Reviews
Claire Danvers is very smart and ends up in Morganville at Texas Prairie University at 16. By 6 weeks in her life is miserable being bullied by Monica and her clique. When a near fatal beating makes her fear for her life she looks for a place to live off-campus and ends up at Glass House. Three 18 year-olds live there, Eve, Shane, and Michael who owns the house and they are reluctant to let someone so young reside there. But another attack makes them want to protect her. The town is not what it seems at first and soon Claire finds out about the vampires who run it and the rules needed to survive.
