I was expecting a lot more from this book. I felt that the characters were very stereotypical, two-dimensional and that the story was predictable.

Also, I hate the kind of stories where the two leads 'fall in love' in a matter of 24 hours, etcetera This is what happens with Sterling and I guess I shouldn't have expected a lot more from this book when the main characters name is so silly.

Vampire Kisses is about a year-old girl named Raven Madison who is a goth misfit in her polo-wearing, ordinary, town.

When an old abandoned mansion finally gets new residents, the rumors start to spread. Even Raven, who has always loved vampires since she was little, believes the rumors. But one day, she encounters the attractive yet mysterious Alexander Sterling that lives in the mansion and feels like he is the only person that actually understands her.

The two very quickly fall in love, but still, the question remains; are the Sterlings really vampires? View all 4 comments. Jul 26, Kristy rated it it was ok. With a title like 'Vampire Kisses', I, the reader, would assume that a: this book has vampires in it b.

They might even all be true to a point, but not in the way I had expected or wanted! Really, we don't even know "our guy" is a vampire until pretty much the last page!!! You might assume it or think it, but the author does her part to make us think it's just a ruse My brain feels smushy from reading this.

The main character's name is Raven She is sooo tragically emo, it's sad From her black lipstick to her black fingernails and combat boots, Pretty much everything about her drives me insane!!! Not becuase she is a black wearing goth, no, it's her character. She is stupid. And the way she is written, it acts like she is better than the "normal people. You know the type, you probably don't like the type For Your viewing pleasure This goes with my Kermit comment!!!!

Allow me to discuss the irony, which Vampire Kisses has more than enough of and this is still an understatement. The main character's Raven parents used to be what she called "hippies" when she was a kid. Now, if her parents were hippies, why would they name her kid "Raven? I understand that I may be stereotyping the whole concept of being a 'hippi This book is way too coincidental.

I understand that I may be stereotyping the whole concept of being a 'hippie' here, but that is exactly what the characters, and, indirectly the author herself, are doing anyways — stereotyping. From 'hippies' to goths to vampires, et cetera.

And another thing about her name - isn't Raven a goth name? How in the world did those two "hippies" know that they were eventually going to raise a goth kid? I believe so. On another account, Raven has no character whatsoever apart from being totally shallow and self-centered.

Character development nor thought processes can be found here, which caused the reading experience to further decrease in enjoyment, and increase is disappointment. Now to the part on vampires. This "gentlemen home-schooled" boy. The author portrays him as a vampire, no doubt about it. Where is the blood-sucking? The 'O woe is me, the light is burning me to ashes! I personally do not recommend this book. To anyone. Unless you like the cliche kind of thing.

I really don't know. View all 11 comments. Mar 11, Penny rated it did not like it Shelves: reviewed , y-read-young-adults-fantasy. The facts have no union; is like watching a bad TV series, a succession of changing scenes but with no explanations anywhere, and a bunch of systematized ideas and shallowness.

What a painful, painful read. Jan 26, Bryan Coffey rated it it was amazing. I love the vampire kisses series because it was the first vampire love novel i read before twilight came out and i am able to relate to this book a howl lot. I would recomend people to read this book and the howl series granted it is not as long or as good as twilight but it is worth the read.

This teenage girl falls in love with this teenage vampire and she tries to deny it for ahilw and she is curious to find out who he is and it has been her life long dream to become a vampire. She broke it t I love the vampire kisses series because it was the first vampire love novel i read before twilight came out and i am able to relate to this book a howl lot.

She broke it to this old abandoned house when she was younger and she never did since that night. Until one night when she is going home from crashing a party she and her outcast friend almost hit a person. This person turned out to be the misteryous teen vampire who just so happened to move into the old abandoned house. This house turned out to be his relatives that died she gave it to him. He listens to heavy metal music and punk rock and things like that.

Unlike twilight he does need to sleep yes he does have a real bed but he also has his cauffin hiden behind a secret door cause he wishes he could be a human and the girl wishes she could be a vampire. But this is only a breifing of the first book if you want to know more i guess you are just going to have to read them and find out more about it. I hope any and all who read this do go and try to find these books and read them all. You can go to www.

There were parts where I just couldn't stop laughing because Vampire Kisses is a very very funny book. Vampire Kisses was really interesting too. I found myself reading more and more and more of it and ended up finishing it because it's just a book that you want to keep reading.

Vampire Kisses was thoroughly enjoyable and I will forever remember parts of it. I loved all of the characters, they were all Vampire Kisses is a really great book.

I loved all of the characters, they were all really well-written and had their typical attributes. I really liked Raven, I had quite a soft-spot for her as she was caring and different and didn't care what anyone else thought of her.

Alexander was a great character too, he was such a cool vampire. He wasn't cocky or arrogant or anything like that. He was really shy which was quite cute. This book had me laughing all the way through. I found the ending to be a sad one though. Overall, I thought this book was excellent. I would recommend it to anyone who's a fan of vampires and anyone who just wants a good laugh, or even a light read that won't take long to devour.

Aug 24, Janaye rated it liked it. I must admit that this is a guilty pleasure type of book. Its very simple with not much depth to it but is a cute book. Though it is not something to read for a life changing experience it is cute and easy to read and follow so give it a try. Fall in love with Raven and her Vampire and follow them through all their terrifyingly wonderful adventures.

Though there is some originality to the book it comes in the form of non-original vampire myths and legends garlic, crosses, sunlight etc. View 1 comment.

It looks like it was written by a 10 years old girl who wrote a fanfiction while daydreaming about a handsome vampire as her boyfriend. Not my cup of tea. View all 12 comments.

The writing was abhorrent and the plot was overly simple. I'm not sure why I liked this book in high school. May 08, Corinne rated it it was ok Recommends it for: 10 year old goths. This book is kind of like a salad when all you really want is a steak. You start to read it and you really, really want the two main characters to get together and thats all well and good.

It would be a better book if the main character wouldn't whine so much and get over the whole damned "I'm goth and no one understands me" bullshit. It wouldn't be as bad as it is if the characters had actual depth, if the parents weren't as retarded and if the story had more meat. There are other books followi This book is kind of like a salad when all you really want is a steak.

There are other books following this one in a series, I do not recommend them and I will not be reading them. Oct 27, Kayla Brunson rated it really liked it Shelves: read-in , paranormal.

I read this back in high school and every time I see this cover I get nostalgic. And I did! Raven still made me laugh and is still one of my favorite main characters. I think most of the jokes went above my head back in t I read this back in high school and every time I see this cover I get nostalgic. I think most of the jokes went above my head back in the day because a lot of this had dark humor and older vibe to it. Some of the things happening i. Especially the romance between Raven and Alexander.

I felt like a kid again grinning while reading the interactions between them. This did help with my slump and also rekindled my love for this series. Blog Instagram Twitter Jun 18, Polina rated it did not like it Shelves: sappy-books , utter-rubbish.

Someone hand me the forks. I have no desire to be able to read after finishing Vampire Kisses by Ellen Schreiber. In case you didn't get that from the author pointing that out every other page. She also pulls out every single cliche in the book, and ends almost every sentence in an exclamation point.

People aren't called by the names that they are given, no, the snarky protagonist has to give them an insulting nickn Someone hand me the forks. People aren't called by the names that they are given, no, the snarky protagonist has to give them an insulting nickname for one of their qualities. Anyway, she lives in this town called Dullsville yet another horrible nickname! Every character admires her, and she is somewhat of an idol to everyone who is fortunate enough be in her presence. All of this admiration, and her life is still sooooo miserable, and no one understands her.

She has two ex-hippie parents, who have now apparently 'conformed' to society, and are khaki-wearing, tennis-racquet toting people who like everyone else don't understand what she's going through. So, basically she just putters around with small incidents concerning Trevor the Impeccable. Then, the author finally decides to get to the point of the story, and introduces a "creepy guy" we don't know his proper name until later, whiny Raven just dubs him this out of her own shallow understanding.

Yada yada, more time passes, and then she decides to break into someone else's house to try and find vampires. That's when the drama starts. And by drama, I mean completely pointless and stupid writing about vampires. It is all utter sap- anyway, she meets Alexander I'm omitting his last name because his full name is enough to make me vomit who she thinks is a vampire.

Of course, he is a perfect gentleman, and is yet another cardboard cutout who has no purpose in life other to love Raven. Anyway, after she breaks into his house like a mad person, he does the natural thing and invites her over for dinner because that's what you do when people break into your house They proceed to be predictably head-over-heels for each other because they're both "goth" eurrrghh and that's about it. Then we realize that Raven is only using this poor puppet of a character so she can become a vampire herself and gain international fame by ratting him to the news.

Because that's what true love is made of. Raven is gothic in a town where that's rather frowned upon and so she's rather lonely until a family moves into the wonderful mansion. Things move fast in this novel and I like that.

Nothing is ever boring and Raven is as funny as can be. I love Alexander and his shy and quiet way. This book can be kind of cheesy but I just think it's cute as can be.

This novel is kinda of what I wish my town was like, everyone is pretty good people with only a few bad apples instead of the other way around. I'd Raven is gothic in a town where that's rather frowned upon and so she's rather lonely until a family moves into the wonderful mansion.

I'd love to hand out with Raven as she'd be so much fun, I'd probably end up in some kind of trouble but still, she'd never be boring. This is very short book, I read it once in less than two hours. It's written easy to understand and in a way that allows you to read this book even faster. It's a simple feel good book. You'll come away with a smile after this one. Mar 31, Sandy rated it liked it Shelves: paranormal , series. This is the third book by her that I've read, and she has a very light, ditzy kind of style of writing.

Or maybe it's just her main characters, I don't know. Raven is a total perky goth. Like, seriously. She's very perky, it would be very annoying if I didn't like perky goths, so I'm warning you in advance. But here again, vampire romance. It was actually pretty cute, and there's also totally something going on with this other guy that does not get fully developed, but hey, there's 2 more books This is the third book by her that I've read, and she has a very light, ditzy kind of style of writing.

Oh god, what the fuck was this? Stupid plot. Stupid characters. Stupid writing. Everything about this book was so gooddarn stupid! How are these books even published? This book was for teeny boppy girls who are hopeless romantics and fantasize an Edward Cullen will someday come to get them. I was sick and couldn't move from my bed, hence settled for reading this whole series as it was the only one available in my mobile.

Otherwise I swear to god, I'd not have read this shit in a million years. Mar 27, Kimberley doruyter rated it really liked it. Oct 18, Anna rated it liked it Shelves: vampires , young-adult. A perfect teen-read for Halloween.

Raven, a 16 year old goth, loves vampires and wishes to meet one. Her greatest desire comes to reality when 17 year old Alexander moves to the creepy mansion up the hill. He is so mysterious that he never gets out of his place, he paints the whole time and he is home-schooled. Lovely like "The little vampire" and so small that is read in a couple of hours pleasantly!

Very easy to read. Highly entertaining after reading a serious book. Perfect for reluctant readers. Mar 06, Sophie rated it did not like it. This book sucked. And not in the good way either.

So the main characters name is raven and she is goth. Tragically so what with her black combat boots, black lipstick, black hair. But at the saaaaame time she is a total freaking preppy girl.
