Vampireville Vampire Kisses Book 3

Vampireville
Vampire Kisses Book 3
I liked this book and if I didn’t have so many other books to read I would probably get the next one. They are all easy light reading material with a cute story about Raven and Alexander a couple of Goth teens. Alexander is a vampire and Raven is a human which means they only have a few hours in the evening together. They barley have had time to focus on their relationship when Jagger, their rival and his sister Luna hatch a plan to turn Trevor (Ravens ultimate nemesis) into a vampire.
Alexander spends his nights looking for clues, and Raven spends her days looking out for Trevor and investigating possible hiding places. They spend the evenings together piecing together what they have found and searching. This book had even less depth than the other two and was sometimes a bit dull. It was still very cute and kind of fun that is why I enjoyed it. I really liked Luna’s carefree character and hope to see her again if I read more of this series in the future.
Even though I liked it the story was weak and even young teens may get bored with this one. I can only give it 2 stars out of 5 because I can’t justify my like of some of the characters as a reason for more stars. I could not find any offensive content in this book either another reason I enjoyed reading it.

Kissing Coffins By Ellen Schreiber

Kissing Coffins
By Ellen Schreiber

I have to give this book a 4 ½ out of 5 stars because it is very well written and very exciting. I would warn that it is still very much for teens and if you want sex, violence or foul language in you vampire books this one is not for you. It is just a cute teen romance that happens to have vampires in it.

Raven starts her one Goth girl detective agency and starts searching for her missing man. She finds a clue at the mansion but she doesn’t understand it, but she is resourceful and goes to Ruby a woman she worked with, who also had a date with Alexanders’ butler. Raven hits the jackpot here and finds a phone number on the flowers the butler sent to Ruby. Lucky for Raven she is on spring break and she has an aunt who lives in the town the call came from. So she travels to what she calls Hipsterville to continue her search for Alexander.

Hipsterville is not as boring as her hometown and even has Goth clothing stores and a Goth club. She starts her search sneaking out to the club and asking around only to meet Jagger, a guy who is also searching for Alexander. From the time Raven first encounters Jagger she starts to fear for her life and eventually Alexanders. She abruptly returns home and the danger follows her.

I really loved this book, it was still a bit shallow but it packed a lot into a very short book. I thought it was a great read for any teen, if boys could make it through the first book. In the book there were some parallels to Bella from Twilight but I thought they were better handled in this book. In the first book Raven gets to whiney when she thinks she has lost her true love but in the second book after he leaves she goes on with life. She is upset but she is still hanging out with her friend and not so devastated she can’t function. She also starts to question weather she really wants to be a vampire or not very early unlike Bella who is only mildly conflicted about what she would be loosing. Raven realizes how much she would loose and is very conflicted about leaving her loving family and the daylight behind.

Kissing Coffins it the second book in the Vampire Kisses series. It is a teen vampire romance novel. At the end of book one Raven ends up her dream Goth boyfriend, Alexander who is also a vampire. She finds out he is a vampire when she is putting on lipstick with a compact and his reflection doesn’t appear. Then next day he is gone and the mansion he lives in has all indications that he has moved out of town.

Vampire Kisses By Ellen Schreiber

Vampire Kisses

By Ellen Schreiber

Vampire Kisses is about a Goth girl named Raven living in a small town she calls Dullsville. Raven is quite the outcast being the only Goth teen in her town, and Becky is her only friend. Ravens’ parents were serious hippies when she was young and they are rather accepting of her style. She loves vampires movies and is obsessed with black. On Raven’s 16th birthday a new creepy family moves into the creepy mansion that has been boarded up for years. She is excited about the new family in town and sets out to find out who they are. In Dullsville the rumor is the new family is vampires.

This is a great quick read, I finished it in a few hours. It is billed as a teen romance but there isn’t much in the first book. I loved this book despite the fact that it was written with teen girls in mind. It was refreshing to read a book that I could actually recommend to teens. Also I loved her family interactions, while she could be a typical snotty teen she also loved her family and knew they loved her too.

My rating for this book is a 3 ½ our of 5 because there is not a lot of depth to this book at all. There really isn’t anything I didn’t like about this book but on the other hand there was nothing that was particularly exciting. It was very cute and for gossipy young teen girls it will be a gold mine but for me it was a little shallow. I bought three books but I am sure they will all be short reviews because they are really short books.
