Glass House by Rachel Caine



I am thoroughly obsessed with this book and the rest of the Morganville Vampires series. This book is about Claire Danvers, who skipped two grades in school and is now at college. Although, she has multiple acceptance letters from colleges like Caltech and MIT, her parents insist she goes to a college closer to home because of how young she is. She ends up in a small college in Morganville, a tiny town in the middle of Texas. However, she badly bullied by a group of hauntingly beautiful girls and decides she has to move out of the dorms. After a huge search, she moves in with Shane, Eve and Michael. They seem like your average group of flat sharing friends, except Michael is never around in the day and Eve is obsessed with the supernatural. Claire soon realises bullies may be the least of her problems in Morganville.

Rachel Caine is a witty writer who instantly makes you want to be part of her written world, regardless of the dangers. She really builds up the relationship between the characters which I think is so rarely done well in most teen novels. Many people see this series as a formidable one to read due to the fact it is 15 books long, but it's totally worth it. I went to see Rachel Caine speak about the release of her 15th book and she mad me laugh like crazy. She series will definitely have, and keep you, hooked until the very end. I also found it fairly easy reading and didn't want to do anything else until I had finished them. The amount of books in the series means I would recommend buying them second hand off Amazon or buying omnibuses because otherwise it becomes very costly (but you should totally read it). Plus, if you are a fan of the series there is now a web series being released which is based o  the books, heres a link:
