THE STORY SO FAR . . .
Claire Danvers was going to Caltech. Or maybe
MIT. She had her pick of great schools ... but her parents were a
little worried about sending a wide-eyed sixteen-year -old into
such a high-pressure world. So they compromised and sent her to a
safe place for a year—Texas Prairie University, a small school
located in Morganville, Texas, just an hour or so from their
home.
One problem: Morganville isn’t what it seems.
It’s the last safe place for vampires, and that makes it not
very safe at all for the humans who venture in for work or school.
The vampires rule the town . . . and everyone who lives in
it.
Claire’s second problem is that she’s gathered
enemies, major ones, human and vampire. Now she lives with
housemates Michael Glass (newly made a vampire), Eve Rosser (always
been Goth), and Shane Collins (whose absentee dad is a vampire
killer). Claire’s the normal one . . . or she would be, except that
she’s deep into the secrets of Morganville. She’s become an
employee of the Founder, Amelie, and befriended one of the most
dangerous, yet most vulnerable, vampires of them all—Myrnin.
And just when she thinks things can’t get any
worse . . . they have.
Amelie’s vampire father has come to town, and
he’s not happy.
When Daddy’s not happy . . . nobody’s
happy.
