Chemistry....?
Not exactly the most developed Vampire Novel I have read, not up there with the Twilight Series but definately in a similar sort of league as The Vampire Diaries and nearly up to the standard of The Night World Novels.
Very Cliche with the old style vampire myths followed with likeable enough characters, even if they don't seem to have an awful lot of dimension to them. It's questionable as to what relationships the characters actually have at some points, the reader is told that the characters are friends and just have to except this as there is never really are type of depth to this, eg. Raven and Becky, Matt and Trevor.
I was very confused at dates mentioned within the book, they seemed to make no sense, just to point out that halloween is only one day before November first, even though a LOT of time seemed to pass between the two dates.
This book opened a new path for me where I didn't find myself liking the "gentlemanly" vamp, who sometimes seemed to lose his gentlemanly ways, but instead the so called "Bully" Trevor, even if he was a bit of an ass, who in my belief had much better chemistry with Raven than the vamp, Alexander. He also got the better lines, and was a lot more interesting as a character.
I liked the book enough to carry on with the series, and I'm hoping it gets more...Dimensional, and has a bit more chemistry, as well as sense.

Best romance of vamprie genre!!!
The book is awesome. Once you pick it up it's like you cant put it down again. Or that's how I felt, and sadly I finished this book in a day. The style of writing is excellent, except that some bits do fail to make sense and the characters of the book are charming. Except Trevor .

Excellent read, recommended to all the romance readers out there.

very cliched, finished in two hours or less
I bought this book in hope fo getting a decent vampire romance with action thrown in. Whilst the authors writing style is wity and very humorous in parts, the plot and characters let her down.

The huge amount of cliches and predictability in this series makes for very short and unsuprising reads. The main character, a wanna be vampire named Raven (sounds like a fanfiction character)is the only goth in all of dullsville, your average small town american setting. Mysterious strangers move into a haunted mansion on the outskirts of town. She spies on them and sees alexander, a vampire with feelings (here come the the cliches!!) and they immediatly fall in love with one another.

There is zero character development, the personalities of Raven, Trevor the bully, her best friend Becky and Alexander are, in the extreme, 2 dimentional. The vampires through out the series hold up the popular myths, they cast no reflections, are illergic to garlic and sleep in coffins during the day. Bleh.

Suitable for young teens or for very quick reads. The humorous prose and Ravens childhood memories are the best aspects of this series. Fun, quick read, but no different to hundreds of others.
