  Read the complete review

Meet Claire Danvers, an extremely gifted 16 year old who leaves home to start her first year at university, two years ahead of her peers. Her dream is to go to an Ivy League school such as Harvard or MIT but as she is still so young her parents refuse to let her live so far away from home and instead agree that she can enroll at Texas Prairie University (TPU) in the town of Morganville until she turns 18. However, the college experience doesn't turn out as Claire had hoped, thanks to Monica Morrell. Monica and her group of friends are the popular girls on campus that seem to rule the roost. Get on the wrong side of Monica and you'll definitely know about it. ...  Read the complete review
