Glass Houses
Rachel Caine
- Reading
- Try the opening together, then check whether the mix of college relationships and vampire danger feels engaging or too tense; decide together whether to continue.
- Themes
- Vampires and power: Morganville is said to be run by vampires who seek blood, and Claire is initially unaware of this. The book’s stance on this remains unclear.
- Tensions among young people: Claire has got on the wrong side of Monica and has three new roommates, each said to have secrets. These details establish social uncertainty, but not whether the conflicts are challenged, resolved or made worse.
- Worth knowing
- The setup includes a threatening vampire presence and references to seeking blood. How frightening or graphic these elements become is unclear.
