The most important night of the year is drawing near . . . but not without a little trouble from the Underworld
Dullsville's newest night-faring intruder may be only a tween, but Raven knows that Valentine Maxwell, the younger sibling of two nefarious vampires, is a full-size menace. Valentine becomes even more of a threat when he befriends her brother, Billy. Raven must try to shield Billy, even as the biggest excitement of the year approaches: attending prom with her immortal love, Alexander. And while Alexander is one kind of vampireâsweetâRaven soon learns Valentine is another.
Could Valentine somehow know Raven's private thoughts about turning into a vampire?
Vampire Kisses ^ If you enjoy the house of night books you will probably enjoy this series of books. I've read them all. I was disappointed to find out the "blood relatives" volumns are comic books though. I ordered all three before I knew. I guess if you know what "manga" is you would know this, but I didn't. I think this should be made clearer.
Cute, fun LITTLE story... ^ I like this series, I do. I like Raven's quirkiness and I don't take the story too seriously. This series is odd, in that the characters and themes are aimed at high schoolers but the writing is somewhat immature and seems better off for 10-14 year olds. That said this story was a cute, super speedy read. Raven and her vampire boyfriend Alexander, have gotten rid of teenage brother and sister vampires who are out to make trouble and keep Raven from Alexander. Suddenly they have the duo's younger brother Valentine snooping around and up to no good. What does Valentine want and is he planning on harming Raven's younger brother Billy Boy? Mix in some fun with the Prom and some relationship angst and that about rounds off the book. My biggest complaint is that these books are TEENY Tiny and cost $8.99. They are trade paperback size, but it still feels like a rip off to spend that much on such a thin tale.
Review by Page from One Book At A Time ^ I am so glad this series is getting better. I had my doubts after the first two. I have figure out two of my issues with this series though. First, I think some of the books could be combined. They function all right by themselves, but they are to connected (not to mention short). Second, I have no problem with Raven being Goth. But, for some reason it seems so cliché. I kind of just ignore that, but I do not feel it really adds to the story. This story I think was more fun. I liked seeing Raven get excited about something that it is so "high school". Of course, she did it her own way! I also thought it was fun watching Raven and Alexander way over react to Valentine. I don't think he was all bad, more just really lost. I also love how it seems Billy and Raven are finally starting to form an actual relationship. I also liked how Raven finally admitted that maybe she was not quite ready to be a vampire. I think it made her character have more depth. It also put some substance into her and Alexander's relationship!
A decent read ^ This series entertained me after i wasdepressed twilight had to come to an end. It was a good read but I would agree with one of the other reviewers in saying that it is more for the tweens and possibly teens than adults. I was kind of wondering whether the author was goimg to continue this series, i thought that it ended kind of leaving me wondering what was going to happen.
Amazing Series!! ^ I have loved this series since book one. I really like the character of Raven and how she is an outcast but in my eyes she is the popular one, she sticks out to me and is a very cool character. In this book Raven and Alexander get closer and there are a couple of times in the book when I think Alexander is going to turn Raven into a vampire finally, if he does or doesn't I won't say, I don't want to ruin the book. But the book does end with Alexander leaving again after they capture the new trouble in town, Valentine, Jagger's younger brother, and they find out where Jagger and his sister are hiding!
