What this book is about

Sixteen-year-old Claire Danvers, bullied by older students at TPU, moves into a rundown off-campus house with three eccentric housemates: Michael, Shane, and Eve. She quickly learns that Morganville, Texas, is an ancient vampire town where humans live under protection deals—the Glass House being one of the few safe zones. Caine's long-running YA vampire series is fast-paced, atmospheric, and smartly plotted, with a heroine who survives by brains rather than power.
