A book with flare
I got back into reading when i read "The twilight" series and the Morganville series was one that i chose to read after i had finished this series. I prefered this sequal to the original book as i think the characters are better devloped and the plot is more fast paced however i would say to people that they should read The Glass House first to fully understand this book. Not overly complicated but a good read and a good series so far - cant wait to read the third one and for the release of the 4th and 5th.
By the way the books glow in the dark - got a fright when i first realised because i couldnt figure out what it was.

I love this series
As soon as I picked the first morganvie vampire book up I was sucked in. The characters are really well written and realistic, you care a lot about what happens to them almost as soon as you read the first chapter.

The series never lets up on exciting plots and every book leaves you wanting more. I've ordered copies of every one after this, and I'm usually very picky. It's an instant favourite.


The blurb doesn't do the book justice either, it's just a great series and I'm glad I decided to buy them.

OMGWTFSVH
The copy is misleading: Claire Danvers and Eve Rosser didn't have dates for the Dead Girls' Dance (whose name is also misleading; it was just a fancy-dress boozer). The action starts on the first page: Claire and Eve believe one of their housemates has been murdered, but instead of being dead he's some kind of ghost. College town Morganville is basically run by vampires, a bitchy bunch of people who prove that power corrupts absolutely. But who are the evil ones: the vampires or those seeking them? It's all a bit confusing, but is nonetheless an interesting read. There are some scenes with college girls and guys being lame that I would've cut. We're simply told that Claire is an early-admissions genius, yet we don't get solid proof. Sure, she reads ahead in her texts and likes physics...but this is the same chick who drinks from an opened bottle offered to her by a stranger. You may be familiar with the phrase OMGWTFBBQ, but for me it was an OMGWTFSVH moment. (The 1bruce1 LiveJournal community should educate you.) Drink-spiking! Attempted statutory rape! Dance at a frat house! This is not a bad thing, though, it made me smile. I'll be reading more from this author, and hoping for more OMGWTFSVH moments.
