If you like a vampire book that pretty much stick to the old rules of vampire folklore you'll like this one. In this book vampires rule the town called Morganville and they're the villains of the story. Vampires can't go out at day, they're vulnerable against crosses, holy water, garlic etc.

You can also relate to the story because the setting was like in a dorm house called the Glass House (Claire, Eve, Shane and Michael live together) and I really like the characters too:

I would give this 2.5, as I'm torn between the 2 and 3 star rating. I love Rachel's straightforward writing style and I absolutely love the the characters, Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael. While I understand this book was setting up what's to come in the next books, it just lacked something for me. I don't know what it is, as it's full of action and has the making of a great series, which I have heard from everyone it's an amazing series and each book is better and better.

I love the vampire world ...more

Loved Loved Loved this book! It was so different from all the other vampire books I've read. I wasn't rooting for the vampires in this book, I was rooting for the humans! The characters are very well written and I loved them all. Now I've got to start the 2nd book! I hate cliffhangers!! ...more
