Binding: HardcoverEAN: 9781410407276 Format: Large Print ISBN: 1410407276 Label: Thorndike Press Manufacturer: Thorndike Press Number Of Items: 1 Number Of Pages: 243 Publication Date: June 04, 2008 Publisher: Thorndike Press Reading Level: Young Adult Studio: Thorndike Press Editorial Review: Product Description: In her small town, dubbed "Dullsville," sixteen-year-old Raven -- a vampire-crazed goth-girl -- is an outcast. But not for long... The intriguing and rumored-to-be haunted mansion on top of Benson Hill has stood vacant and boarded-up for years. That is, until its mysteriously strange new occupants move in. Who are these creepy people -- especially the handsome, dark, and elusive Alexander Sterling? Or rather, what are they? Could the town prattle actually ring true? Are they vampires? Raven, who secretly covets a vampire kiss, both at the risk of her own mortality and Alexander's loving trust, is dying to uncover the truth. Ellen Schreiber's spooky and stirring romance tells the story of two outsiders who fall in love in a town where conformity reigns, and ends with a shocking surprise. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - The most UNcreative drivel you will ever have the misery of readingAs someone who actually has an understanding of the ORIGINAL gothic subculture (1979, Britain, Bat Cave, Bauhaus...), this has to be the worst drivel one has ever read. The main character's name is Raven (very original name - taste the sarcasm?). Of course she's an outcast. Of course she doesn't get along with her family. Of course she thinks nobody understands you, and the popular kids pick on her. Of COURSE she's obsessed with vampires! Raven's so goth, Ellen Schreiber goes out of ... Read More Rating: - ShockingI read this book about a month ago and I'm still in shock at how terrible it was. I normally don't critique people's writing styles but come on, this was so horribly written that I could barely finish it. I can't believe it was actually published...and even more that some people like it. Also, I think the author is a little out of touch with the younger generation-what kind of high school party plays Celine Dion music? Really. I actually don't ever write reviews on books either but this was so terrible ... Read More Rating: - Not Twilight !!!!This is like my fourth vampire series I'm reading and it just doesn't live up to THE TWILIGHT SERIES ! I'm trying really hard but these vampire romance series just doesn't have any depth to the characters ! I'm recommending the Twilight series which is my favorite series/books by far of anything I've read ! Rating:  - Great book for any age...I'm a parent of a 13 y/o girl. I recently read a different series that was labeled "young adult", but was a bit too grown up for my 13 y/o. Thus, I've taken it upon myself to screen the books she reads, to ascertain appropriate content. So, I must say I've read all five books in the series. I enjoyed them, even though I'm 35 y/o. The books are not extremely long, but do not lack content. So far the series has proven safe for any age. I give it a parental thumbs up! Rating: - Best in the seriesI've read all five of the Vampire Kisses books, and I thought this book had the best comedy, especially with the Trevor-Raven forest incident. It also did an excellent job building suspense, romantic and otherwise. All around, it was quick and well put together. I especially enjoyed the wit and quirkiness of the main character, Raven. |
