#48 Glass Houses by Rachel Caine

This is the first in a YA vampire series. The town is run by vamps. Every family is under a vamp protection, pay a 2 pint a month blood tax and doing their bidding. The town has a  college  and the college pays its taxes but allowing 2% of the unprotected students to be culled. Interesting setup and a really fast read. I'll be getting the next one to read.

And this is different than the current government system we have how? ;)

Ya know if they would take my blood I would give that instead of cash for taxes.

I was curious about that one. I read the first of her other series and tried the second one but it just didnt grab me.

It is completely different than the Weather Warden series. I like both series but it has a different feel to it.

It depends on how *much* they'll take. Blood is renewable but it does cost food to make it.

I would however be glad that it's vampires and not other undead. They'd want parts that don't grow back. ;)

Yea 6 pints at a time would be a bit much. LOL!

Brains!

Just finished this last night. Great read, but was a bit pissed off by the whole cliff-hanger ending thing. Very happy that I had the second book already or I would have been mighty annoyed.
