This was definitely a really quick, easy read. And that's no doubt due to Rachel Caine's lovely writing. Every sentence flowed so easily, hence quick and easy, and there was nothing that confused me. I adore the whole idea of Morgaville, and yet am a tad creeped out at the same time! Mainly the fact that the whole town is run by vampires, and everyone that lives there has to be ‘protected'. The whole deal with Michael and Glass House is, in my opinion, brilliant and felt completely believable.
Regarding the characters, I admit there are some that could have had a bit more depth, but no doubt that shall be explored in the following 11 books! I really liked Claire's character, the fact that she is bright (and has read Wuthering Heights) made me warm to her. But, I feel that she was really naive most of the time. Ok, I get that she was bound to get herself into danger living in a town full of vamps but it felt like at every possible turn, she was putting herself in deliberate danger for sometimes absolutely no reason, and having to rely on someone else to get her out of it. That's probably my only qualm with the book though, and I look forward to reading the others in the series.
Overall, a pretty damn good read :)
