                 Well I finished the first book in the series, Glass Houses. Now I have finished the second book titled, The Dead Girls Dance. I found out why Shane returned to Morganville. He returned so he could scout the area for his anti-vampire dad. His dad wants to kill all vampires. Shane changed his mind shortly after his return, but that has not stopped his dad. Well Mr. Collins returned to Morganville on a rampage. His first stop was Michael's house where Claire, Eve, Michael, and Shane live. He believes Michael is a vampire since he is never around during the day. As you know from my previous blog Michael is half human, half ghost. So he is not around during the day because he is a ghost. Well Mr. Collins does not know this. So he has his bodyguards kill Michael. They stack him through the heart and cut off his head. Since Michael is half ghost he can not be killed, he returns at sunset.
                   Mr. Collins also kills Brandon. He was the vampire that was following Claire and Eve. Brandon is accused of the murder because he was at the scene of the crime, trying to stop his dad. Shane is caged to be publicly burned. In order to help Shane, Claire and Eve got to a party called the dead girls dance. They are looking for Sam, Michael's vampire grandfather. Sam is the only vampire that they can trust in order to get help. While there Claire is drugged and almost raped. Sam rescues her just in time before Mr. Collins arrives and kills anyone he believes is a vampire. They return home just in time to hear Michael asking Amelie (Vampire Queen) to turn him to a vampire. He is tired of being stuck in his house. He is successfully turned. Shane hates that Michale has turned and he hates him.
                     Now Claire strikes a deal with Amelie as well. She offers her lifelong service to Amelie in return for protection. Claire feels like this is the only way to protect herself and her friends from the dangers of Morganville. One danger is the second in command vampire named Oliver. Claire and friends found out that Eve's boss at the coffee shop was a vampire, and the vampire that tried to change Michael. I also found out why Brandon was following Eve. Her family is protected by Brandon, and he tried to force himself on Eve. This is why she refused his protection and left her home. Well what is going to happen now that Claire has signed over her life?
