Publisher's summary

Morganville, Texas, is a small college town filled with quirky characters. But when the sun goes down, the bad come out. Because in Morganville, there is an evil that lurks in the darkest shadows---one that will spill out into the bright light of day.

Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation. The popular girls never let her forget just where she ranks on the school's social scene: somewhere less than zero. And Claire really doesn't have the right connections---to the undead who run the town. 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.

Interesting start

I love Rachel Caine. Her weather warden series was amazing. This was definitely an interesting start to the series. A lot of reveals that were kinda obvious but still very fun. The cliffhanger was an interesting choice though.

Glass Houses (Morganville Vampires, Book 1): The Morganville Vampires, Book 1

Glass Houses (Morganville Vampires, Book 1): The Morganville Vampires, Book 1 I enjoyed this book and audible book a lot. Claire is a brainiac who has never really fit in because of her age and starting college at 16 1/2, but the roommates she befriends make her feel like she belongs. I can't wait to read more of this series, and there were a couple of surprises with the plot I did not expect. I definitely recommend this book !!

Awesome Storyline

The characters are unique. It’s not your typical vampire story, which makes it intriguing. I am excited to listen to Book 2.

Made me feel old

What did you like best about Glass Houses? What did you like least?

I like the overall idea of the book, but I felt a little too old to relate to the problems the characters are going through.

What could Rachel Caine have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I'm not sure. I think this is better geared toward traditional YA readers, i.e. under 22.

Did Cynthia Holloway do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

Yeah, I think she did the best she could, with what she had to work with.

Was Glass Houses worth the listening time?

Honestly, I gave up about half way through. I simply had a hard time getting into the story with the characters all being between 16-18 years old.

Any additional comments?

I thought this might be more like Hunger Games, where you are able to fall into the story and forget the main character is 16. However, that was not the case with this one.

Good Book - Horrible Narrator

Is there anything you would change about this book?

The narrator's voice was trying. I decided to buy the paperback and read this one to avoid the annoyance of the narrator's voice.

If you’ve listened to books by Rachel Caine before, how does this one compare?

This was my first one.

How could the performance have been better?

Get a narrator that has less of a valley girl sound to it. Claire Danvers is not a valley girl so why would the voice of the book sound that way. Horrible match.

Could you see Glass Houses being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

Yes
