Her new roommates are the best thing about living in Morganville because, as it turns out, Eve isn’t crazy and the town is run by vampires. He’s eighteen and although he doesn’t seem to do anything much all day apart from make chilli and kill zombies whilst playing computer games, Claire thinks he’s totally cool.
Although, she also claims that Morganville is a town run by vampires, so she could just be crazy.įinally, there is Shane. Ever.Įve, a Goth girl who works at the local coffee shop and is a fellow roommate in the Glass House swears that Michael’s okay and is not a vampire and she would know because she’s checked…. In fact, nobody has ever seen him during the day. Accepted into the house, she finally feels like she is making some real friends, even if they are a little odd.įirstly, there is Michael the owner of the house, he’s only eighteen and a complete night owl. Unable to stay in the dorm, Claire looks for off-campus accommodation and answers an advert in the paper for a room-to-let in a creepy old shared house. Clever and geeky, Claire never expected to fit in with the in-crowd of fashionable and popular girls but when she inadvertently makes an enemy of the clique’s leader Monica, she had no idea how bad things would get. It’s an unprestigious college in equally unprestgious small college town. I will definitely be following up and reading the other books in the series, to find out what happens as the vampire and human worlds fight it out in Morganville.Claire Danvers is a freshman at college in Morganville, Texas.
Readers of the Vampire Academy series should enjoy the Morganville Trilogy, but most of all this book reminded me of the excellent British TV show Being Human. The slightly older college setting, and the shared house with four strong main characters sets Glass Houses apart from other books in the genre. This was an entertaining page-turner with some genuinely suspenseful (and comedic) moments. I must admit to thinking before reading Glass Houses that the world doesn’t need another YA vampire series. And through them she gradually learns that Morganville is an even stranger, and more dangerous, place than she could have imagined. Right from the first day Claire is aware that her new housemates, gothy Eve and hunks Shane and Michael, are different. When she becomes the victim of some particularly OTT mean girl bullying in her dorm, Claire opts for share house living in the quirky Glass House. Only sixteen, shy, academically precocious and away from home for the first time, Claire finds herself struggling to cope with university life in a strange new town. Claire Danvers has just moved to Morganville to attend Texas Prairie University.
