It was published in 1990 and so the themes are a bit dated (no emails, cellphones etc.), but it didn't rob the story of anything. I finished the slim novel in a day and a half.

    <body><![CDATA[ I loved Blood and Chocolate by Annette which is why I decided to read The Silver Kiss. The book to me was amazing I fell in love with it. I would occasionally be reminded of the twilight series, the whole vampire/human not meant to be thing.

    <body><![CDATA[  This is Klause's first novel, and it is about grief, loss, and death of loved ones. I first read this book in middle school, and just finished re-reading it after the Twilight craze left me wanting more teen vampire fiction. I wonder if Stephenie Meyer ever read this book, because the vampire name...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38710700">more...</a>]]></body>

Definitely explores the darker themes surrounding the vampire mythos more than Stephanie Meyers books.
