  <default_description>The romantic horror genre reaches a new level of complexity in this novel, which manages to be simultaneously thought-provoking and blood-curdling. Kerry becomes the unwitting accomplice of an attractive, mysterious boy on the run, only to discover that he is a vampire. Can she trust her feelings for someone so alien to her? Or has she been &quot;seduced by the glamour of evil&quot;? An ALA Best Book for Young Adults, this was called &quot;a tingly thriller&quot; by &lt;I&gt;Horn Book&lt;/I&gt;

&lt;i&gt;Ages 12 and Up&lt;/i&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Now this is what I mean by a vampire novel. I'm still not sure I buy that the woman is *in love* with the vampire, but it's solved in this novel by the fact that Kerry is a teenager, much less naive than your average 16 yr old perhaps, but still a teenager and therefore prone to crushes and faulty j...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/10465363">more...</a>]]></body>

This predates Twilight and the entire vampire craze for good reason...it's singular because it's honest and sophisticated and raw and ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/68670676">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I'm so glad that I can move on with my life now.  This book took forever to read and I've knocked out books longer than this in one night!  I was so unentertained with this read, but I couldn't stop reading it because I kept hoping that something would happen to make this book better.

    <body><![CDATA[You want to read a GREAT teen vampire story? Forget <em>Twilight</em>. Well, try to, anyway. <em>This</em> is the one you should be reading. It's got a smart heroine who isn't particularly klutsy, vampires, danger, AND (bonus!) you get the whole story in ONE book! <br/><br/>It's late at night, but does Kerry get to...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/4915273">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[VVV is a perfect example of what makes YA great. This and <em>Dragon's Bait</em> are two of the most erotic books I've ever read, and the most that ever happens in either is a kiss. The supernatural antiheroes of VVV's books--mysterious, dangerous, magnetic--affected me powerfully as a young reader, before I...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48488918">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[The cover just looks so.... boring! But I got farther into the book and realized it really wasn't too bad. I can't say that I completely enjoyed this book though. Yes, it was good, but it didn't compare to some other books I had read. Also, the end was a little depressing. :( I couldn't believe the ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45686911">more...</a>]]></body>
