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.

Summary
Overall Rachel Caine's Morganville Vampires is a series of fifteen books set in Morganville, Texas in which the books’ heroine is Clare Danvers, a college student. The community has agreed to a secret relationship between humans and vampires of which the rest of the world has not knowledge. In the first book Glass Houses, because Claire is particularly intelligent, she is important to the vampires, and, as such, finds herself having to ork alongside them very closely. I love the story’s diverse
characters, including Shane, the town bad boy and Claire’s love interest; her best friend Eve, the Goth; musician Michael Glass; Monica, Claire’s human tormentor; sometimes mad vampire scientist Myrnin; and the world’s oldest vampire Amelie. This story has plenty of really bad guys, people who struggle between good and bad, and a
few who the reader will always root for. It is a comingofage story that moves Claire from naïve sixteenyearold to seasoned veteran of surviving almost insurmountable
obstacles. It’s a tale of friendships, first loves, and true loves, of hope and despair, survival and strength.
