Summary

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….

Love the Morganville series.

I've already read all the books, so naturally I looked forward to hearing them.
The story as always was excellent, but the narration was a bit weak and the portrait of Claire, made her sound about 6.
Keeping my fingers crossed this improves.

Overall a easy book to listen to, and Rachel Caine is a brilliant writer.

The Glass House

The Glass House is the first this series and had me hooked from page 2. A town where vampires are the elders and offer protection to families. Poor Claire didn't know anything about town and came to go to the university.
Have a listen or a read and I'm sure you will enjoy it.
Thank you Rachel Caine RIP 2020 x

New to audible

I love a series with cliffhangers, it's so hard to stop listening,
It starts with a girl who's 16 named Claire, she's a very clever lass and going to a new school as she's a few years ahead.
She finds herself getting bullied to the max, she left school campus to find somewhere else and thats the beginning of new friendships and a whole lot of trouble in a town of rules and Vampires.

Good Story but painful narrator

The story itself was good, but the narrator had the most irritating voice, spoke far too slowly and it was hard to differentiate between the characters. I would have carried on with the series but for them. Also the book leaves the story on a knife edge - trying to force you to buy the next one, I don't mind a general underlying ongoing story (necessary for a series) but not a life or death moment.

Ruined by narrator

I love this series but this was absolutely destroyed by the narration. Emotionless, robotic, jarring and just annoying. Could only stand 10 minutes. Makes the voice sound like children instead of college kids. So disappointed as I love the story.

a fun story well written and performed

Would you consider the audio edition of Glass Houses: The Morganville Vampires, Book 1 to be better than the print version?

on par with the print version. a very entertaining story wonderfully performed, A different voice for characters makes it very easy to follow.

What did you like best about this story?

what i like best about the story is the originality of it. the characters are really well thought out. the story's slow but interesting which escilades towards the end

Which scene did you most enjoy?

the scene i most enjoyed is Claire's first meeting with Amelie. it's a very dark atmosperic scene.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the book can be quite moving when Claire's bullied by Monica and her friends which leads to the story

Any additional comments?

the story, although slow at times is like a rollercoaster ride, funny, sad and a lot of suspence. i love Rachels writing style, simple but effective. the thought into the characters is top class, and there's some really good characters who Katherine brings across to the audience really well. a really good listen, which i listen to again and again..

did not like the narrator much, I think it would have been better with a deeper voice and more emotion

slow start

listened to this just finished. it's slow starting and the narrator seems to emphasise words oddly in her tone, I'm not too keen on her, but once the story got going and you get more used to the narrators voice it's a great story! unique and unlike anything I've read or heard. I would recommend it!
