Make sure you are in the mood for something dark before you start this book. You can trip into trouble easily in a town run by vampires, as our main character discovers. Claire gets on the wrong side of the most psychotic girl in university and it's only her first term. Things only escalate from there. 

I read this ages ago, but had forgotten most of it, and could hardly put it down. I need to read the sequel like right now.

Just be warned: there are no Happily Ever Afters in Morganville, Texas.

It was full of early 2000s nostalgia and I loved every minute of it. It's a bit more on the late teen side which I didn't expect so that was a nice Suprise. Full of action, tension and mystery.
