Glass Houses (The Morganville Vampires, Book 1)
Date undefinedThis was a very good book & was easy reading. I flew right through this & HAD to get the next ones in the series. If you enjoy vampire books this is a good read.

Date undefinedThough in the YA catagory, this book can be enjoyed by all! I am 33 and a fan of paranormal/paranormal romance type books. I bought this after finding it during on of my Amazon book window shopping sessions. :) It was a quick read but easily kept my interest - I just put the other books in the series on my wish list! If you're looking for a quick, fun read with interesting characters then this is for you. Yes, some may say the characters can be developed more - but this always happens in series books...we have plenty of time to find out more about Claire, Eve, Shane, and Michael. If you're taking the time to read this review, then you must have some interest in this genre - try this book, you won't be disappointed.
Glass Houses (The Morganville Vampires, Book 1)
Date undefinedI loved Twilight, Vampire Academy, Sunshine, Peeps, and Blue Bloods, so I thought that this would be right up my alley, but it wasn't.
I personally found the plot was too simple to hold my interest, the characters behaved in ways that stretched my credulity, and the writing simply dragged. The entire story hung on plot points or character actions that just didn't seem believable or logical in any way at all - and I love vampire young adult fiction! I'm used to suspending disbelief!
Maybe the series gets better in time. Or maybe the author's better with adult fiction? In any case, this was a real clunker for me. I finished it hoping some of the threads would be resolved in ways that explained all the dropped plot points and unreal behavior - but it was pointless. The ending was obviously crafted to get you to buy the next book, and didn't resolve much of anything.
Skip this one and try out one of the Vampire books I mentioned above. Those are fast-moving, enthralling, fantastic books that you won't be able to set down.
