The Glass House has a room to spare. Each of the three residents has their own tragic past, but the most fascinating one is Michael Glass's. I'm not often shocked or surprised in fiction, but Michael managed it - my favourite character by far. For readers fed up with vampires as love interests, you'll be pleased that Morganville's vampires are wonderfully creepy. Claire is too smart for me to relate to, but what she does in the library's fourth floor room is chemically awesome. Science for the win! Eve is witty, but her Goth look pisses me off - like she's putting on a show instead of revealing her true self. That usually shites me in fiction, so this probably isn't a big deal. Shane is your typical teenage love interest - hot, affable, and with a mysterious past.

All in all, it'll be interesting to follow the dynamics between the vampires and the humans, and to uncover the full secrets of Morganville.]]>
