Publisher's summary

In her small town, dubbed “Dullsville”, 16-year-old Raven—a vampire-crazed goth-girl—is an outcast. But not for long. The intriguing and rumored-to-be haunted mansion on top of Benson Hill has stood vacant and boarded-up for years. That is, until its mysteriously strange new occupants move in. Who are these creepy people—especially the handsome, dark, and elusive Alexander Sterling? Or rather, what are they? Could the town prattle actually ring true? Are they vampires? Raven, who secretly covets a vampire kiss, both at the risk of her own mortality and Alexander’s loving trust, is dying to uncover the truth.

Ellen Schreiber’s spooky and stirring romance tells the story of two outsiders who fall in love in a town where conformity reigns, and ends with a shocking surprise.

Critic reviews

"This tale slides down easily and will be welcomed by Goths willing to look on the lighter side of their own culture as well as by readers who have an openminded appreciation for the vagaries of their peers and, perhaps, of themselves." ( Booklist)

Oh my god

Honestly, I wasn't expecting a lot out of this one. A lot of vapire romances- especially YA novels- aren't that great, and are immature. However this is a book that can be enjoyed by any age group.

The main character is three dimensional and the supporting cast each stand out as individuals that you can feel for. Finally, a book where a teenager actually sounds and acts like a real teenager. It really makes me remember of my edgy phase when I wanted to be a cool goth kid and stand out at school. I was captured by the writing, dialogue, characters, and world building almost immediately, and it was all helped by the wonderful narrator, who gave perhaps my favorite performance I've has the pleasure of listening to on this site.

If you're looking for something fun, dramatic, and romantic, I heavily reccomend this book.

Wow

This recording brings new life to a story I've loved since it first came out. The performance is great.

Love

I read this for the first time when I was in High school, I enjoyed it then and still enjoy it now. Though now, I realize the cringey and cornyness of some of the text more so now than before, but overall still an enjoyable read/listen.

kind if young 10-16 but enjoyable

it was a fresh outlook and very realistic if vs,pores could be real! I enjoyed the light listen and recommend!

My favorite series

Vampire Kisses has always been my favorite series to read since middle school. Being able to listen to it was even better! Can’t wait to listen to the others! Such a great story!

Wonderful Book!

perfect vampy teen romance! great for any bat baby! ive loved this series and highly recommend! The narrator does it justice! 🦇🦇

Not your normal vampire

If you are looking for a world ending, dranatic apocalyptic climax, go elsewhere.
If you want a inside look at a young girl waking up to the fact that reality is never the sane as fantasy, this is an excellent series.
And the lack if profanity is a bonus.

A Fun, Youthful Listen

Although not in the Twilight category of greatness, this book is well written and excellently read. Youths that have become a part of the "vampire craze" will be entertained.

omfg love this book
