Vampire Kisses


Raven Madison isn’t your regular sixteen year old girl. Well, in some ways she is. No one understands her, her once cool parents sold out to the real world and most of the clothing she owns is black. Even since she was a child, she was never part of the ‘in’ crowd. When her kindergarten teacher asked everyone in the class what they wanted to be, most answered that they aspired to be a doctor, nurse, astronaut or even a football star but when the question came to Raven, she paused then said she wanted to be a vampire. From the very start of the book, author Ellen Schreiber sets the tone. “’I want to be ... a vampire!” She shouted to the shock and amazement of Mrs. Peevish and her classmates. For a moment she thought her teacher started to laugh. From that moment on she had been an outsider.
