    I woke up very early and lay in bed for ages hoping to go back to sleep. It wasn't meant to be, so at half past four I got up, made myself a cup of tea and snuggled up on the sofa with 'Tell Tale' an absorbing and compelling book by Sam Hayes. I had to drag myself away from it to go to a 'do' this afternoon. I will have it finished by tomorrow night. :)

     

    I have just ordered this from Amazon, thank you Chrissy for pointing me in this books direction.

    "Glass Houses: Morganville Vampires Book 1" by Rachel Caine

     

    Book Description (amazon.co.uk)

     

    College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation, where the popular girls never let her forget just where she ranks in the school’s social scene: somewhere less than zero. 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 come out fighting when the town’s deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood…

     

    Personal Note: I was reticent to begin this series, as I’m not a huge fan of vampire books. Since it came highly recommended from a friend who’s also recommended some other good books to me, I decided to give the first book of the series a try and it was great! I read it in less than a day, could barely put it down. It’s fast paced, packed with action, well written and I really like the characters. I was worried this would be another “Twilight” which I’ll be honest and say I was not impressed by at all, but I found the writing in Glass Houses much better. The characters actually have more of a background story and their emotions and reactions make sense. Plus I already have a tiny crush on Shane and Michael ;) Looking forward to reading the next volumes of the series.

     

     

    Looking forward now to reading these from your review, thank you.
