With 3 new roommates who quickly become her friends. After Monica and her friends seem to be trying to kill her, she needs to move out of the dorms and find someplace else to live. Thank you.Ĭlaire is a 16 and a half year old who is super smart and in college early. If you feel anything in my review is a spoiler and is not already hidden in spoiler brackets please let me know. I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler free way. 'So was my sixth-grade gym teacher, but he wasn't afraid of a cross.”

'Because they're evil, soulless, bloodsucking fiends?' Except, jokes on her, I don't actually care what happens to any of these people. And then after all of that, the author ends the book on a cliffhanger, presumably to get me to read the next book. Except the character as written wouldn't appear to have cared about this?). Combine this with cartoonish villains (seriously, the main antagonist appears to have issues with Claire because she corrected her about WWII being the Japanese not Chinese. I don't mind unlikable protagonists necessarily but she was just.so.offputting (example: she describes herself as being a 'freak of nature' for the totally weird trait of having ready a lot of classic novels). My main issue with this book was that the main character was a whiny, spoiled child.

Unfortunately, I was so irritated by this one that I won't be reading any more, so my questions will just have to remain unanswered. I found myself comparing it to a pantomime, with myself encouraging on the good guys and booing in my head at the bad ones.I picked this one up after a short story set in this universe was featured in another anthology I read this year and wanting to learn more about Morganville. The way in which Rachel Caine has written it keeps you wanting to know more and more as you go along, immersing you with twists and turns in the plots alongside the more personal side of the main characters. I found myself drawn into the world with its quirky characters and gripping storyline. The story starts by telling us about Claire and how life living in her college dormitory is hell due to being bullied by the town 'It Girl' Monica and she soon moves out, finding herself living in 'The Glass House' with Eve, Shane and Michael who seem to be at odds with the rest of the town.
