Synopsis
College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation, where the popular girls never let her forget just where she ranks in the school's social scene: somewhere less than zero. When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new roommates don't show many signs of life, but they come out fighting when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood...

Customer Reviews

WHOA
I haven't read the weather warden series, being a vampire-novel addict, i went straight to the morganville section. I LOVE THEM.especially this one, which is probably my favourite out of all of them. some bits were a little random, and others just plain weird, but the book itself, as a whole, is brilliant. READ THIS BOOK!

Great start to a series, instant favourite.
I'm the first person to review this that was the target audience (18) and I have to say that I really enjoyed it and couldn't get a hold of the next two in the series fast enough.

As soon as I picked it up I got sucked in. The characters drew me in and I found that I liked all the characters fairly quickly and came to care about what happened to them. Their actions and the way they spoke to each other felt very real too which made me believe in the world that the author created.

I thought that it was refreshing that the main female characters were not fashion and boy obsessed which is a change from most books aimed at my age which I find patronising and boring.

It was a great read and I'm looking forward to the next in the series, I hear that the author is on her eighth and the rights to film/tv have been sold which is really exciting. I'm imatiently waiting for the fith book to come out and have started to look at her other works.

Teenage Fiction
The characters were somewhat likeable but I was frustrated upon reading it that the Lead Characters were Teenagers - I had not known that upon purchasing the book and I too believe it should have been listed as Young Adult Fiction.

I was also disappointed that the lead character did not come out with any particular talent, other than being very intelligent. It was a Sunday afternoon read and I am reluctant to purchase the sequels.
