Synopsis from goodreads

While developing a new system to maintain Morganville’s defenses, student Claire Danvers discovers a way to amplify vampire mental powers. Through this, she’s able to re-establish the field around this vampire-infested Texas college town that protects it from outsiders.

But the new upgrades have an unexpected consequence: people inside the town begin to slowly forget who they are-even the vampires. Soon, the town’s little memory problem has turned into a full-on epidemic. Now Claire needs to figure out a way to pull the plug on her experiment- before she forgets how to save Morganville…

I simply adore this series! Above everything I adore the friendship between Claire, Shane, Michael and Eve. How they watch out for each other and the light and fun way they interact. Always teasing each other but still you feel the love. This is the best part in the series – the friendship! I laughed so often about the those 4 and how they constantly have word battles…

Ok onto the story …

he’s my perfect vision of
Myrnin!!!!

We are back in Morganville and in the beginning all seems easy going, which would be a new thing for Morganville. But then Claire and Shane run to rescue Eve from a Party and suddenly Claire finds herself looked in Myrnins Lab to finish the work on the “machine” . The machine that takes the memory from people that leave and tries to keep them leaving in the first place.

Myrnin is the craziest character ever and I love him, in a weird way 😉

But then Claire realizes that something is off with the people and she thinks the machine is causing it. People loose their memory and forget about the last 3 years. This is not only sad but dangerous! Claire has to act fast, but again Vampire politics come in the way. Then her friends loose their memory too and Clair is alone. This was the heartbreaking part of the story, when all begin to loose their memory and Claire is all alone.

Bottom Line

I’m totally in love with those books and the next one can’t come soon enough. If you haven’t pick them up yet, why waiting? Start with Glass House and get lost in the crazy world of Morganville! All of the books are fun and quick reads and definitely worth your time!

Please check out my review about the series, where I short reviewed all the books out so far. I’m sure there are other late-bloomers like me.
