When Claire Danvers learnt that her college town was run by vampires, she did what any intelligent, self-preserving student would do: she applied for a transfer and stocked up on garlic. The transfer is no longer an option, but the garlic may come in handy.
Now Claire has pledged herself to Amelie, the most powerful vampire in town. The protection her contract secures does little to reassure her friends. All of a sudden people are turning up dead, a stalker resurfaces from Claire's past, an an ancient bloodsucker extends a chilling invitation for private lessons in his secluded home.
Review:
I love this series of books, from the first few pages of the first book, I was hooked straight away, and that isn't easy for me (two times to finish Twilight). I love the character of Claire because it shows that intelligence isn't bad if you have your friends and even though your friends are as crazy and weird, it doesn't matter because they are your friends in tough situations. I mean, a goth girl with a serious problem with her brother, a newly turned vampire who acts like your older brother and your boyfriend has a problem with your other house mates, all vampires, your arch enemy and his dad and sometimes with you when you got yourself into trouble.
I love how this book gives two different views of vampires without going anywhere neat the Twilight view. You can be good and drink from blood bags or you can be bad and go for the humans without protection.
I love the characters, I love the plot, I love the setting. I love the Morganvilles.
