The mansion on top of
Benson Hill has been empty and boarded up for years. But a new family has moved
in. A family that never ventures out during the day. Who are these creepy
people -- especially the handsome, dark, and elusive Alexander Sterling? Or
rather, what are they? Could the town gossip actually be 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.
Positive:
Humor- In the “about the
author” at the back of the book, it says that Ellen Schreiber was a comedienne
before writing. You can really tell through her writing. The Vampire Kisses
series is hilarious.
Goth- Raven is a gothic
character but it’s not like she’s all gloomy and depressed. She’s just a normal
teen who loves black stuff and coffins and graveyards. Okay, I like that stuff
too. Raven is someone to look up to if you don’t necessarily “fit in”.
Negative:
Maturity level- A lot of
the bickering between characters makes you think “really, what are we, five?”.
Honestly, I loved this book the first time I read it, but now that I’m
re-reading it, I’d have to only recommend it to someone in middle school.
Definitely not a mature story.
