    • Da quando si è trasferita a Morganville, le sfide che Claire Denvers deve affrontare sono aumentate: essere un genio in una scuola in cui conta molto più l’aspetto fisico dell’intelligenza le causa non pochi problemi. Come se non bastasse, nel suo college vive l’elegante e impeccabile Monica Morrell e gli abitanti di Glass House si sono cacciati in un bel guaio. Il padre di Shane crede di aver ucciso il primo vampiro, Michael, ma a farne le spese è proprio Shane, che viene accusato dell’omicidio di un membro del clan di Oliver, il secondo vampiro più potente della città. Durante un appuntamento mondano Claire incontra un ragazzo che sembra fatto apposta per lei, Sam, il più giovane vampiro di Morganville, e insieme a lui ed Eve si lancia nell’impresa di liberare Shane e salvarlo da un nemico insospettabile. La situazione sembra sul punto di precipitare, ed Eve e Claire decidono di partecipare alla Danza della fanciulla morta, una spettacolare festa in maschera che potrebbe essere la premessa alla vittoria definitiva del Male. L’attesissimo seguito del primo volume della serie dei Vampiri di Morganville, Il diario di Eve Rosser . Quali sorprese riserva la scomparsa di Michael? Riuscirà Shane a dimostrare la propria innocenza?

      Claire Danvers è una matricola del college di Morganville, nel Texas. È appena arrivata nel dormitorio femminile e già le sembra un incubo: le ragazze più popolari dell’università l’hanno presa di mira, e passano velocemente dai piccoli dispetti alle minacce, fino ad arrivare alla violenza fisica. Cercando un rifugio fuori dal campus, Claire si ritrova a Glass House, un’antica e imponente casa dove vivono tre ragazzi: Eve, una barista dark; Shane, un tipo affascinante esperto di cucina messicana; Michael, il proprietario della villa, il quale nasconde un grande segreto che lo lega alla luce del sole e alle mura che lo circondano. I nuovi coinquilini diventano subito amici di Claire, si alleano con lei, la difendono dalle molestie e la mettono in guardia dai pericoli della città. Perché Morganville ha delle regole ben precise, nasconde una storia oscura e tormentata fatta di patti e sangue, e ogni passo falso può costare la vita a chi si avventura per le strade quando cala il buio, senza nessun tipo di protezione. Dall'autrice della famosa saga Weather Warden, il primo libro della serie dei Vampiri di Morganville, emozionante come una folle corse, senza freni né deviazioni, con battaglie senza esclusione di colpi e amori proibiti.
