Release Date: 2006
Synopsis:
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.
Thoughts:
Uh, what? You expect me to be okay with a girl who's threatened to be killed and instead of running in the opposite direction, just stays? No. Unacceptable. Not just unacceptable, immensely stupid. The protagonist is supposed to be a very smart girl, yet she does this. There is no way I can fully enjoy a book where the main character does something that DUMB. After someone tells her to stay away from the place where the most danger lies, she says "I can't!" Agh. There are other ways of achieving her goal to go to an Ivy League school, but she's obviously an idiot. Don't even get me started about the main antagonist (seriously Rachel Caine? Come on!). The protagonist obviously had a death wish. I was also not a huge fan of the love story. It felt like it was just thrown in there. I just didn't "see" any chemistry between the two folks.
Even though I had those irksome issues with the book, I'm still compelled to read the next book in the series, but I won't be dying to read it. I just hope the story gets better. It does have a lot of potential and I did like the characters. I'm curious about what other "adventures" they'll go through.
In this book, you will find vampires, ghosts, and a bit of nonsense. Kind of like a tween pg-13 so-so movie that you can't help but get curious about anyway even though you know you won't love it.
"Damn, Claire. Warn a guy before you do a face-plant on the floor next time. I could have looked all heroic and caught you or something." hehe
