    From the author of the popular Weather Warden series comes the debut of an exciting new series set in Morganville, Texas, where you would be well advised to avoid being out after dark.

    College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation. When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new roommates don't show many signs of life, but they'll have Claire's back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood. Will she be able to face the town's terror or will she drown like everyone else? (Summary taken from Goodreads)

    Okay, since i have already read this book at least 4 times and still like it and plan on keeping it around I am more than comfortable giving it a 4 star Crave & Covet rating. I I really love this book its definitely one of my favorite series to just kick back with. Ive always loved Claire; she just feels so natural to me and I feel close to her. Even when she irritates me-she is like family to me. Next is Eve; oh dear Eve, how I wish i had a friend like you. If you ever leave Morganville in your rearview mirror look me up and we can go shopping together.Shane…seems fun. I feel like he's the friend of a friend who i like but could live without. Or back to the family notion, I thought he was somewhat cool and he sparked my interest until he started getting far to close to my little sister. Now its on! [Fight!] Now Michael Glass  <3 <3 <3  Though I really like Eve I would try to fight her for him. I would like to just chill out and watch him writing songs or playing on that guitar…*goes into dreamland for a bit then comes back* Eve don't hate me because I wanna steal your man.
    So if I were to tell you that one of the things I love about this book/series was the characters would you be surprised? Well if so - Surprise! because I love the characters even the so called villains have a piece of my heart. From the inhabitants of the Glass house to the vampires Amalie and Oliver the characters are all interesting and complex.
    Then theres the background, the established society in the town, the possible reasons for it even the delicate balance between humans and vampires. All of it is just so interesting and  really gets me curious. I love enjoy the way its written and find everything very interesting throughout the book.
    In conclusion I loved it. I will probably keep rereading this series when the details start to fade for years to come. If you love vampires for more than the main reason (they are totally hot) this is for you. However beware- as it is with potato chips just one probably wont be enough.
