    When Claire Danvers learned that her college town was run by vampires, she did what any intelligent, self-preserving freshman would do: She applied for a transfer and stocked up on garlic. The transfer is no longer an option, but that garlic may come in handy.
    Claire’s college town may be run by vampires but a truce between the living and the dead made things relatively safe. For a while. Now people are turning up dead, a psycho is stalking her, and an ancient bloodsucker has proposed private mentoring. To what end, Claire will find out. And it's giving night school a whole new meaning.
(summary taken from Goodreads & Amazon)

    Now everybody in town has realized that Claire is a big player despite her small stature thing have only gotten more complicated for her. She has to be prepared for just about anything and take private lessons with an insane vampire, Myrnin. Oh Myrnin is my new favorite character without a doubt-to bad there is also no doubt that I am no where near smart enough to receive lessons from him. (yep, thats the problem,not that he’s fictional) Yet again the story is getting more developed and another problem has been tackled and solved. I love how you can read just about any of these earlier books and understand it pretty much each book is a separate story but they are all adding up to something much more.
    Yet again 4 stars. This is without a doubt a series I wish I could talk about to people and I do plan on rereading it several more times  so there is no doubt about its rating. I do genuinely hope to be able to by the UK versions of this series one day and just have them stay on my bookshelves until I die. Maybe I’ll go put that on my bucket list and then read the next book. But before that I need to think about Myrnin some more.

    Oh and while I was searching for fan art of Myrnin I cam across this which I thought was kinda awesome. The artist is a called NekoMelchiah on DeviantArt and can be found here : http://nekomelchiah.deviantart.com/ I really like this pic although it doesn't completely match up with the Myrnin in my mind I loved seeing hers.
