Some of my favourite quotes...
One of my favourite quotes of all 4 main characters- Claire, Shane, Eve and Michael-
“Eve: She told me last!
Shane: Boyfriend!
Michael: Landlord!
Eve: Crap. Right. Next time you sell your soul to the devil, I get first contact!”
-Midnight alley
“You're kidding. I thought all geniuses read Latin. Isn't that the international language for smart people?"
-Shane glass house
“Goodness," Myrnin said quietly. "I don't think I should be watching this. I don't think I'm old enough.”
fade out- Myrnin
“No, not you two. Stay here."
"Does he just not get how unfair and sexist that is?" Eve asked. "Men."
"You really want to go first?"
"Of course no. But I'd like the chance to refuse to go first.”
Lord of Misrule
“That's it? That's your big goodbye?" Eve asked.
Claire looked at Eve mystified. "I think I need guy CliffNotes."
"Guys aren't deep enough to need CliffNotes."
"What were you waiting for, flowery poetry?" Shane snorted. "I hugged. I'm done.”
Lord of Misrule

Review of the entire series
I must admit no matter how much I love this series there are some bad bits. The first book- glass house- is no where near as good as the rest. They do get better though by the 3rd book they get good and by the 6th you've fallen in love and they become books you can't live without.
The good bits have to be the characters Shane and Michael. In the books they are the perfect guys that a girl would want to date. They are not your romance guys that are in books that you cannot relate to they are just normal. They could even exist.
My favourite book from the series as to either be Carpe Corpus, Kiss of death or Last breath. This is because of Shane and Claire's relationship and what happens with them. I fell in love with their relationship pretty much from day 1 but the competition stands between Shane and Claire vs. Michael and Eve. Who do you think should win that competition? Comment below.
Michael and Eve's relationship is also one to fall in love with. They have to face all sorts of challenges but they always make it through together and that is something that can make you jealous of them.

Interested in these books then I suggest you read them. Go to your local library and hire them out or buy them but if you are a person is picky with the books you read I suggest getting the first one from the library or if you have a kindle then I suggest ordering a sample and if you like it then buy it. Trust me you will not be disappointed.
