Glass House

Very very addictive series, I found it very hard to put down and highly recommend that you read the entire series. Cannot wait for more books. The series is action packed with great creativity not exactly a typical vampire series, contains lots of adventure. You will not be dissapointed there is something in here for everyone.

This author rocks--More of a Series Review

Sorry, this is more of a "if you're interested in the series" review: This author is one of the best authors in the vampire genre. No exaggeration, her pacing makes her the queen. This whole series is action packed, has interesting characters, hooking plots, and I was not disappointed. And unlike most recent vampire books, this one does not take place in high school, but rather a University and a town dedicated to the vampires. I loved the author's town setting. It's creepy, a new society, and you can just feel the characters' tension. If you read the first books, chances are that you will be reading all of the books, so prepare yourself. It is very difficult to review just one of these books because they are so connected. They pick up right where they left off--that's how good the author's flow is. My only complaint is the "high school" feeling some of the characters from the University give off. If you want a quick overview of what the first book is about: Michael Glass has a problem staying in his own home. The problem--he has odd hours and exists only at night but in the daytime he vanishes. No one knows where he goes. Just a heads up for those who are interested in the series: While the author avoids pre-marital sex for the first few books, it will come up. So be advised if you are planning to buy this for your teen. Not that they're explicit, but hey, this stuff is good to know before buying gifts.

Good, But Random

The Morganville Vampire series is a definite good read, but it's incredibly random. It's as if the author makes it up as she goes. This can be a good thing, though, in the concept that you're never bored. You never hear the "same old this" or "same old that," like you do with 4 out of the 6 of the Vampire Kisses: The Beginning books (great series, don't get me wrong). It's always something new and exciting! A definite good read for any fans of a sexy, fun thriller.

LOVED IT!!!

So i admitt that i do not own this paticualar book but i do own the whole series and must say that i love rachel caine's world or morganville. this book is basically part 1: glass houses and part 2: dead girl's dance rolled into one longer book. if i could sum up the total pages into each morganville book they are at most 225 pages each and packed with action, funny characters, and plots and twists that left me wondering at night. i do admitt though that i did find myself wanting to reach into the book and slapping the main character a couple of times for pulling some of the stupidest moves that i have ever read in a vampire book but i guess that's the charm that rachel caine magically wove into claire danvers. Morganville is an easy read and very fast to get into. i recommend it to anybody who wants to explore a new world of vampires.
