                Synopsis

Morganville is a small town filled with unusual characters – when the sun goes down, the bad come out. In Morganville, there is an evil that lurks in the darkest shadows – one that will spill out into the bright light of day.

For Claire Danvers, high school was hell, but college may be murder. It was bad enough that she got on the wrong side of Monica, the meanest of the school’s mean girls, but now she’s got three new roommates, who all have secrets of their own. And the biggest secret of all isn’t really a secret, except from Claire: Morganville is run by vampires, and they are hungry for fresh blood...

      my Thoughts (review)

Okay so it’s Easter and like you can tell I just finished reading this book. It’s about a sixteen year old, Claire, and she was in collage ‘cause she’s, like, supper smart. Yeah, it’s got that kind of feel to it. Anyway, getting the head bitch of the school mad at her, and being that that girl is sico– like pushed Claire down the stairs and was going to come back of more, Claire didn’t feel safe. So beaten and scared she went to a house to ask if she could live with them. And that’s where everything gets interesting. It’s also how she learns that vampires run the place and that she’s in more trouble than she ever thought.

     

And that was before she found out that the people she lived with, at least one of them is more than just a human, and when they decide they need some leverage over the vampires, it’s up to Claire to create and find a book that will give them all that.

     

It’s actually a... I’m not sure but it’s very teen novel and that might have been one of the reason that it just didn’t do anything for me, but then it never really did, I only bought this book ‘cause I heard reviews and wanted to see what they were all on about.

     

But it’s good, like all the others of its place, hidden vampires, only this time the whole town is hidden, and even if you know, when you leave everything seems to disappear from your mind. It’s weird and yet makes sense, and a great deal more than a lot of the other ones.

     

Anyway the main characters and I’m sure they are in all of the books, okay I’m more then positive from one of the short stories I spoke of above. Anyway, Shane the sarcastic, hard, you know all books have him, and he (of course) falls for her and her him. Then there’s Michael, who’s the straight line, stable one, and Eve the Goth who’s in love with Michael.

     

There all good, even the evil bitch, but she’s so sico that it’s a lot more than just power that pushes her to hurt others. Like the altermently bully.
