by Ellen Schreiber

Publisher: HarperCollins Publishers Pub. Date: July 2005 ISBN-13: 9780060093365

In Kindergarten her teacher asked students what they wanted to be when they grew up. When the circle of children stopped at Raven Madison her teacher spitted out “What do you want to be Raven?” She asked. The small girl paused and replied, “I want to be a vampire!”

On her sixteenth birthday, Raven the witty gothic girl in her high school, discovers that someone has moved on top of Benson Hill in the creepy mansion that once belonged to a Baroness. Now the family that moves into the home is rumored to be creatures of the night, Vampires!

In the kooky mind of Ellen Schreiber her imagination is drawn clearly across every page of this cliffhanger. With five books in her series, Vampire Kisses should paint a picture in every reader’s mind.

Illustrating teenage love, this story will definitely draw your attention towards reality and myth.  Drawing attention to the fact that the undead can love, Alexander Sterling and his family, Alexander and Raven’s love conquer evil vampires that are after Alexander.

Leaving Alexander to have to flee town, this mysterious story will definitely hook you in and have you believing in what’s real and what’s myth.
