Claire Danvers faces more challenges from both college and the undead in thissecond entry in the Morganville Vampires series.

he story continues where Glass Houses left off with the arrival of Shane's dad who has brought some friends with him in stopping the vampires. Things get worse for Eve when she hears that someone she obviously does not want to see may be in town. Also that Shane has been captured after the death of one of the vampires. With help from a vampire name Sam they must think of a way to help Shane. Which brings Michael to make a decision. All the while Claire finds she's invited to the Dead Girl's Dance and the reason behind it...

College should be an exciting time, but for brainy 16-year-old Claire Danvers that's too mild a word. Due to advanced placement, Claire can start college early, but her parents refuse to allow her to go to the distant Ivy League school of her dreams. She goes to Texas Prairie University where she is tormented by the popular girlsbut that's the least of her worries. Morganville, home of the university, is also home to vampires and vampire hunters. Claire finds protection from the horrors of the town in the Glass House with three fellow outcasts, Goth girl Eve, rebellious Shane, and Michael, who disappears during the day. Claire falls for Shane and would do anything to protect her friends, including facing down bloodthirsty vampires and dangerous bikers. Rachel Caine's first two books (Penguin, 2006, 2007) in the series flesh out the characters and the setting, allowing listeners to really visualize the town. These suspenseful titles are filled with violence, language, and sensual situations.
