| Grade 7 Up-Raven, 16, doesn't fit in at school or home. This goth-girl is obsessed with vampires and when a new family moves into the old town mansion, she is convinced that the son, Alexander, is a vampire. The story swirls around and through sibling rivalry, peer relationships, friendships, and love. Raven is a feisty protagonist with a quick wit and a real sense of self. She defends herself and her friends, often besting her peers with humor and a quick tongue. As her connection with Alexander deepens, she comes to understand her family better. It is through his shadowy character that readers are kept off balance. Schreiber weaves a tale that is more about acceptance and friendship than about vampire behavior and culture, and sustains a tone that draws readers to the characters rather than to horrific plot developments that would keep them reading. There is far less intensity than in Annette Curtis Klause's Silver Kiss (Laurel-Leaf, 1992) and less moodiness than that found in Amelia Atwater-Rhodes's Midnight Predator (2002) and Shattered Mirror (2001, both Delacorte). While the ending isn't tied up in a neat and pretty bow, it fits the style and tone. All in all, a good read for those who want a vampire love story without the gore.

Foreign Customer Review / 国外客户评价: |
| Raven, her name and character are both equal in their lack of originality. The fact that she angsts and revels over the fact that she is oh-so-goth-and-angst annoyed me to the extreme. She was a very shallow character, who's only depth was given by the fact that she like "goth" things, her goth boots, her goth clothes, hot goth boys... Truly, this book had the emotional depth of sponge-bob square-pants. I read this book several months ago, so I can't go much further into detail, but the only good thing about this book that I can say is that I didn't buy it. |
