Okay so everyone who knows me knows I talk about The Morganville Vampire Series by Rachel Caine about a hundred times a day, so I thought I might as well do a little post on them because everyone needs to know how freaking amazing this books are. Years ago I got the first book Glass Houses free in a magazine and never pasted much heed of it then one day I decided to read it and boy am I glad I did, TMVS is actually hard to put into words how good it is. Its not like a scary vampires rolling through the night attacking people kind of book, don't get me wrong that does happen but it is also a deep story where you fall in love with characters and also have a deep full hate for others *cough Brandon cough*. From the moment I finished the first book I searched everywhere for the next ones and found them in the Library which was great at first but I probably freaked out the Liberian by how much I took out the same books so after saving I got the whole collection (fifteen) on amazon, which I started straight away tucking into and spent hours on end reading them which I loved because I didn't have to wait to see what happens I just picked up the next book. That's the thing about this series you can not put them down I spent nights up in the dark with a torch (probably not a good idea, being vampires and all) because each time I got to a new chapter I couldn't wait I had to read on always saying "just one more chapter" ending up "Might as well finish the book". So without spoiling the series, because I know your gonna have to go and read them now life isn't accomplished unless you have read this series, I will tell you the basics. Clare Danvers your typical, hate to use it 'science nerd' is so far advance in the school department that she goes to college at just sixteen. Being sixteen her parents don't allow her to go to one of the big colleges in the city so it is settled she goes to Texas Prairie University in Morganville (basically a crap school before you even mention vampires). After getting beat up by self appointed Queen of Morganville Monica and her back up wannabes Gina and Jenifer, Claire decides to move off campus and finds the residents of the Glass House Michel (Glass), Eve and Shane all high school friends looking for a roommate. Eventually its decided Claire is part of the Glass House family and that is one thing I love about this series she fits in so well and its hard to think how the others life's would have played out if she hadn't been a part of it. I know what your thinking what could possible happen to have taken fifteen books to finish the series but we haven't even introduced the best part yet. The town is run by vampires. Actually correction the town was created and built for and by the vampires and only exists to accommodate the vampires. Why have a college and a busy community in a place full of vampires?? well they do need food. Of course though the vampires aren't greedy people, the Morganville residents are what the vampires like to call it 'Protected'. Each person or family is assigned to a vampire and given protection against being hunted. Oh no that doesn't mean they don't give blood or taxes as its called in Morganville. Yup in Morganville you pay your taxes by giving blood every so often. So that's it then you all caught up, but your probably wondering what it is that has me so hooked on these books. Well its Rachel Caines amazing way of creating the MV world, that and the fact that each book has a new and well dreadful adventure for the Glass household to overcome. Weathers its Ameile (founder of Morganville), Bishop (Amelie's father) or the Draug (something the vampires aren't quite fond off), Claire and the gang have to work together.. that or be dead.
