Claire Danvers has had her fair share of problems. Not only has she been fast tracked a couple of years into high school due to her being so clever, she then found that the girls at her new school were not as pleasant as they could have been, so bad they had decided that she needs teaching a lesson! After having discovered that many of the residents of Morganville (the town the book is set in) are actually vampires, she feels that she has found three kindred spirits in her house mates, Eve, Michael and Shane, all of which look out for her after being on the wrong end of the leader of the all girl school group Monica Morrell. Things seem reasonably ...  Read the complete review

After enjoying the first book in the Morganville Vampire series called 'Glass Houses' I decided to continue and read the second book called 'Dead Girls Dance'.

The Dead Girls Dance - Rachel Caine I have been a fantasy novel fan for many years and have read a wide range of books on this genre. One particular type of story I find myself drawn to is vampire novels, and so when looking for a new set of books to read, I came across The Morganville Saga by Rachel Caine which began with 'Glass Houses' which I have also reviewed. Before reading Glass Houses, I had not read or even heard of Rachel Caine, though she came with high recommendations by a friend and I was pleasantly surprised with the first book, and hooked in enough to race straight out and purchase the second book (So addicted actually, that I purchased ...  Read the complete review

I recently picked up Rachel Caine's series, the Morganville Vampires, for a bargainous £3 for 6 books from the Book People as a little treat for myself for my birthday. I had read a few great reviews about the series, and after reading the first book, Glass Houses, I realised that this was a series that was well written and a little addictive. 'The Dead Girls' Dance' is book two in the series, and the action picks up pretty much immediately after Glass Houses finishes. I recommend reading Glass Houses first so you are familiar with the main characters as the action picks up quickly and it would be pretty confusing otherwise. This series fits quite ...  Read the complete review
