The glass house by Rachel Caine
Claire Danvers has always been bright so much so she's always been an outcast for it. Claire goes to uni two years early her parents however refuse to send to havard geek central instead she has to go to Morganville which is closer to their home, she also has to stay in dorms where tragically her dorm peers want to kill her. After chucking her clothes in the trash they push her down the stairs with the threat that she will die that night. Shaken Claire sees the campus doctor who patches her up, she has to get out of dorms she looks for house shares her eyes fall on one place she calls and is told by voice mail to stop by. So she goes to the house and meets Eve who takes pity on her bruised face and invited her in, where she meets Shane who is cooking chilli the only thing he can cook, Eve and Shane are happy for her to move in but Michael has to agree it, so after dark Michael appears he isn't happy about her sharing with them she's too young he agrees she can stay until she finds an alternative. The alternative never comes she settled in well at the glass house, one morning she wakes before dawn and goes Dow and witnesses michael keel over then vanish into thin air she's freaked what has she just witnessed? She soon realises the cold flush is michael and after a brief conversation with the now ghost michael she goes to bed, when michael comes back in his human form he tells Claire that a vampire tried to turn him but it didn't work so during the day he's a ghost and during the night he's human, he can never leave the house though as it's the house that keeps him alive, Claire promises to keep his secret. Monica the evil dorm girl who pushed Claire down the stairs is still after blood, her gang get to Claire when she goes to get her things from her dorm, she is fearful but thankfully gets away unscathed. The following day Shane accompanies Claire to classes it is in lab class that things take a turn for the worse as Jen one of Monica's gang tips acid over Claire's back. Things couldn't get much worse a town run by vampires psycho students running the school and a vampire who wants your blood it all happens in Claires life. While recovering from the acid attack Claire learns the vampires are after a book what it tells them no one knows and neither do the vampires as they can't read it. Claire decides the only way to save herself and her new friends is to fake a book that looks like the one the vamps are after, it's dangerous but worth a shot so she goes about trying to work out how to do it. A visit to the library proves useful she finds a floor that doesn't appear on the map she checks it out but can't get in as it's locked, determined as ever she goes to the lab and after a brief chat with her teacher leaves with some liquid nitrogen to freeze the lock open, once inside she finds endless boxes of pricessless boxes the vamps are. Searching to find the book she gets caught nosing around but bluffs it off with the help of her English teacher who is helping the vamps look through the books. All hell breaks loose when the teacher tries to steak a first edition book of the tail of two cities. The vamps don't like that so a fight endures which ends with Clare spraying them in liquid nitrogen so they can escap once in the lift the teacher tells claire to go to his house the book is blue and on the book shelf then he dies, she feels he means the book so she gets his address and meets Shane to break in after a little looking they find the book and take it home. That night Shane and Claire have a moment were they end up kissing. The following day Claire goes to see Oliver that's Eve's boss who said he could help her with anything she tells him she has the book and that she needs to make a trade with the top vamps. He says he needs to see the book. And will come to see it later on, Claire agrees on the walk home she is bundled into a van by Minica and her gang as they try to kill her again luckily the van crashed and Claire escapes but then she comes across things more scary as she gets home Oliver the evil vampire wants to see book michael refuses him access but Oliver uses dirty tactics to get eve to allow him in after a hard slap eve revokes her invitation but all hell breaks loose as monica sets fire to the house luckily they put it out and finally the book is given to Amelie who promises to keep it safe though claire, eve, michael and shane may no longer be safe.

Lucy is on edge from there on in and it apperent from that moment she has never trusted James, but as the story unfolds it shows that James is a sleeze back, while in Sydney Lucy falls for Nathan, Sam's younger brother, she holds back her feelings while she's there, and when she's back she can't shake her feels and she resents James more for it, but she fools herself into believing he would never cheat on her and he lies his way out of everything, it goes on her doubts, her feelings for Nathan out weighed by her feelings for Nathan. Then word gets to her that Nathan is coming to the uk, when he arrives Lucy goes to meet him and then falls asleep in his bed with him, when she wakes up she scribbles him a note and leaves, all hell breaks loose from then on she tells james that she is actually in love with Nathan and he demands that she no longer sees, dumbly she stays away then her dad dies, James refuses to go to the funeral with her so Nathan offers, this is first time that feelings actually show between the two, but as confused as she is over everything she pulls herself further way from Nathan, until the two end up kissing that makes up her mind that she will leave James for Nathan, but as she tells james this he begs her back and stupidly she listens, until the day before she meant to go to James' parents house when her work mates tell her that James has a reputation and apperently sleeps with anything with a female pulse, it comfirms everything she suspected and now she has to face it down, she goes to james' works drinks and all hell break loose as zoe james' work mate confirms Lucy's worse thoughts, after a rucus she escapes with chloe and calls Nathan to pick her up as he does James become violent and hit Nathan, Nathan retalate and smascks him in the nose breaking, the two then escape to Somerset for Christmas with her parents.
