Allison & Busby

When Claire is ordered to repair the systems that protect Morganville, it's not just cutting into her study time, it's a life-threatening problem. But achieving the impossible only brings a whole new set of problems, and the upgrades have unexpected consequences: people inside the town are beginning to forget who they are, even the vampires.

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.
