pg 15:"What normal girl loved physics? Abnormal ones. Ones who were not ever going to be hot. And face it, being hot? That was what life was all about."Yeah, well, no thanks. Abandoned.OK, I tried reading it, I just can't buy into the premiseClaire Danvers is a prodigy student. At 16, she is a university freshman and having awful dorm problems. In fact, in the first chapter, she is beaten by a group of mean girls, thrown down the stairs, and warned that she would be killed next time she is seen around the campus. She is unconscious for a while, and when she is found by another student, nobody calls the police. Even the campus doctor who checks Claire's many bruises, split lip
For anyone looking for good, brainless, PG-13 rated vampire fun, this is probably the book for you. The author has a straightforward writing style and tells a straightforward story about an unpopular girl who gets the short end of the stick in a town ruled by vampires, until she makes some oh my god like totally cool and hottt friends. (Yes, "hot" needs three t's--one for each friend.)The book has a slightly juvenile tone, which is ironic since the main character--a brainiac who is sixteen years

QUICK OVERVIEW: If you love books that have dangerous vampires around every corner, a quick moving and realistic plot, and characters that will have you packing up your home to move in next door to them, then you will love Glass Houses. Heck, even if you don't love all of those things, I'm pretty sure you'll love Glass Houses.REVIEW: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! How did I not pick this series up sooner?I fell in love with this series after the very first page, and I'm not entirely sure
Honestly... Not mad at this book. Is it cheesy? Sure. But is it also kind of a good time? Yes. I would compare the caliber of writing to most adult urban fantasy series. I didn't expect much going in so I was surprised by how much I was into it. It reminded me a lot of Vampire Diaries, which I'm always down for. I might even read the next book in the series. Way to go picking out books, high school me.
Loved this YA vamp tale - although the ending was mean for the poor reader. However Rachel assures me it wasn't her idea - I can understand that!
