I decided to DNF this book because I just didn't care about the characters or the story. I was looking forward to a unique vampire story but this was not it. A lot of people rave about this series, but it is another instance where I have no interest in reading or finishing the book.
Overall, I enjoyed reading Glass House quite a bit. I will be reading the sequel, despite Caine's horrendous cliff hangering.
I read this book because [b:Prince of Shadows 12788124 Prince of Shadows Rachel Caine https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1371565717s/12788124.jpg 17935688] was such a good book. Glass houses was an interesting read, but didn't quite live up to my expectations. I do plan on finishing the series though. Okay, so there is this girl named Claire, who goes to college in this small town called Morganville. She's only 16, but is really book-smart. Unfortunately , she ends up angering a girl who has some important connections to the people that run the town. And then, she finds out the people who run the town are vampires . Pretty soon, she has to take refuge with three roommates in a house that is Protected against vampires . An unexpected twist at the end,this book is one that I would recommend.
The characters are interesting and lovable. The plot is fun and interesting. The attempts at romance are sappy. Overall a good YA read.
Claire Danvers is sixteen and uber smart, but , going off to college at that age is freaking her parents out. So, rather than letting her go to one of the top schools far away, they think it would be good for her to stay closer to home. They have no idea that sending her to Morganville is a really bad idea. Claire never believed in vampires until she moved to Vamp USA, and now she may not get out alive. I almost gave this book 3 stars instead of 4. I really liked it, but not the narration so much. I think I will just read the next ones.
Love Love Love Glass Houses.
I have been wanting to read this for the longest time, and finally got around to reading it.
I've now added this series to my list of faves.
Now on with the second book :)
I wanted this to be better for the amount of time this series has spent on the NY Times Best Sellers List but it was just okay. Claire was annoying for a character, but like many others I stayed for Michael and Shane.
This was a good urban fantasy. I liked how Claire learns to deal with trouble both living and undead. I look forward to reading next book in series, Dead Girl's Dance.
