Synopsis:
Welcome to Morganville, Texas. Just don't stay out after dark. 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'll have Claire's back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood.
My Review:
It was good. I really had not heard of this series until I saw the combined volume of the first two books at the book store. Then I went home and read some reviews and decided to give it a shot. I was taken aback at first by how physically violent the vampires were. When Claire was pushed down the stairs, knives were drawn, and punches were thrown, I knew this was a different kind of vampire novel and I knew Claire was a different kind of heroine. She is not sitting there waiting to be rescued by some super strong paranormal being, she is taking risk and is in the fight for her life as well. She is also very smart and does not take orders from anyone unless she understands why. These vampires in my mind are more typical since they are scary, dark, and downright evil. I really like the other characters too and they add a nice support for Claire and her adventures in Morganville. This one ended with a cliff hanger so luckily I only had to flip a few pages to start on the next book. I am glad I made the decision to buy books 3 and 4 as well because they are fast and easy reads and I can tell I am going to whip right through them.
