I have to say this before I get started: The cover of the book is better then the actual book. This book is the stereotypical crap-tastic vampire book which should be more realistically aimed at pre-teens. The characters are one dimensional and totally underdeveloped. Raven was just the stereotypical goth girl with nothing special or amazing about her. The plot is... how to say this kindly... Terrible. The plot is absolutely terrible, overdone and cliched. The romance was just... words. I felt nothing. Another thing was the book could have just been cut in half. It could have been 250 pages instead of like 500. Overall it is not worth your time.

I think this book was the WORST, most HORRIBLE, and the BADLYIST(can't think of anything else, and yes, I know it's not a word) writen book I've ever read. The main girl-Raven- is a goth obsessed teen who had no life and who majorly needs to get one. This "book" is full of so many cliche's I wanted to rip it in half and feed it to a bunch of hungry birds. Every page it says that Raven in a goth(well a wannabe anyway), or is wearing black lipstick with fishnet tights and combats boots. Every page I read my mind was screaming "SHUT UP ELLEN SCH...whatever." Anyway, so through the book all you really get is that Ravens a moron, Trevors supposedly a bum hole, Alexander is a "Gothic Prince" (Ellens/Ravens words deffinently not mine), and Luna and Jagger are freakos. To be frank, Jagger is the most exciting thing in the whole freaking book. ANOTHER THING! Nothing remotly interesting happens in the novel until when Jagger come into the picture. And even then it was pretty lame. And you wanna know the last line of the book? "I knew one thing- I'd have to find out." ...I think that is not a good way to end a story. Sure it leaves you hanging, and I'm certain thats what Ellen was aiming for but...she aimed too high and fell off a cliff. In my opinion. And I hope in some other peoples opinions. This is a book you would want your friends to read just so they know how terrible it is, and could make fun and mean comments of it with you. I apoligize to those of you who liked this book and are offended by it. I wholeheartedly apoligize...ok not "whole"heartedly but if your offended by it I'm sorry for it. But I truly did hate this book. And the only other thing I trult hate is bugs, like seriously what good are they? And yes I know they are a food source, but that's it.

Not much of a goth person but it caught me in the book. And for the moments while I was in the book, I got to be in the shoes of a teenage goth girl who dreams to be a vampire. A bit over the top of being a rebel but I loved the titles when a new chapter began. Gave me a glimpse in the future.

More fluff then anything This is the first three books in the Vampire Kisses series. It revolves around a girl whose name is Raven and she’s a goth. She has no real friends except for Becky. One day a family moves into a mansion and rumors start going around that they are vampires. Raven gets excited hoping they really are. On Halloween night her and a guy get into a fight where she hits him with a tennis racket. The young guy in the house stares at her. He invites her to his house. She goes there and meets him. Alex, the young man that lives there, seems to be enthralled with her. It goes on from there, they start dating and so does her friend Becky. It goes on from there with not a very good ending. Raven is annoying and childish and Alex is just plain boring. Raven is constantly reminding everyone she’s a “goth” and she’s always getting into fights. She has a brother the she calls Nerd boy because he likes computers. Through the book she gets into fight with a guy named Trevor at her school, then when she finds out later in the book that Alex is a vampire, he leaves and she follows him. Then she goes to a club named the coffin club where she meets Jagger, who wants to get rid of Alex. Big surprise Raven leads him right to Alex. When she returns home Jagger has followed her there. Alex comes and saves her from him. Then later on we meet Luna, Jaggers sister who was actually born human, who’s just as crazy as him. I know this isn’t a great review though that’s pretty much the first three stories. It was good and I plan on reading the rest of them, it was a lot of fluff. A very simple read, that goes quickly.

So being a fan of "Vampire" stories...I picked this up to see what it was all about. Not bad, but as an adult reading it, I found it somewhat childish and not really all that romantic. The girl, Raven, was somewhat annoying, and to be frank the constant reminders that she is so "goth" and into "vampires" got old after the first couple chapters. So all in all, good for a light read, and good for a younger audience (like pre teen - 14ish years)?

I loved the book and its characters but i found Raven to be clingy and kinda a stalker to Alexander. Don't get me wrong Ioved the books but give the guy some space....

This book is simply AMAZING ! ,When i saw it i didnt want to buy it i just looked at it and then looked for the vampire diaries 4 .. But then after i found out my book wasnt out yet i looked at vampire kisses again and buyed it right away! 2 hours later i finished it ! And it was possible , Oh yes its very possible. Now im going to read the other one kissing coffins THREE WORDS TO TELL YOU ! Buy it NOW !

If you are a romance Addict and love Vampires, and want something more romantic that twilight. This is your book its still on the 6 book but there will be more!! And im dying for the next book. Its thrilling and you wont be able to put it down. I love this book more then twilight for the fact that its romance and i have to say that when you first meet alexander, you might love him more then edward. But i will admit its a same same thing. I love twilight for the story and how real it is to me as a grade 10 student. But Vampire Kisses is more along the lines of taking you to another time. But its amazing. And you have to read it. Just go pick it up and a indig/chapters, or where ever and read this book. ITS SO GOOD AND ITS WORTH IT!!

this was an amazing book!! Ellen Schreiber really captured the essance of suspence, romance, and danger! i higly recemend this book to all vampire lovers and goth girls. any girl could look up to Raven Madison - goth or not! she is independent , beleives in herself and is true to herself. stands up for her best friend and is always ready to protect ' Dullsville' even tho it is her least fav. town. watch how dullsville turns out to be vampireville in this 3 in 1 book that includes vampire kisses , kissing coffins , and vampireville. while putting up with her hippi mother , and nerd boy brother raven finds herself lonly alot untill the sterlings move into the big mansion on the hill and she meets alexandersterling the love of her life.!!! im reading dance with a vampire the 4th book in this series and i cant put it down long enough to do anything!!!! SO INSTEAD OF SITTING AROUND READING MY REVEIW GO AND BUY THIS FANGTASTIC BOOK!!!! Lmfao

There is a review on the back of this book that says ''Raven is exactly the kind of girl a Goth can look up to''... right... if that girl is a wanna-be poser who thinks all stereotypes of Goths are true. This book is so full of ridiculous clichees.. it goes beyond the point of being so clichee'd it's funny. Raven is basically the cookie cutter Hot Topics (or Hot Gothics as the author so cleverly calls it) mallrat wannbe. As another reviewer pointed out, the author has this compulsion to remind you 4 or 5 times per page that Raven is Goth, that she's into Gothic things, and that she loves vampires. Apparently the author thinks readers will forget that fact if she doesn't continously repeat it ad nauseum. Another amusing bordering pathetic fact about Raven is that she honestly believes that everything you see in the movies about vampires is the truth. Again with the clichee smorgasborg. To me this book was written by someone who clearly has no idea about true Gothic culture or any real knowledge of vampires aside from what hollywood movies show and what the local kids at hot topic say is 'Gothic'. This is what happens when an adult tries to write a story from a teen's point of view and shows just how out of touch they are with said teens.
