Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber


Outcast Goth girl Raven is bored, bored, bored with living in Dullsville. She spends her time exploring the local cemetary, painting her nails black and dreaming of her ideal Prince Charming (a vampire, natch). Her favorite house in town is the old Sterling mansion, which has been abandoned for years and is rumored to be haunted. But one day a new family moves in, and Raven is in Goth heaven. She immediately takes steps to try and find out if the family is a vampire coven. When she finally meets the son, Alexander, she drops hints to try and get him to confide his undead status. Finally, she figures the best way to find out...is to get bitten!

Raven is a fun character. Attired in black with black combat boots, lipstick and nail polish, she totally does not fit in with the Abercrombie & Fitch teens who populate Dullsville. When she meets Alexander, she thinks she's finally found her soulmate - someone with whom she can explore cemetaries and watch old horror movies. But what if Alexander really is a vampire? Is Raven really ready to join the ranks of the undead?
