Personal Thoughts
Fast paced, well written and entertaining. The author manages to create strong, interesting characters, and despite her main being only 16 years old, Claire is able to carry the reader through the strange twists and turns of Morganville vampire politics.
Her room mates are quite interesting and I enjoyed learning of Michael's secret and how the vampires have affected all their lives. It is aimed as a teen, YA read, however, I found it quite mature enough to keep me interested.

There are violent story elements in the plot, but not in-depth. The ending is left on a cliff hanger, very frustrating, but did leave me eager to read the next book.
