Ninas Bücher: Rezension Haus der Vampire

The University of Sussex has proven that just six minutes of daily reading is more effective than listening to music or walking to cope with stress. American University has conducted research and recommended that when in difficult times in life, reading about the related subject induces to experience the character struggles in this book and proceed to practical life. Many people I know did. I I stayed up way too late reading this.

The plot and pacing in Ghost Town did not disappoint. If you need hell message me I love to help! Ich vergebe eine Punktzahl von 4 bis 5 Krümeltörtchen.

Und Eve erzählt verrückte Sachen, von Vampiren. Its a its an excellent series and can be enjoyed by all ages, speaking as someone who wishes she still 24, its well written and not a bit child like. Its a very popular series among grown ups its how I first heard about it. I also read and enjoyed the Vampire Academy and Bloodlines series I picked up the paperback and knew I'd like it after reading the first couple of pages. If you want escapist fun with an interesting premise, give it I picked up the paperback and knew I'd like it after reading the first couple of pages. If you want escapist fun with an interesting premise, give it a try. The characters are original enough to keep it interesting. Again, my objective -fun escapism- was thorougly satisfied. I read most of the books in the series, the quality and novelty wears off as the books go along. At least that's what happened from my point of view. Mostly I remember a lot of suspense and that fun immersed feeling. The vampire character Myrnin is a blast. I'm starting to remember just how much fun I had reading these. 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. 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 and sprained ankle, doesn't ask any questions. Claire's haus der vampire 10 to this life-threatening problem is to find another place to live, off campus. She finds an ad in a local paper in which 3 students are looking for a roommate. The 3 are nice people and they agree to take in Claire at least temporarily. In the new house she is told that the town they all live - Morganville - is run by vampires. The next day a cop comes to Claire's new residence, looking for her. Apparently, this cop is send by the mean girls who just the other day abused Claire and she is in a big-big trouble what. She wants to prove haus der vampire 10 independence to her parents. And why people agree to live in this backward, vampire-run town at all. But nobody in this book does. At this point all I could do was throw by hands up in the air and give up on this drivel. However, I am guessing, if you can tolerate this dumbness, you might end up enjoying the book. Many people I know did. I personally have a very low tolerance for stupid. This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, Alright, so let's do this hmm. I'm sorry let me explain. Girl thinks she's fucking invincible and ignores. I'm sorry let me explain. Girl thinks she's fucking invincible and ignores. And, they proceed to beat the crap out of her. Can you see where I'm going with this. Caine, you made Claire sooo intolerable. Ugh, like I can't even care enough about the damn storyline, because Claire irked me way too much. You proved yourself a kid by making so many obvious and dumbass decisions. Supposedly a chick with brains, she sure doesn't use it. The main character is an idiot, and all plot development in the story line requires that you suspend your disbelief about said idiocy. The main character is an idiot, and all plot development in the story line requires that you suspend your disbelief about said idiocy. She's also a studied psychopath who thinks it's perfectly okay to beat people up, attack them with beakers of acid, and then later set them on fire. You're probably wondering where the adults are in this book, because that's what I was wondering, but Claire stupidly lies to her parents and her friends about her safety, over and over, and a code of non-interference is built into the rules of Morganville, which is run by vampires, so no adults are ever going to look out for her safety. It's so early 2000s that it almost physically hurts, you guys. Her new friends tell her about how the town is run by vampires and this is arguably the most interesting aspect of the story, because I thought Caine did vampire politics in a relatively interesting way. The vampires own the city, and the cops. Important humans have Protection in the form of bracelets basically: do not bite and can carry over to family members, but like health insurance, expire when the wearer turns 18 yet another reason this story is dated - thanks, Obamacare. The best way to avoid being bitten is to stay off their radar, play by the rules, be home before curfew, and oh, yeah, don't invite them in. Garlic and crosses repel vampires. They can't be out in the sunlight unless they're very old or very powerful. They can't cross your threshold unless they've been invited in. Make no mistake, these are the evil kinds of vampires that your mom grew up with, and honestly, my personal favorite kind. The world building was something I had absolutely zero haus der vampire 10 with, and I kept thinking to myself what a shame it was that the main character was so freaking stupid. I just couldn't get on board with Claire. Her friends were okay, but their dialogue was very wooden and they didn't have much in the way of personality, either. What's wrong with writing a female character who's intelligent and cunning. Why does she have to be a vapid, spineless victim who does nothing but remind people that she's almost seventeen, cry, get herself almost murdered by at least three different people, and cry some more. A swarm full of friendly, happy bees have come to bring me honey. Rachel Caine, I thought you could do no wrong. Your Weather Wardens series is awesome. But, as it turns out. I fell really hard for this book. Honestly, I was disappointed at first. Who doesn't like a little neck biting action. But as the story progressed, it gave me something. But, as it turns out. I fell really hard for this book. Honestly, I was disappointed at first. Who doesn't like a little neck biting action. But as the story progressed, it gave me something. Why am I satisfied, you ask. For me to love books that are. I love that, but starting this series certainly made my heart pound in ways that are completely out of this world. But, I digress, my point is this: These books are a lot more adult. And are they honestly going to kill off one of my favorite characters brutally. Now, okay, I wouldn't be me if I didn't defend my darling males. You've got Shane and Michael. Michael is who everyone seems to like. I guess I did, too. But that's only because I let reviews influence me. From the very beginning it's clear that Shane is totally into Claire and he is going to be uber protective of her. He is nothing but sweet and kind and funny from the very beginning-And when things get serious, so does he. Michael is great, too, but. I don't see the large hype for him??. Other than loving him as a main character-I do, too. I guess I'm just still trying to figure that one out. Not trying to dwell on it. He came a step closer, and his bare feet and sweatpants came into her vision. Or, at least, in a long long time. I just am extremely enamored with how she writes the exchanges-sexy, sweet, swoony, and then there's how she explains the body. I just was very attracted to the way she described something as beautifully simple as kissing. It's like authors forget how to, you know?. I have very high hopes for, ahem, future endeavors hehe. God this review is so weird. I'm sorry guys-I'm sitting at work and going back and forth between work and writing this sad excuse for a review, so that's likely it. I'd rather post something rather than nothing at all so, well. I think a lot of people are missing out on this-Yes, it's silly. Yes, they get into some crazy situations. For more of my reviews, please visit: I am absolutely in love with this series. For me, it is a really big shame that i did not find it sooner. There is a lot that i could say about this first book in the series, and believe me i would if i could, but i would probably never stop talking and i would go over the haus der vampire 10 limit for reviews. First of all the story kicked off to a really good start. It was a thrilling and exciting first chapter. When i opened the book i saw that the chapters were like 20-30 pages long.

First of all the story kicked off to a really good start. It was a thrilling and exciting first chapter. When i opened the book i saw that the chapters were like 20-30 pages long. For me, i was really worried. It seems that all the books i read that have really long chapters, end up being really long, dull, boring books. It's like a jinx to me. But this book seems to of broken that pattern. But although they seems long, they were very fast to read. The is a lot going on in the book, and something excting happens in every chapter. How many books have i read and not liked the main character. But in all honesty, Claire is a likable character. Sure, she can be stupid at times, but that's just who she is, and it is that, that makes her so realistic and interesting character. I can see there is going to be a romance somewhere along the line, but it's not in the book as much as some book do. When it's in your face all the time. This book has the romance, but it is off to the side, keeping up with the storyline alongside. It's more about the problem rather then the romance, which don't get me wrong, i love a good romance book as much as the next person, it's just not made a big deal of The storyline is great, the style of writing is wonderful and the characters are loveable. It ended on a cliffhanger which is really annoying as i don't have the next book s yet, but i will soon. So let's talk a little about young adult paranormal fiction.

Part of what makes good horror an So let's talk a little about young adult paranormal fiction. Let's talk a little about suspension of disbelief. For the fantasy writer, suspension of disbelief is your best friend. Part of what makes good horror and good fantasy so compelling is that the non-fantastic parts feel real. To do this the introduction to your world has to have an internal and consistent logic. It has to make sense. For example: try to imagine the first episode of the X-files with a twenty-two-year-old, gum snapping, blonde in five inch heels and a tiny tank top instead of the lovely Gillian Anderson in the role of Scully. And now to tie this to Glass House. Claire, our main character, is a sixteen-year-old wunderkind, who whipped through high school in two years Although she tells us she got there a year early and ended a year soon, which adds up to three years of high school and two years of middle school, but hey, who's counting. Oh yeah, Claire, who told us she did it in two years. How smart is this girl again. Apparently they want to keep their sixteen-year-old baby close to home, but living in the dorm of a notorious party school. See at this point I'm already out of the story. I did finish high school a year early. You can't do that without mommy and daddy's help, which means mom and dad have to be on board with this whole getting a good education thing. And lets wrap this up with this idea: haus der vampire 10 you want your baby to be close because you're feeling protective of her, you are not going to let her live in the dorms of a party school. In the modern world, if mom and dad want you close after you've graduated high school, they can do this wonderful thing known as let you live at home and take courses online. In real life, most kids have the sort of parents who are actually trying to do well by them. So, the author wants a plot where Claire has to deal with human adversaries and supernatural ones. For whatever reason the author wants Claire to be sixteen. Sending her off to college early was an interesting twist on boarding school, and opens the potential for living off campus and getting into more contact with the supernatural baddies. She made Claire super smart because that increases friction with the human baddies. This book was written around 2008. It appears to be set around 2008 as well. The level of bullying Claire takes at both high school and college would easily get both institutions sued into bankruptcy. But of course, no one does anything like that, giving Claire the motivation to move out of haus der vampire 10 dorm, and into her new home with her new roommates. We didn't even get to the vampires, and I already don't believe this story. In fact, unless they're pink and sparkly which I've heard isn't true about this book I believe the vampires more than I do the set up for this book. The entire set up is a series of glowing neon plot devices for the purpose of putting the main character into the situation author wants her in. There is nothing subtle or elegant about the first few chapters of this book. Nothing that shows any real desire to engage in serious world building on the part of the author. In short, it's lazy, and has done nothing to make me want to learn more about what comes next. And so, Congratulations Glass House. Welcome to your shiny new spot on my Did Not Finish List. It just wasn't constructed or told very well. Some of the trimmings were haus der vampire 10 imaginative, but I doubt I'll look to hard for any other books by her. I was hoping this was an early book, but it seems that she's prolific enough that this is a pen name. If I run across another, I'll probably read it to see if Haus der vampire 10 like it any better, so she didn't completely turn me off. But now, 4 years later, I still like this when I can't even stand to read the first book of the other two series. The Morganville Vampires series has its problems. The writing needs a little effort to like and Clair 3. But now, 4 years later, I still like this when I can't even stand to read the first book of the other two series. The Morganville Vampires series has its problems. The writing needs a little effort to haus der vampire 10 and Claire is annoying as hell at the beginning and the 4 main characters are all a kind of immature, hormonal, wrecking ball. At the first 30% of the book you can clearly see that intelligence isn't always accompanied by mature and smart decisions. All that is good but then Claire starts making all the bad decisions her parents worried about. When she gets bullied and pushed down a flied of stairs which could have left her with a broken neck instead of calling her parents, or going to the police not that it would have done her much good in Morganville but she didn't know that yetshe tries to find somewhere off campus to live. When she goes to the Glass House to interview for the room she meets a bunch of crazy kids and instead of running as fast as she can and calling her parents, she spends the night. And then despite the fact that a crazy girl actually tried to kill her she goes to school and isn't even particularly careful. But things get better after a point. What makes this book special: In a time when vampires are the best thing after Brad Pitt and David Beckam, Rachel Caine avoids the cliche and tried methods and she doesn't romanticize her vampires. Vampires in Morganville are the bad guys, the monsters lurking in the dark. Vampires see humans as food and the cattle isn't supposed to fall in love with the wolf. Don't get me wrong, I love a good Vampire Love Story as much as the next girl but it's nice to have something different once in a while. We have a group of four friends that haven't all slept, kissed, made out with one another and they don't want to. Who everyone is attracted to becomes clear fast and for once not every guy in the neighborhoof is in love with the heroine. Eve, the actually cool friend, has her guy. Yes, the friend isn't some irrelevant character that isn't as awesome as the heroine. She is just as important and just as awesome. Claire hates Monica because Monica is a psychopathic bitch who actually tries to kill her, not steal her boyfriend or mock her clothing. So all in all this book is really good. I though of upping the rating to 4 but I know some of the next books deserve it more so I won't. 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 haus der vampire 10 ruled by vampires, until she makes some oh my god like totally cool and hottt friends. 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. The book has a slightly juvenile tone, which is ironic since the main character--a brainiac who is sixteen years old and in college--spends much of the book insisting that she's not a little kid. I feel like haus der vampire 10 lot of the events weren't really thought out and were there to move the story along without really considering the repercussions. Except that this book doesn't even go that far. Eventually, I kind of just gave up all hope for at least some bit of realism. Long story short, not all that great for a first book, but I've been told the series gets better, so I'll give the second book a try. I really, really liked this book. I don't know why it took me so long to start reading them, but I can tell you that once you start. I also need to mention the other roommate, Eve, who likes the whole Goth thing. Claire Danvers is enrolled in college rearly due to her haus der vampire 10 achievements. She's 16, nearly 17 which she likes to remind people. I really, really liked this book.

Claire Danvers is enrolled in college rearly due to her academic achievements. She's 16, nearly 17 which she likes to remind people. Her first day of school and she already has gotten herself on the bad side of a nasty, mean girl named Morgan and let me tell you, her character is so well written it makes you want to jump in the book and kick her butt yourself. Claire decides she can't live in the dorms for fear Morgan and her posse will end haus der vampire 10 killing her so she seeks out a roommate add. Upon her arrival at the Glass House, she meets her said roommates Shane, Michael and Eve. Life starts to get real complicated being in Morganville and the people in the town are on the creapy side. Claire, is a smart and determined little thing and she finds that life is nothing what it seems. She is faced with the ugly truth about life in Morganville and with the help of her new roommates they battle together to stay alive. The writing was easy to follow and didn't lead you astray. It keeps you in suspense and the story line flows so you get pulled into it. I just love the characters, even the secondary characters. Claire is awesome but I have to say, her two male roommates keep your toes warm. Maybe it's a good thing I jumped on the Morganville band wagon late. Claire is a sixteen year old brainiac, already in College. What normal girl likes physics. She gets badly beaten by a group of mean girls at campus who threaten to kill her. What normal girl likes physics. She gets badly beaten by a group of mean girls at campus who threaten to kill her. Looking for alternative accommodation, she goes to a house where three roommates are looking for a fourth one. Once there, she learns that there are dangerous vampires in Morganville, and that they basically run the city. Her roommates take her in after she promises not to cause any trouble for them. I so much wanted to drop this book after the first few chapters. She was right, it does. As much as I hated the initial setting, there were quite a few things that I appreciated later on. Took me a while to get into the writing. As soon as the plot took shape though I had no problem with it. That was so much fun, I seriously loved it. If you're a fan of The Vampire Diaries the show, not sure about the books since I haven't read them I think you will love this because it has a lot of the same elements: vampires. I seriously want to start a campaign to get this series made into a show. I'm really excited to start the next book in the series. After reading Twilight, I can't forgive myself of buying the expensive hardback set and for the punishment I won't read any paranormal books or vampire related books. But after I met this girl in Goodreads she recommended a lot of young adult paranormal books and I was like Huh. I met her last December, face-to-face, and I'm glad she include one of her vampire books. No doubt I grab it and hide it, I know nobody is interested in reading the book except me, the After reading Twilight, I can't forgive myself of buying the expensive hardback set and for the punishment I won't read any paranormal books or vampire related books. But after I met this girl in Goodreads she recommended a lot of young adult paranormal books and I was like Huh. I met her last December, face-to-face, and I'm glad she include one of her vampire books. No doubt I grab it and hide it, I know nobody is interested in reading the book except me, the girl and the other girl. Yes, both girls, I don't know why they liked to read this kind of books. This is better than Twilight, in my own opinion. First haus der vampire 10 I find it more realistic, I want the old tradition of vampires not the sparkling vampires. Although the author added some additional new formed vampire facts that I find it ridiculous. Second, 2 She included a ghost in the story, it's kinda weird but I find it interesting. Third, 3 No hardcore romance. Lastly, 4 I can relate to the protagonist of the book always being bullied by others. Don't pity me and I don't like somebody will look at me that I have major major problem in life. Almost the books that I've read bout college thing, they always have this protagonist that always been bullied, a nerd or something. Have they ever think of changing that concept. They are the queen bee of the school, like a bitch modeling there ugly bellies in the hallway as if they looked beautiful. So Claire, decided to find a new place, rules are rules, students who are below 18 or 20 are not allowed to find a new apartment or room outside campus. But Claire can't take it anymore, so she entered this weird house called Glass' House and met Eve, Shane and Michael. Eve, is a gothic girl who works in a bar and had this mysterious co-worker, Oliver. Shane, an experiment vampire who had a crush on Claire. While Michale, the owner of the house and a ghost, he usually the one who protects the place and he works as the Protector. They have been chased by the ugly vampires and the ugly Moniketes who are unbearable because of there spoiled attitude because of the lost book which contained the secrets of the vampires. The haus der vampire 10 I hate about this books is that the author always makes the character mysterious until the middle end of the story and it makes you busy thinking of the characters than reading the story. Like Shane and Oliver, you thought both of them are just simple characters or supporting ones but they had big roles in the ending. I thought the Glass' house looks like the house above. It was walled with mirror and windows. Don't blame me guys, but it was the author's fault, I don't know that it was Michael's surname. But I want to have one of those glass houses. Rating - Glass Houses by Rachel Caine, 2 Sweets and wishing those vampires with prosperous days of garlic and chili. Not bad for those people who really likes to try books that are far from there normal reading list. I recommend this to people who likes to read urban fanstasy, swear you wont regret it. Grabbed from Joyzi of Goodreads - Challenged: Book 7 for 2011 Book 5 for I found this one quite entertaining and engaging. More so than I expected to. I thought the story was an interesting concept and I love that the ending left me wanting to delve right into the next one-- literally ending in the middle of an action scene. I really like Claire, Eve, Shane and Michael as characters and I'm eager to see what happens to them next. I wish Claire wasn't quite so young-- I think that would be a little easier to swallow although nothing unsavory happened. There were quite I found this one quite entertaining and engaging.

Glass Houses is one of the books that I normally wouldn't read, but decided to anyway. You know, for the teens ;- Glass Houses is about Claire, a teenage genius who finds herself in college at the young age of sixteen. Claire is being bullied in the dorms by some fairly sociopathic girls that made me glad my dorm experience wasn't at all like this book. Bitches were scary, like they pushed Claire down a flight of stairs and that was just the warning. In fear for her life, Claire looks for another place to live off campus, and finds haus der vampire 10 at the Glass House. In the Glass House, a cross between Gone with the Wind's Tara and The Munsters design, Claire makes new roommates and friends with Eve, Shane and Michael. As time goes by, weird stuff begins to happen and the four of them must band together in order to survive. I ended up liking this a lot more than I thought I would. It's a fun read that I would recommend to the younger spectrum of teens. One of which being that if Claire was such a genius, why wasn't she smarter haus der vampire 10 her actions. I feel like there was something missing there. However, do not get me wrong I enjoyed the book and the colorful cast of Claire, Shane, Michael and Eve and the turmoil that seems to find them. It took me forever to locate this series. Everyone that had recommended the series to me was adult. I was expecting something completely different. After reading the first Chapter, I was 5 Stars: I know my reviews are usually non-descriptive this one may obtain spoilers in my rant. However, do not get me wrong I enjoyed the book and the colorful cast of Claire, Shane, Michael and Eve and the turmoil that seems to find them. It took me forever to locate this series. Everyone that had recommended the series to me was adult. I was expecting something completely different. After reading the first Chapter, I was shocked; I just cannot get over how they treat this young woman in the first 10 pages alone. This goes way beyond playground bulling. Moreover, this poor 16-year-old child has to face this abuse alone. I was disappointed in the narrative style of the book. What was the deal with them not wanting to believe that she was hurt. Hell I am a mother, I am sure I would have hit the roof and that bitch being over 18… I would have reacted first thought second. Yet, her parents…what the hell. At least Michael, Shane and Eve offered her an outlet away from Monica. Where her dumbass parents want to thrust her back. Oh my I need to stop ranting before everyone thinks I did not enjoy the book. I had to keep reading just to find out what Michael was and how the others would take it. Curiosity was what drew me into the story. The plot was not a dramatic and elusive. Therefore, I enjoyed a mindless entertaining read. I look forward to the series. My absolute favorite and will read again and again. The characters are wonderful and surprising and multi-dimensional. The writing is luring, engaging, and well-crafted enough to keep me interested from cover to cover and beyond. The plot is astonishing with twists and turns weaved into a well thought and planned story. Predictability is at an all-time low. With the exception of series based books that follow the same path but are just as good. Overall, Favorite, must read again, recommend!!. This story, these characters; they've totally hooked me. It is another vampire story, but it doesn't seem rehashed to me at all. Maybe it was the characters, the creepy twists, or just the fantastic narrative voice. Claire Danvers is having a heck of a time at her crummy dorm. A smart, ordinary girl trying to rough it at her Texas college away from home, she is constantly harassed, sometimes to the point of serious injury, by the vicious cliques of popular girls.

But will the four of them be enough to face the terrifying world bent on keeping them from causing any more trouble, no matter what the cost. This book was simple and fast-paced, and the main characters caught and held me immediately with their quirks, kindness, humor, loyalty, and realism. I can't wait to see them again in the next book. There's math to haus der vampire 10 stars. Here goes: +1 for being written by Rachel Caine, right off the bat. I genuinely enjoyed Ill Wind; it was a creative, rip-roaring five-chapter venture into a new kind of urban fanatasy, and it was cool. I didn't even mind the hot tub scenes, and the ending was acceptable. I've also read one of Ms. Caine's short stories set in Morganville, in an anthology, and thought it was interesting and that I'd like to know more about the series.

I should mention here that no, I'm not an expert on vampire mythology, but I have read Dracula. Shane I saw coming a long way off, though that's probably thanks to that short story, but haus der vampire 10 a while I thought Caine was going to draw it out over a few books and just give him a protector complex in this one. Eve was pretty cool- I think she was my favorite, just because she was abnormal but she was so much more normal in terms of how she functioned in society than Shane or Michael. Okay, so I know it sounds dumb, but it's a small book and it took me about half a day, all told- actually considerably less, now that I think about it. And given the minuses, this is a very good thing. We are told that she finished highschool in two years which, by the way, means a lot of summer classes if her school is anything like mine and that Ivy League colleges were practically begging at her feet. Her parents- including her dad, who she later thinks of in a way that convinced me he's very focused on her academics- wouldn't let her go there because she was 'too young'. Instead, her parents ignore the fact that prestigious colleges will probably do whatever they ask to get their daughter there, up to and including any special supervision they might want to feel she's safe, and decide to enroll her in the idiotically named Texas Prarie University. There, instead of being, say, in some sort of small Honors-only housing complex, she's on the top floor in the worst rooms of the worst dorms. Way to go, protective parents; you've put your daughter in StupidSchool and, moreover, the rattiest part of it. So, how'd that one work out. In this case, this would be up to and including stealing Claire's laundry and pushing the girl down several flights of stairs. And absolutely no one will stand up to this mean girl- Monica- from the other students to the administration to the town police. If people like this were as common as books about highschool and college make them seem, no one would make it out alive. I mentioned that the town police won't stand up to Monica. We know this because later they show up on her side- not because Claire calls them. Worst they can do is make you wait a few years to go to one haus der vampire 10 the Ivies. Take online courses, get a job, or something. And by the way, if her parents were looking for a place where their little girl would be safe, why did they pick Morganville. Even from the descriptions Claire gives in passing, it sounds like a nasty place, certainly not somewhere an overprotective parent would want their sixteen year-old. Also, Claire does not seem to be taking English courses. Odd, for someone who claims to be well-versed in the classics. And that's another thing- she's casually arrogant about being smart. Caine, are haus der vampire 10 supposed to believe Claire is smart because she puts down all these other people. Are we supposed to accept that just because she thinks- thinks, and has no real reason to know- they don't know something, they actually don't. She's not even snooty, which I could live with- she's just utterly convinced of her own superiority, and it comes out in annoying little moments. There was a nice denoument, and then another chapter. Thinking this would continue the nice denoument, I walked into this backhanded trap blindly. This is worse than leaving the action at a critical point Phillip Pullman and Bruce Coville are both guilty - both are shameless ways to make sure you read the next book, but at least leaving the action doesn't feel grasping. Will I read the series. That ending pissed me off too much, and when the last impression I have of a book is anger, I have no reason to continue. It seems I read a lot of vampire books these days. I really liked two and third is currently being read, so we'll see.

I liked most of the characters and everything went smoothly. Though it did end on a major cliffhanger, which I really don't like. Don't kill my sweety, please. I liked world building and the whole story of vampires running the whole city. What I didn't like is how the author made some characters seem complitely irrational. She wants to kill Claire just because she made her look stupid in front of her crowd. I get that her pride was crushed, but really. To kill a girl just because of it. And not to mention she set fire to Shane's house, which unintentionally I hope killed his little sister. She just seemed really ridiculous sometimes and I really laughed one or two times when she said something stupid. The romance is nothing like I wanted it to be. I wanted Claire to be with Michael, for god's sake. I don't like Shane, okay. I don't feel anything towards him and I find him rather boring. Eve is really a sweetheart and I'm happy she found her happiness, but just not with the guy I wanted her to be!!!!!!. I really want to know what happens next. I hope Shane's dad won't do much damage on new-found truce between vampires and Glass Housers. Why Glass Houses is a good book and you should give it a try Let me start by giving thanks to my dear friend Alk who forced me to give this book a try. You can probably blame it on the cover and on all those negative reviews that are going around Goodreads. Speaking of which, I need to clear out a few things. There are many people in my Goodreads friend list who absolutely love this book. And there are others who loathe the mer Why Glass Houses is a good book haus der vampire 10 you should give it a try Let me start by giving thanks to my dear friend Alk who forced me to give this book a try.

There haus der vampire 10 many people in my Goodreads friend list who absolutely love this book. And there are others who loathe the mere sight of it. Now, call me an asshole but I thought that the people who loved Morganville Vampires are overreacting, and that the ones who hate it are right to do so. Ones who were not ever going to be hot. And face it, being hot. That was what life was all about. This quote can be found in the first chapter of the book. Do you see why so many haus der vampire 10 dropped it without a second thought. Let me give you a piece of advice. Would you actually do it. Did I ever have thoughts similar to this. Anyways, back to my point. It seems a bit too harsh to judge Glass Haus der vampire 10 according to this quote only. Claire is one fucked up character, and I love her for it. And oh gosh can Rachel Caine write her shit. Would I recommend this to you. Are you haus der vampire 10 Urban Fantasy. Do you care about your characters feeling real no Mary Sues. Do you shy away from violence and cruelty. Would you mind reading a long series. Morganville Vamps has all that, and more. So think carefully before making your decision. I, for one, liked it a lot. There were some parts of the story that dragged on a bit too much, but the rest was badass. Oh, and one final thing before I end the review. Morganville Vampires haus der vampire 10 13 published books, and 2 more that will be published in 2013. Review also posted on This was a really quick, fun read and whilst it may not have technically ticked all the boxes I enjoyed it immensely. It's engaging, dark and tense, kind of 'Mean Girls' meets supernatural world.

It's engaging, dark and tense, kind of haus der vampire 10 Girls' meets supernatural world. Haus der vampire 10 is haus der vampire 10 16 year old brainiac attending college in Morganville Texas, a small town where vampires rule the roost, and there's nothing 'nice' about these vamps. When Claire gets on the wrong side of Monica, queen bitch bee of college, and her life is threatened she desperately seeks off-campus housing at the Glass House. Owned by the mysterious Michael Glass, Claire's other roomies include Eve, a rebellious goth with a caring nature and sarcastic, funny-guy Shane; a highly entertaining mix. Most of the humans in Morganville have a vampire patron meaning they're protected, but the teens of Glass House are different, they're unprotected by choice and hence. Claire and her friends make a deal with the devil to give themselves any chance of survival in 'creepyville' and what follows is a page-turning ride. Just when you think you've got the plot all pegged, Michael's reveal is a tingly surprise. I have it on good authority from Hannah Changing My Definition of Life that this is a series worth continuing on with and she'd know. Hannah read the entire series in a Rachel Caine read-a-fest one week and loved them. Thanks to the cliffhanger ending in Glass Houses and Hannah's enthusiasm I'll be ordering, not just the next book, The Dead Girl's Dance, but as many as I can afford :- Oh my freaking word. I know what I said. I know what I said. I started reading Glass Houses with next to zero expectations, ready to roll my eyes at the merest mention of a handsome, broody vamp and a swooning sixteen-year old girl falling in love with aforementioned vamp. Then Claire moves into this old, old-world-charm house with Michael, Shane and weirdo but very sweet Eve, and the mystery intensifies. Before I even got to haus der vampire 10 vampire part of the story, I already had all sorts of suspicions about these three housemates allowing Claire to board with them. I loved the characters, with Michael being my favorite, and Haus der vampire 10, Shane and Claire a close second. Amazingly and thankfully Claire is a strong character who can stand up for herself, even though her decisions are sometimes impulsive. I have a strong suspicion her character is going to be kicking serious butt by the end of the series. Rachel Caine has given me everything I hate in a book, but she turned it upside down into everything I love to read. I hate reading about vampires because the female lead is always falling in love with it. In Glass Houses, the female lead is everything I want her to be, flaws and all. I love action in books, but am not too big on too much romance, and this book had exceptional action scenes in the final chapters that trumped the little bit of romance there was ten love. Overall, Glass Houses ended up having all my haus der vampire 10 story elements in it, and overnight turned me into a Rachel Caine super-fan. Nothing romantic or cuddly about them. Heck, even if you don't love all of those things, I'm pretty sure you'll love Glass Houses. How did I not pick this series up sooner. Heck, even if you don't love all of those things, I'm pretty sure you'll love Glass Houses. 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 why. Could it be the young adult story, told with a writing style that is similar to those found in adult novels. Could it be the adorable easy-to-love easy-to-hate characters. Could it be the fast paced plot packed with real, dangerous vampires. The answer is yes, it could be all of the above. Let's begin with the characters. I adore the main character Claire. I found her so easy to relate to and I thought she was pretty much everything a main character should be. Eve, Shane and Michael are three other main characters who I would honestly die for at this point. We all need a best friend like Eve and guys like Shane and Michael in our lives. I don't want to say much more about them, because discovering these four people were one of the things that made this book amazing. Now, we'll move onto the plot. It's been quite some time since I've read a real vampire book. And I mean real in two different ways. Vampires are not trying to sneak in your room and cuddle you in your sleep, they're trying to suck your blood. The way the plot moved was very realistic and if I found out vampires existed, this would present a scenario that would make it easily believable. I loved that when you got a sense of a vampire, your first sense was fear in this book. Young adult novels seemed to have forgotten that vampires were once blood-sucking demons, even if they are schmexy. I could rant and rave about how much I loved this book all day, but I will spare you. There is one last thing I wanted to talk about though. You're crazy if you don't pick this book up. Now I'm compelled to run off and invest in the other 6 books that are waiting for me at the bookstore. Very much a predicament when you have so many unread books sitting on your bookshelf, but that's just how good this series is. The characters were engaging and interesting, the writing I am hooked on the Morganville Vampire series. Now I'm compelled to run off and invest in the other 6 books that are waiting for me at the bookstore. Very much a predicament when you have so many unread books sitting on your bookshelf, but that's just how good this series is. The characters were engaging and interesting, the writing was bold and refreshing, and the vampire lore was unique and. Great combo in a book from all aspects. About the book: Claire Danvers has just started her freshman year of college, and it's not going so well. She's been targeted by the dorm beeyotch and her minions who have managed to rough her up pretty bad, so she clears out and starts looking for alternative housing and pretty much a safe haven. That's when she comes across Michael, Shane and Eve who reside in the Glass House. As she forges more than just a friendship with Michael, Shane and Eve, she quickly comes to realize they must bond together to protect one another from the baddies and the dangers they are faced. What a great kick-off to what I know is an awesome series. I can't wait to jump into the next book and see where the storyline goes. Definitely a book I'd feel comfortable recommending to my fellow avid readers who are fans of paranormal and all that is vampiric and gothic. Put on a little Blue October and grab yourself a bowl of chili a-la-Shane haus der vampire 10, and you've got yourself a great little set up. I love the instant chemistry the four friends have. Claire, Eve, Michael and Shane are all great, great characters. The writing is stylish and the plot and wit of it all is so much fun. I love finding new series to love, and The Morganville Vampires Series is just the blast that I needed!.
