Book Reviews of Vampire Kisses (Vampire Kisses)
Book Review: The most UNcreative drivel you will ever have the misery of reading
Summary: 1 Stars
As someone who actually has an understanding of the ORIGINAL gothic subculture (1979, Britain, Bat Cave, Bauhaus...), this has to be the worst drivel one has ever read.
The main character's name is Raven (very original name - taste the sarcasm?). Of course she's an outcast. Of course she doesn't get along with her family. Of course she thinks nobody understands you, and the popular kids pick on her. Of COURSE she's obsessed with vampires! Raven's so goth, Ellen Schreiber goes out of her way in every detail to show just how GOTHIC Raven is. Distracting phrases include "my lacy black rayon shirt against his naked torso" and the like... I'm sorry, I was too busy imagining what kind of attire Raven was wearing to remember what was going on in this scene.
The characters are flat, stereotypical and obviously have no imagination put into them. And of course, considering how the apparent cornerstone of the story is just how GOTH the main character is, it's pretty sad that the author apparently did no research whatsoever into what the gothic subculture really is, considering all she had to do at the very least was look on Wikipedia's (actually decent) article about it.
Please don't bother trying to strain your way from this lifeless, boring excuse for a book. If you want a GOOD vampire story, revert to the classics... Bram Stoker's Dracula.
Summary of Vampire Kisses (Vampire Kisses)
In her small town, dubbed "Dullsville," sixteen-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.
