Just don't stay out after dark.

College freshman Claire Danvers has had enough of her nightmarish dorm situation, where the popular girls never let her forget just where she ranks in the school's social scene: somewhere less than zero.

When Claire heads off-campus, the imposing old house where she finds a room may not be much better. Her new roommates don't show many signs of life. But they'll have Claire's back when the town's deepest secrets come crawling out, hungry for fresh blood.

I don’t care I absolutely love these books!! This is my 5th reread and I have so many memories come back every time I read them. Rachel Caine is an author that helped me a lot at a tough time in my life and she is sorely missed.

"I read about Sudan every day, and I didn’t understand what was going on there until this book. Dave Eggers tells the story of Valentino Achak Deng, one of the Lost Boys of Sudan, who walked across the country, the largest in Africa. And then Deng spent 13 years in refugee camps before being resettled in Atlanta. It’s a powerful story of what he survived. There are lighter moments in the book: He and his roommates buy a tampon box because they think it’s so pretty. And there are less-kind instances of American behavior in the book—Deng was held hostage in his home and robbed. I didn’t know that church groups had sponsored these men. There’s so much anti-immigration stuff going on in the States right now, it’s heartening to see that people worked to reach out to others who are in need of what our country has to offer."
