The mansion on top of Benson Hill has stood empty for years. But one day it seems to be occupied, and Alexander Sterling becomes the source of much talk around town. Raven, a Vampire-Obsessed-Goth who has always considered herself an outsider in "Dullsville," is determined to uncover the truth surrounding the secretive Alexander. AS she gets to know him, and their spark intensifies, Raven finds herself in some unanticipated situations. Can Alexander make her lifelong dream come true? But love always has its complications, especially when it can only be awakened at night.
Vampire Kisses takes the real vampires of olden day, like Dracula, and put's them into modern day life. Vampire Kisses is probably the farthest away from a "modern day" vampire as possible. They sleep during the day and do what vampires do at night. They don't sparkle in the sun light, or stop cars, or not sleep at all. They are what you would call Classical Vampires. Vampries that sleep in coffins and do what normal vampires do, but they look like any normal human, well normal to some people like Raven. When you read the first chapter you will be hooked. This series is a series that will make you wish you were Raven or even a Vampire like Alexander for that fact. Is the weird kid that wears all black and only come out at night that lives in that old mansion down the street just weird, or is he a vampire?
Ellen Schreiber does a fantastic job with bringing back the classical vampires and putting them into a modern based story. Nobody wants to hear about vampires that sparkle in the sunlight or never sleep. People want to read a book with vampires that sleep in coffins and only come out at night. Once you read the first three books which are compiled into one book, you will be dying to read books four, five, and six. Dance with a Vampire, The Coffin Club, and Royale Blood. I promise you, you will get hooked onto this fantastic nail-biting, blood sucking book.
