Book Review: Glass Houses by Rachel Caine *SPOILERS*

Glass Houses is the first book in the Morganville Vampires Series. I really enjoyed this book and I am buddy reading the series with Heather. (One of my friends on Goodreads). This was a reread and I really did enjoy rereading the book.

Characters: 3.5 stars
Claire: I kinda hated Claire because, she was really smart, but, she could be so dumb at times. Like, Shane warned her not to go out at night. She goes out, nearly gets hurt and then wonders why she keeps getting hurt at night! SHANE TOLD YOU DIMWIT!!
Shane: Now, Shane was one awesome character. I know a lot of people don't like Shane but personally, I freaking loved him! He is like my number 3 book boyfriend. (Brandon Roberts from Dork Diaries: Tales From A Not-So-Fabulous Life by Rachel Renee Russell is number one) He really looked out for Claire and [when he kissed Claire I literally jiggled in my bed because I was that happy for them!
Michael: Michael is my number 2 book boyfriend. I LOVED Michael and how he was really cautious about letting Claire stay because him and Eve and Shane were all 18 or older and she was 16. 
Eve: Eve was a awesome goth and I loved her. She really cared for Claire, Michael and Shane. even though her and Shane fight a lot she still cares for him because they are like brother and sister.
Amelie: we meet Amelie later on but, she is really awesome and kick-butt!
Oliver: Douche.
Brandon: Idiot.
Monica and the Monickettes: I hated Monica and Gina, but, I kinda liked Jennifer, because she seemed almost reluctant to do what Monica said but she was scared to get beaten up so she went with it. 
Shane's Dad and his Biker Crew: A bunch of mucked up idiots!

Plot: 5 stars
I like the idea of the plot. read the synopsis if you want, but, I am going to summarize the book. Claire Danvers is a new student in Morganville, a place run by vampires. Claire gets bullied by a girl called Monica. One day, Monica takes it too far and pushes Claire down the stairs. Claire moves out and she moves into the Glass House. Then everything starts from there. It is a lot more interesting then I am making it sound I promise you that!

The ending: 
Shane's dad comes to murder all the vampires because they murder Shane's mum and sister, Alyssa. Shane's dad thinks that Michael is a vampire and stabs him!

Overall rating: 4.5 stars!! 
8.5 out of 10 stars.
